In the world of never-ending beauty collaborations that don’t always make the most sense at times, there are two brands we’ll always stand by when they come together: Augustinus Bader and Victoria Beckham Beauty. After releasing two stellar products, the duo joined forces once again to launch what is now the SheKnows editorial team’s favorite concealer.
Like all Augustinus Bader skincare products, The Concealer Pen features the brand’s patented skincare technology, TFC8®. Per the brand, the unique compound is made of high-grade vitamins, peptides, and natural amino acids, and is designed to support the skin’s renewal. Considering that the most common area where we apply concealer is on the delicate skin under the eyes, you can see why having those skincare benefits can help elevate this makeup product like nothing we’ve ever tried before.
It’s available in 16 beautiful shades that offer light-to-medium buildable coverage that works well for all skin types. Since the formula is made with TFC8®, the brand says that The Concealer Pen can help improve the complexion in just four weeks. But of course, for the sake of beauty journalism, our team put it that claim to the test.
Over the last couple of months, four of our editors and writers have been privileged enough to try out The Concealer Pen. Spoiler alert: it has quickly become our new go-to beauty product!

The Concealer Pen in L1
“I’ve become a huge fan of Victoria Beckham Beauty — the products are so good and the packaging is so luxe — so I was excited to try the new concealer. It doesn’t disappoint! A little goes a long way with this product (which is a plus, considering the elevated price point), and it blends in seamlessly. This concealer feels more like skincare — a tinted eye cream — than a heavy concealer. It doesn’t completely cover my dark under-eye circles, but it makes me look more refreshed — and it doesn’t get cakey or crease.”

The Concealer Pen in LM1
“The Concealer Pen has a wonderfully lightweight consistency that feels smooth on the skin without any hint of stickiness. I was particularly impressed with the variety of shades available, and mine matched my skin tone perfectly. Since it’s cooler weather, my makeup tends to last longer, and this concealer can go about five hours without touch-ups. My skin can get oily throughout the day, but I didn’t notice it impacting my makeup. It blends beautifully, and the skincare benefits are impressive, feeling hydrating on my skin. I also love the paintbrush applicator (I feel like an artist) —plus, a little bit of product goes a long way in terms of coverage!”

The Concealer Pen in DK1
“Although I’m a beauty and shopping writer, I sometimes loathe wearing makeup — it’s just too much sometimes. However, I’ve genuinely enjoyed using The Concealer Pen. Everything about it, from the applicator to the color match, has been a dream of a makeup product. For starters, the color match is extremely impressive. As a person of color with deep melanated skin, I was a little concerned about how well it would work for me with only 16 shades available. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the majority of the shades are made with darker skin tones in mind, and the color match was absolutely perfect. It goes effortlessly and blends so well with a brush or a sponge. It has quickly become my favorite makeup product that launched this year.”

The Concealer Pen in FL2
“As someone who wears concealers on most days, I can tell when one is good right off the bat, and this one is good. It lasts all day without too much creasing. It has a great color match and offers light coverage. I like that because it also ensures that some areas, like under the eyes, are buildable. It does have a rather thin consistency, but it’s very blendable, even if it’s been sitting on my skin for a bit in between steps. Also, the pen-style applicator makes it really easy to apply, especially for on-the-go situations. However, I will say it’s not the best option when it comes to covering acne since it’s such a thin consistency, and as someone with acne-prone skin, I did notice that right away.”
