FAQs
How do I determine if 'Toffee' is the right shade for me?
'Toffee' is generally suited for medium to deep skin tones with warm undertones. To confirm, test a small amount on your jawline in natural light; it should seamlessly disappear into your skin.
Can I use this concealer without wearing foundation?
Yes, absolutely! Its natural soft matte finish allows for effective spot concealing on bare skin, providing coverage where needed without the necessity of a full face of foundation.
Is this product suitable for oily skin?
Its soft matte finish makes it an excellent choice for oily skin types, as it helps to control shine in concealed areas. Setting with a powder can further enhance its oil-controlling properties.
What's the best way to apply the concealer for maximum coverage?
For maximum coverage, use a clean, small, dense brush or your fingertip. Pick up a small amount of product and pat it directly onto the imperfection. Continue to gently pat and build layers if needed, rather than swiping, to maintain pigment concentration.
How long does a 6.2g pot of NARS Soft Matte Concealer typically last?
Due to its high pigmentation and the small amount needed per application, a 6.2g pot can last several months with regular daily use, depending on the area being covered.
Is this concealer non-comedogenic?
> Info needed: Please check the product packaging or NARS official website for specific non-comedogenic claims and a full ingredient list, as formulations can be updated.
Troubleshooting
Concealer appears cakey or settles into fine lines.
Apply a much smaller amount. Warm the product slightly on the back of your hand before application. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated, especially in areas prone to dryness or creasing. Gently pat and blend, avoiding rubbing.
Concealer does not blend seamlessly with foundation.
Ensure your foundation and concealer shades have similar undertones. Apply concealer *after* your foundation for targeted areas, then blend carefully. Alternatively, apply concealer first and then carefully apply foundation around it.
Concealer fades or wears off too quickly.
Thoroughly prep your skin with a primer and moisturiser. After applying the concealer, lightly set it with a translucent powder, especially in oily areas or for extended wear. Avoid touching your face excessively.
The 'Toffee' shade looks too light/dark or doesn't match my undertone.
While 'Toffee' is a specific shade, individual skin tones can vary. Re-evaluate your skin's undertone (warm, cool, neutral) to ensure 'Toffee' is the correct match. For slight adjustments, you might try mixing a tiny amount with a different concealer shade.
