NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer - Truffle

This concealer is particularly well-suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types due to its mattifying properties. Individuals with very dry skin should ensure robust skin hydration before use.

For concealing blemishes, choose a shade that matches your foundation or skin tone exactly. For brightening or camouflaging dark circles, opt for a shade that is one to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone.

Absolutely! The NARS Soft Matte Concealer provides excellent coverage and can be used on its own for a natural 'no-makeup' makeup look, targeting only the areas that need it most.

This concealer is known for its long-wearing formula, often lasting for many hours without significant fading or creasing, especially when set with a light powder.

While NARS formulates many of its products to be non-comedogenic (meaning they are less likely to clog pores), it is always best to check the specific product packaging or NARS' official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding this claim for the Soft Matte Concealer.

For dark circles, apply a small dot of product to the inner corner and the darkest part of the under-eye area. Gently pat and blend with your ring finger or a damp mini beauty sponge. Avoid dragging or rubbing to maintain coverage and prevent creasing.

This concealer can be effectively removed with most makeup removers, cleansing oils, or micellar water. Gently wipe or massage the remover onto the area, then rinse thoroughly as part of your regular cleansing routine.

You might be using too much product. Start with a tiny amount and build up if needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated, and blend thoroughly by patting, not rubbing.

Apply a minimal amount of product to the under-eye area. Ensure the area is moisturized. After application, gently pat any excess product with a clean finger or sponge, then lightly set with a translucent powder to lock it in place.

Ensure you are applying the concealer in good, natural lighting. Concealer shades can appear different under artificial light. If it's consistently off, consider if the undertone or depth is truly the best match for your skin; it's possible a different shade or mixing two shades might be needed.

Work in smaller sections, applying and blending one area at a time. You can also try applying it over a freshly applied, slightly tacky primer or moisturizer to give you a bit more playtime before it sets.

The NARS Soft Matte Concealer has a matte finish. Ensure your skin is thoroughly hydrated with a good moisturizer or hydrating primer before application. If your skin is naturally very dry, you might need to adjust your skincare routine or use an even smaller amount of this product.
