FAQs
How do I choose the right shade of Radiant Creamy Concealer?
For concealing blemishes and evening out skin tone, choose a shade that closely matches your foundation. For brightening under the eyes or highlighting, select a shade one to two tones lighter than your skin tone.
Can I use the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer without foundation?
Yes, its natural, radiant finish makes it perfect for spot concealing on bare skin. It can effectively cover imperfections and brighten areas for a 'no-makeup' makeup look.
What's the best way to apply this concealer for seamless blending?
Apply small dots of the concealer using the doe-foot applicator. Then, gently tap and blend the product into your skin using your ring finger, a small concealer brush, or a damp beauty sponge until seamless.
Is this concealer suitable for oily skin types?
While it has a radiant finish, it can be suitable for oily skin. For best results, prep with an oil-controlling primer and set the concealer with a light dusting of translucent setting powder to control shine and extend wear.
Does this concealer work well on mature skin, particularly around the eyes?
Yes, its hydrating and creamy formula is often favored for mature skin as it helps to prevent creasing and dryness. Apply sparingly to well-moisturized skin and blend carefully for a smooth finish.
How long does the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer last once opened?
Typically, cosmetic products like concealers have a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol on the packaging, often indicating 6, 12, or 24 months. For optimal performance and hygiene, it's best to adhere to this guideline.
Troubleshooting
Concealer creases under my eyes throughout the day.
Ensure your under-eye area is thoroughly moisturized before application. Apply a very thin layer of concealer and set it lightly with a translucent powder using a fluffy brush. Avoid over-applying product.
Concealer looks cakey or heavy on my skin.
You might be using too much product. Start with a tiny amount and build coverage as needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated, as dry skin can make concealer appear cakey. Blend thoroughly with a damp sponge or finger.
The shade M1 Custard doesn't seem to match my skin.
Shade matching can be tricky. M1 Custard is designed for fair to light skin with yellow undertones. If it's too light, try a slightly darker shade for concealing blemishes, or if it's too yellow, consider a shade with a more neutral or peach undertone for color correction.
My concealer wears off quickly.
Prep your skin with a primer designed for longevity. After applying the concealer, lightly set it with a long-wearing setting powder. Avoid touching your face excessively throughout the day.
The product feels dry on my skin.
Always apply to well-moisturized skin. If your skin is prone to dryness, use a hydrating eye cream or facial moisturizer as a base. Ensure the product cap is always tightly closed to prevent it from drying out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation, use, and care will ensure optimal results and product longevity.
Skin Preparation
Before applying the concealer, ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and primed. Hydrated skin is crucial, especially under the eyes, to prevent the concealer from clinging to dry patches or settling into fine lines. Allow your moisturizer or primer to fully absorb before application.
Compatibility with Other Products
Foundation: This concealer pairs well with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. Apply foundation first, then use the concealer for targeted coverage.
Setting Powder: For extended wear and to minimize creasing, particularly on oily skin or in humid conditions, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the concealed areas. Use a small, fluffy brush for a precise application.
Other Skincare/Makeup: It layers seamlessly over serums and under powders or contour products.
Product Care
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its creamy texture and efficacy.
Hygiene: Always apply the concealer to clean skin. Avoid sharing the product to prevent the transfer of bacteria. Regularly wipe the doe-foot applicator with a clean tissue if you notice build-up, though direct cleaning with water is generally not recommended as it can compromise the formula.
