Product Information

Full details

The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer is designed for anyone seeking a high-performance, full-coverage solution to seamlessly blur imperfections and even skin tone. Its key win is the ability to deliver powerful correction with a natural-looking, soft-matte finish that doesn't cake or settle into lines. A primary consideration is that its matte finish may not be ideal for those who prefer a dewy complexion. This oil-free, ultra-lightweight cream formula conceals dark circles, redness, and blemishes while simultaneously smoothing the skin's appearance.

FAQs

How do I choose the right shade for my skin tone?

For concealing, choose a shade that closely matches your skin tone. For brightening under-eye areas, select a shade one step lighter than your skin tone. It's best to test shades in natural light on your jawline or the area you intend to conceal.

Is this concealer suitable for oily skin?

Yes, its oil-free, soft-matte formula makes it particularly suitable for oily and combination skin types as it helps to control shine and maintain a matte finish throughout the day.

Can I use this concealer without foundation?

Absolutely! The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer is perfect for 'no-makeup' makeup days. You can use it to spot conceal blemishes, redness, or dark circles for a naturally perfected complexion without applying a full face of foundation.

Does this concealer crease under the eyes?

Formulated for all-day wear and to resist settling into fine lines, it is designed to minimize creasing. Proper skin hydration, using a thin layer, and gentle patting for application will further help prevent creasing.

What's the best way to apply this concealer for a natural look?

For a natural look, use a minimal amount of product. Dab it directly onto the area to be concealed, then gently pat and blend the edges with your finger or a small, dense brush. The warmth of your finger helps it melt into the skin for a seamless finish.

Is this product non-comedogenic?

While the product description highlights that it 'won't settle into fine lines and pores' and contains skin-caring ingredients, specific non-comedogenic claims should be verified on the product packaging or NARS official website, as formulations can vary. > Info needed: Confirm non-comedogenic claim.

Troubleshooting

Concealer looks cakey or settles into fine lines/pores.

Apply less product. A thin layer is often sufficient for full coverage. Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application. Pat the product into the skin rather than rubbing, and consider setting with a very light dusting of translucent powder if needed.

Concealer isn't blending smoothly.

Ensure your skin is adequately moisturized. Use a dabbing or patting motion with your finger (the warmth helps) or a damp beauty sponge/brush. Blend the edges seamlessly into your skin or foundation.

Coverage isn't sufficient for severe imperfections.

Apply in thin, buildable layers. Allow each layer to set for a few moments before adding more. Ensure you are using a shade that effectively neutralizes the imperfection (e.g., a peachier tone for dark circles).

Concealer appears too dark or orange after application.

This could be due to oxidation or an incorrect shade match. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed when not in use. Re-evaluate your shade selection; it might be beneficial to try a shade with a different undertone or one step lighter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High Coverage: Effectively conceals a wide range of imperfections.
Natural Appearance: Delivers full coverage without looking heavy or unnatural.
Blurring Effect: Visibly blurs skin texture, including fine lines and pores.
Long-Wearing: Stays put all day without creasing or caking.
Skin Benefits: Contains beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides.
Comfortable Feel: Lightweight and doesn't leave skin feeling dry or tight.

Cons

Matte Finish: May not be preferred by users who favor a dewy or radiant look.
Pot Application: Requires a brush or finger for application, which some may find less convenient than a wand applicator.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no complex setup required. The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer comes in a compact pot, ready for immediate use. Simply open the lid and begin application.

Compatibility

Skin Types: Compatible with most skin types, particularly beneficial for normal, combination, and oily skin due to its soft-matte, oil-free formula. Those with very dry skin should ensure proper moisturization before use.
Other Products: Designed to integrate seamlessly with other makeup products. It can be applied over or under foundation, and blends well with liquid, cream, or powder products.
Shade Matching: The key to optimal compatibility is selecting the correct shade to match your skin tone or a shade slightly lighter for brightening effects.

Care

Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and longevity.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination and maintain product quality, always use clean hands, a clean brush, or a clean sponge when retrieving product from the pot. Avoid double-dipping if possible. Close the lid tightly after each use.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '6M' for 6 months), which indicates how long the product is good for once opened.
