NARS Soft Matte Concealer - 6.2g - Affogato

It is designed for a soft matte finish, making it particularly ideal for normal to oily skin types. Those with dry skin can still use it effectively but may benefit from additional hydration and a hydrating primer before application.

For concealing blemishes or redness, choose a shade that matches your skin tone exactly. For brightening under-eyes, select a shade one or two tones lighter than your skin for a lifting effect.

Yes, its natural-looking coverage and smooth finish make it perfect for spot concealing and achieving an even complexion on its own, especially for a 'no-makeup' makeup look.

Dot a small amount directly onto the area needing coverage. Gently blend using your clean fingertip, a small synthetic concealer brush, or a damp beauty sponge until it seamlessly melts into your skin. Patting rather than rubbing will yield the best results.

While it has a soft matte finish, setting with a light dusting of translucent powder is recommended, especially for oily skin types or in humid conditions, to prolong wear and further prevent creasing.

A little goes a long way with this concentrated formula. Start with a very small amount and build up if more coverage is needed. Over-applying can lead to a less natural look.

Ensure your skin, especially the area where you apply the concealer, is well-hydrated and primed. For very dry skin, consider using a hydrating serum or moisturizer beforehand to create a smoother canvas.

Apply a very thin layer of product. After blending, gently blot any excess with a clean finger or sponge. Lightly set the area with a small amount of translucent setting powder using a fluffy brush to minimize creasing.

The NARS Soft Matte Concealer is buildable. Apply a second, very thin layer directly onto the stubborn area and gently pat to blend. Avoid rubbing, as this can lift the first layer. Allow each layer to set slightly before adding more.
