As the week picks up speed mid-fashion month, the healthy glow from last weekend’s extended morning workouts and long, languid afternoons has officially worn off. It’s practically universal law that by every Wednesday, complexions could use a little well-timed pick-me-up. Luckily, a new generation of hard-working concealers, formulated with tired eyes and long nights in mind, is here to help. For a super-surge of hydration and plumped-up skin, pick up Too Faced’s coconut water-infused cover-up or Neutrogena’s latest creation boasting hyaluronic acid to banish dryness and camouflage discoloration.

Those on the go would do well to pack Bobbi Brown’s Retouching Wand, capable of erasing dark circles with the click of a button. Meanwhile Giorgio Armani’s Compact Cream Concealer is sleek enough even for the most diminutive evening clutch. Here are eleven next-generation formulas that do more than just cover up.
