Product Information

Full details

The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer in Café Au Lait is designed for anyone seeking full-coverage, natural-looking correction for a range of skin imperfections. Its key benefit is the ability to instantly conceal dark circles, redness, and blemishes while blurring imperfections with a soft-matte finish that lasts all day without caking or settling. While exceptionally effective, users should note that its rich cream formula benefits most from a specific dabbing application technique rather than rubbing.

FAQs

What type of finish does this concealer provide?

It delivers a soft-matte, natural-looking finish that blurs imperfections for a smooth appearance.

Is the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer suitable for oily skin?

Yes, its oil-free, ultralightweight formula makes it suitable for various skin types, including oily and combination skin, without feeling heavy or greasy.

How should I apply this concealer for the best results?

For optimal coverage and a natural look, NARS recommends dabbing a small amount onto the desired area with your finger and gently patting to blend. This warms the product for seamless integration.

Will this concealer settle into fine lines or pores?

No, the formula is specifically designed to be non-cakey and resists settling into fine lines and pores, maintaining a smooth appearance all day.

Does this concealer offer any skincare benefits?

Yes, it is enriched with collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores over time, as well as an antioxidant blend (Vitamins A, C, E) for daily skin defense.

Can I use this concealer for full face coverage?

While it provides high coverage, it's primarily designed for targeted correction. Its blendable nature allows for evening out larger areas of skin tone if applied thinly, but it's not a full-face foundation.

How long does the coverage last?

The concealer is formulated for all-day wear, providing long-lasting coverage that remains comfortable and non-cakey throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Concealer looks cakey or highlights texture.

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Use a very small amount of product; this formula is highly pigmented. Blend by gently patting, rather than rubbing, to allow it to melt into the skin.

Coverage isn't sufficient for severe imperfections.

After applying an initial thin layer by patting, allow it to set for about 30 seconds. Then, apply another very thin layer directly over the most discolored or blemished area and gently pat to build coverage gradually.

Concealer seems difficult to blend.

Ensure your skin is adequately moisturized. If using a brush, try using your finger instead to warm the product slightly, which can improve blendability. Patting motions are key for seamless integration.

Concealer creases or settles into fine lines after a few hours.

This formula is designed to be non-creasing, but proper prep helps. Ensure the under-eye area is moisturized but not overloaded with product. After applying, lightly set with a minimal amount of translucent setting powder if desired, by gently pressing it into the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Concealment: Provides full, high-performance correction for various imperfections.
Natural, Blurring Finish: Delivers a soft-matte look that blurs imperfections and smooths skin.
Long-Wearing & Comfortable: Offers all-day wear without caking, settling, or feeling dry or tight on the skin.
Skin-Benefiting Formula: Infused with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants for added skincare benefits.
Effortless Blending: Blends seamlessly into the skin for a natural, undetectable look.

Cons

Application Technique Specific: Best results are achieved by dabbing with a finger, which may require adjustment for users accustomed to other tools.
Shade Matching: As with any concealer, finding the perfect shade match for your skin tone is crucial for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application Setup

Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For under-eyes, ensure the area is hydrated but not greasy.
Product Retrieval: Using a clean finger, gently dab the surface of the concealer to pick up a small amount of product. Remember, this formula is highly concentrated.
Targeted Application: Apply the retrieved product directly to the imperfection (e.g., dark circle, blemish, redness) by gently dabbing.
Blend: Use a clean finger to softly pat and blend the edges of the concealer into your skin until seamless. Avoid rubbing, as this can move the product.
Build if Needed: If more coverage is desired, allow the first thin layer to set for a moment, then apply another thin layer using the same dabbing technique.

Compatibility

Skin Types: Its oil-free and non-drying formulation makes it suitable for most skin types, including oily, combination, and mature skin, as it resists settling into fine lines.
Other Makeup: This concealer layers well under foundation or on top of it, depending on your preferred routine. It also sets well with translucent powder if a more matte finish is desired.

Product Care

Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to maintain its texture and efficacy.
Lid Security: Always ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene.
Hygiene: Use clean fingers or tools for application to prevent introducing contaminants into the product. Avoid adding any liquids to the concealer pot.
