The Top 3 Beard Concealers
ByOf all the beauty flaws out there, nothing is as bad as having a visible beard shadow!
Your best bet is to get rid of your beard through laser hair removal or electrolysis. If you can’t do that you’ll need a close shave and a good concealer.
There are a lot of options out there, but here are the top 3 beard concealers I recommend:
1. Dermablend Cover Crème
The “mother” of all beard covers and a TG favorite, Dermablend Cover Crème ($32) is heavy enough to cover scars, tattoos, bruises, and beard shadows. On the down side, it’s very thick and can look cakey. Dermablend is best for evenings or low light situations when you can get away with heavy makeup.
2. MAC Full Coverage Foundation
MAC Full Coverage Foundation ($26) is another TG favorite. It’s a cake foundation that offers great coverage and is used by pros for beauty photography. The MAC foundation is lighter than Dermablend, so it looks more natural.
Note: MAC Full Coverage Foundation is only available in MAC Pro stores or by calling 1-800-866-6464 to order.
3. Colortration
Colortration Super Concealing Liquid Makeup ($37) is another great option for covering your beard shadow. In fact, many girls swear by it. Colortration is a highly concentrated liquid concealer, so it goes on smoother and looks more natural than crème covers.
Your best bet is to order Colortration’s six color trial kit ($17) so you can find your best shade. Order online or by calling 1-888-350-4505.
No matter which concealer you use, keep these two things in mind:
- Pat (don’t rub!) the concealer on.
- Apply powder between concealer layers.

I’ve used Dermablend successfully for many years, but was looking for something lighter for casusal use . I like to go out for a couple of hours near my home in the suburbs, I dress casual and want to look very natural. I’ve found Revlon Color Stay make-up to be excellent. It doesn’t ever come off on your clothes which is a key issue as far as I am concerned. It hides what you need to hide, and serves as foundation as well. It is quick and easy, doesn’t require powdering, unless you prefer to.
They also make a lipstick that stays and stays and stays even when you are eating things like salad. For all day wear, yes dermablend is the way to go….for four hours or less Color stay works as long as you got a nice close shave to begin with…I recommend the Gillette fusion for that.
I use a standard concealer as a beard cover. It’s inexpensive, I’m going to use it anyway and it works really well for me. I’ve been going thru laser hair removal for over a year and my beard is mostly gone now so it works great for me. If I still had a heavy beard growth I’d have to try one of the more expensive kinds.
I have had my beard removed via electrolysis about 15 years ago. I use MAC talc as my makeup since it is very good at keeping my oily patches on my nose and forehead under control. It also does a very good job of blending any irregularities in my complection.
try Max Factor — PAN STICK … goes on fairly thick — spread , and pat in setting powder in the colour of choice — blend –total coverage — 12 hours
+ ………. amazing stuff — i use pan stick 121 , with medium shade powder to blend with — then lighter under the eyes & on bridge of nose — add blush – andaway you go for the next 12 hours — PAN STICK is also a fav with Drag Queens , for coverage ability…………………….. Kelly Ann, Canada
i would like to try it

Hi One & All: I found “Clown White” was the best.First you put on the clown white on & then your regular makeup.All the old drag queens put this on before they did their shows.~ Josie (((~_~))) ~ P.S. you can only buy this clown white at theatrical stores.
Like Vicki, I use Revlon Color Stay, but I put it to the test almost daily! It lasts all day long. I prefer the “Action Sports” line of Color Stay… it stays put even when I go to the gym and work up a sweat! Best of all, it is available almost everywhere and costs about half the price of the brands reviewed!
Dear Sorella,
I am so thanksfull for all your messages, and contribution for a besser appearence.
As a frenchie, I buy what I can find. I use regularly “CACHE-BARBE” from Make Up For Ever-2 tints-Both can be mixed as I wish, depending Day or Artificial light, and season.
I shall certainly try COLORTRATION, if I can obtain it…
One more time, thanks and congratulations.
Gwen.
P.S.=May I send you a photo ??
Believe it or not, I have come to swear by Physicians Formula concealer. It is reasonably inexpensive and covers quite well without being thick or feeling like stage makeup.
Hello Lucille,
Thank-you for the information, it’s greatly appreciated.
I have been using makeup forever or vichy lately, and the translucent powder to finish off. Both are excellent products.
Before the foundation, I use the Estee Lauder product called Idealist, it makes my face look smooth and radiant (shrinks pores) and I also use their moisturiser.
Regards,
