FAQs

What's the best way to apply this concealer?

For best results, use a clean fingertip (the warmth helps melt the product slightly) or a synthetic concealer brush. Dab a small amount onto the area you want to conceal and gently pat to blend the edges into your skin. Build coverage in thin layers as needed.

Is this concealer suitable for oily skin?

Yes, its natural-looking matte finish is particularly well-suited for normal to oily skin types, as it helps to control shine throughout the day and provides a smooth, non-greasy appearance.

Can I use this concealer for under-eye dark circles?

Absolutely. It is formulated to effectively hide dark circles. Apply a small amount to the darkest areas and gently pat to blend it out. For very dry under-eyes, consider using a hydrating eye cream beforehand.

How do I choose the right shade?

It's recommended to test shades directly on your skin, ideally in natural light. For blemishes and hyperpigmentation, match the concealer to your exact skin tone. For brightening under-eyes, choose a shade one or two steps lighter than your skin tone.

Does this concealer crease?

When applied in thin layers and potentially set with a minimal amount of translucent powder, this concealer is formulated to resist creasing and provide smooth, long-lasting wear, even in areas with fine lines.

How do I ensure a natural-looking finish?

The key to a natural finish is proper skin prep and light application. Start with a small amount of product, blend thoroughly by patting (not rubbing), and build coverage slowly in thin layers only where needed.

Troubleshooting

Concealer looks caked or heavy on the skin.

Use a minimal amount of product; its full coverage means a small dab is often enough. Blend thoroughly by patting, not rubbing, and build coverage in thin layers if needed.

Concealer creases, especially under the eyes.

Ensure the area is well-hydrated before application. Apply a very thin layer of concealer and set it lightly with a translucent setting powder using a fluffy brush or damp sponge.

Concealer doesn't blend smoothly or looks patchy.

Prep your skin with a good moisturizer or primer. If using a brush, try a damp beauty sponge for a more seamless finish. Ensure the product isn't drying too quickly on your skin.

The shade appears incorrect or too noticeable.

Always test the concealer shade in natural light on the area you intend to use it. Blend the edges completely into your skin to see how it integrates with your natural skin tone or foundation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coverage: Effectively hides even prominent imperfections and provides significant camouflage.
Durable Wear: Stays fresh and vibrant for hours without requiring frequent reapplication, resisting fading.
Matte Finish: Ideal for controlling shine, especially in oilier areas or for those who prefer a non-luminous look.
Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly into the skin for an undetectable look when applied correctly.
Non-Creasing: Resists settling into fine lines, particularly around the eyes, when properly applied and set.

Cons

Matte Finish: May emphasize dry patches or texture if skin is not adequately moisturized or prepped.
Pot Format: Requires a clean brush or clean fingers for application, which some users might find less hygienic or convenient than a wand applicator.
Shade Matching: Finding the perfect shade can be challenging, requiring careful selection to match specific skin tones and undertones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure you get the best results and extend the life of your NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer, follow these guidelines for setup, compatibility, and care:

Setup & Application

Prep Your Skin: Always begin with a clean, moisturized face. For the under-eye area, ensure you've applied a hydrating eye cream and allowed it to fully absorb. For drier skin types, a hydrating primer or a richer moisturizer is recommended to prevent the matte finish from clinging to dry patches.
Gather Tools: You can use a clean fingertip (the warmth aids blending), a synthetic concealer brush, or a small, damp beauty sponge.
Product Application: Pick up only a small amount of product initially; its full coverage means a little goes a long way. Dot the concealer directly onto the area you wish to conceal.
Blend Gently: Use gentle patting or tapping motions to blend the concealer outwards, ensuring seamless integration with your skin. Avoid rubbing, as this can disrupt coverage or create streaks.
Build Layers: For more intense coverage, apply additional thin layers, allowing each layer to settle for a moment before adding more.

Compatibility

Foundation: This concealer pairs well with both matte and natural-finish foundations. If you use a dewy foundation, apply this concealer after to maintain its matte effect in specific areas without compromising the overall dewy look.
Skin Type: While versatile, its matte finish makes it ideally suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types. Users with very dry skin might need to ensure extra hydration beneath to prevent it from looking patchy or emphasizing dryness.
Other Products: Compatible with most skincare products, primers, setting powders, and setting sprays. Always apply skincare and primer first, then foundation (if using), then concealer.

Care & Maintenance

Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its creamy consistency and prevent drying out.
Hygiene: Always use clean fingers or a clean brush when applying to prevent bacterial contamination. Regularly clean your makeup brushes to maintain product integrity and ensure hygienic application.
Closing: Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent air exposure, which can dry out the product.
