"What's the best concealer?" a Twitter user curiously asked people on Tuesday, hoping to get recommendations for makeup that best covers up dark spots and blemishes.
What's the best concealer?
The beauty community came through with a list of cosigned, go-to products.
@Comanda_x maybelline age rewind is rlly good and inexpensive
Tarte Shape Tape is a crowd favorite, apparently.
@Comanda_x tarte shape tape
@Comanda_x tarte shape tape & la girls concealer are like the best
As are some Nars concealers (good to know, good to know).
@Comanda_x Nars radiant is amazing but runs out too quickly, try nars soft matte concealer. Orrr Becca aqua luminous
@Comanda_x the NARS 😍😍
A lot of people helpfully shared the makes and models of their most trusted concealers.
Clinique https://t.co/aVHDz751vi
@Comanda_x Wet N Wild photo focus, maybelline fit me, LA girl, & NYX has one called gotcha covered (it's in a tube) it covers EVERYTHING
And it looks like @Comanda_x will be trying a recommendation out for herself! (As will I, as will I.)
Majority of the replies to this said this tarte stuff is the best, lool let's see what all the fuss is about
But then user @filipeluisrl chimed in, and gave his best answer. What's the best concealer? "The government," he replied.

And — with a tweet that's gone massively viral — he made a lot of people do a literal spit-take.
@filipeluisrl @bottIedups I quite literally spit out my drink.
@filipeluisrl @Baddicey i just deadass choked on my water

@filipeluisrl @apaesthet1c no lie here
Twitter has gone from 0 to 60 in 3.5. From makeup brand reviews to being fully awoken.

Concealer will do that, you know.
