Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This product requires no complex setup. Simply open the lid to access the concealer. For optimal application, ensure you have clean fingers or a suitable concealer brush ready.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: Its oil-free formula makes it suitable for most skin types, including oily and combination skin. The presence of hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid also makes it comfortable for normal to dry skin, as it's designed not to feel dry or tight.
- Other Makeup: This concealer layers well under foundation or can be used on its own. Its soft matte finish makes it compatible with various setting powders if desired, though it's formulated for all-day wear without needing excessive touch-ups.
- Shade Matching: The "Vanilla - Fair Cool" shade is designed for fair skin tones with cool undertones. NARS offers a wide range of shades to match different complexions and undertones.
Care & Maintenance
- Storage: Store the concealer with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain the product's integrity and prevents it from drying out.
- Hygiene: Always use clean fingers or a clean makeup brush when applying the product. This prevents the transfer of oils and bacteria into the pot, extending the product's lifespan and ensuring hygienic application.
- Product Integrity: Avoid adding any liquids or other substances to the concealer pot, as this can alter the formula and compromise its performance.
- Check Expiration: Look for the period-after-opening (PAO) symbol (an open jar icon with a number and 'M', e.g., 6M) on the packaging. This indicates how many months the product is good for after opening.
