Full details

The NARS Soft Matte Concealer in 5G Ginger is a high-performance, full-coverage, oil-free, and ultra-lightweight cream designed to blur imperfections and smooth the look of skin with a soft matte, natural-looking finish.

While its matte finish is excellent for oil control and a smooth look, users who prefer a dewy complexion might find it less suitable for their preference.

FAQs

What kind of finish does this concealer have?

The NARS Soft Matte Concealer provides a soft matte, natural-looking finish that blurs imperfections and smooths the skin.

Is this concealer suitable for all skin types?

Yes, its oil-free formula makes it suitable for various skin types. Additionally, it's enriched with collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid, making it comfortable for skin with fine lines or dryness concerns.

How much product should I use for effective coverage?

Due to its high pigmentation and full coverage, a minimal amount of product is sufficient. François Nars, the founder, suggests dabbing it on with your finger for the highest coverage with the least amount of product.

Does this concealer crease or settle into fine lines?

No, the formula is specifically designed to be non-cakey and will not settle into fine lines and pores, ensuring all-day wear and a smooth appearance.

What types of imperfections can this concealer cover?

It is designed to instantly conceal a wide range of imperfections, including dark circles, redness, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and acne.

Does this concealer offer any skincare benefits?

Yes, it is enriched with skin-caring ingredients such as collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid to help plump the skin, and antioxidants (Vitamins A, C, and E) for daily defense.

Can I apply this concealer with a brush instead of my fingers?

While it's optimized for finger application, you can certainly use a clean concealer brush. For best results, use a tapping or stippling motion to blend rather than dragging.

Troubleshooting

Concealer appears cakey or settles into fine lines.

Ensure you are using a minimal amount of product, as it is highly pigmented. Prep your skin with a good moisturizer or primer. Blend thoroughly by tapping the product into the skin rather than rubbing, which can disrupt the finish. The formula is designed not to cake or settle, so less is often more.

Concealer doesn't seem to provide enough coverage.

While highly pigmented, if you're not getting desired coverage, ensure you are applying directly to the imperfection and building up in very thin layers. Also, confirm that the shade chosen is appropriate for the area you are concealing (e.g., a slightly peachier tone for dark circles if needed).

Product feels dry or difficult to blend.

Ensure your skin is adequately moisturized before application. The product is designed to be lightweight and blend effortlessly. If it feels dry, check the product's expiry and ensure it has been stored correctly with the lid tightly closed to prevent it from drying out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coverage: Effectively conceals a wide range of imperfections, from dark circles to blemishes.
Natural-Looking Finish: Delivers a soft matte, non-cakey look that blends seamlessly with the skin.
Long-Lasting: Provides all-day wear without creasing or settling into fine lines and pores.
Skin-Benefiting Formula: Contains peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants for added skincare advantages.
Lightweight Feel: Despite its full coverage, the formula feels ultra-light and comfortable on the skin.
Oil-Free: Suitable for various skin types, including those prone to oiliness.

Cons

Matte Finish Preference: The soft matte finish may not be ideal for users who specifically prefer a dewy or luminous complexion.
Shade Specificity: Requires careful shade matching to ensure a seamless blend with individual skin tones, as this guide focuses on the 5G Ginger - Medium Warm shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup & Application

This concealer comes ready for direct application. For best results, ensure your skin is clean and moisturized.

Prep Skin: Apply your usual skincare routine and primer if desired. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated but not greasy.
Dispense: Scoop a very small amount of product with a clean finger or a dedicated concealer brush. Remember, a little goes a long way due to its high pigmentation.
Apply: Gently dab the product directly onto the areas you wish to conceal, such as under-eye circles, blemishes, or areas of redness. Start with a thin layer.
Blend: Gently tap and blend the edges of the applied product with your finger or a brush until it seamlessly melts into your skin. The warmth of your finger can help facilitate a natural finish. If more coverage is needed, build up in thin layers.

Compatibility

Skin Types: The oil-free formula is well-suited for most skin types, including combination and oily skin. Its inclusion of collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid also makes it comfortable for skin with fine lines or dryness concerns, helping to plump the skin over time and prevent a dry or tight feeling.
Shade Matching: This specific variant is 5G Ginger - Medium Warm. For optimal results, ensure the shade matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter for brightening effects under the eyes. NARS offers a wide range of shades to suit diverse complexions.

Product Care

To maintain the quality and efficacy of your NARS Soft Matte Concealer:

Close Tightly: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its integrity.
Store Properly: Keep the concealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (both hot and cold).
Hygiene: Always use clean fingers or a freshly sanitized brush for application to prevent contamination of the product. Avoid sharing makeup products.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the product packaging, typically indicated by an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months), to determine its recommended lifespan after opening.
