To begin with, let us identify the two forms of concealer for men we will be looking at and identify which category of cover up they fall within.

First up are concealer sticks for men (sometimes called cover-up sticks).  These often come in a casing which resembles lip stick from the exterior and include a twist up mechanism, designed for effective and contemporary use.  Focusing entirely on concealing non age related male skin imperfections such as blemishes, marks and spots, this form of concealer ranks highly amongst gentlemen looking for the smoothest of finishes.

As for today’s opponents:  Concealer pots for men are quite literally what they say on the tin.  The same versatile cover up encased in a pot with a twist off lid.  Popular amongst younger men whom do not wish for their male cosmetics to resemble feminine products (such as lipstick), this form of concealer offers flexibility beyond any other.  When it comes to choosing a good concealer pot for men, MMUK MAN have an excellent range to help you on your way.
