Learners sometimes say *"do a concealment"* or *"make a concealment"*. In most cases, use the pattern *"the concealment of [something]"* or simply *"concealment"* as an uncountable noun (e.g. *"There was clear concealment of data."*). Also, do not confuse *"concealment"* (the act of hiding) with *"concealer"* (a type of makeup).
