Nars Creamy Concealer

What I love the most about this product is that even being a very creamy concealer it wont crease in your thin lines...I got the Ginger shade and it definitely covers dark circles quite a bit. It's worth paying a bit more.

I bought this at Mecca in Auckland while purchasing the nars sheer glow foundation. I was matched with the colour "custard" and now I think I could have gone one shade lighter, it works perfectly with the sheer glow foundation but it doesn't really work with any of my other foundations. This colour is very natural so you don't get any brightness under the eyes, I use this concealer when I'm doing more "no makeup, makeup looks" it makes me look flawless, but I do prefer a bit of under eye highlight personally as I have very dark circles under my eyes and I find I can still see them a bit with this concealer. I love how creamy it is and the coverage, but I will for sure be investing in a lighter one ASAP!

I finally got round to trying this product after a bunch of my friends and favorite youtubers raved over it. I thought it was a really good coverage highlighting concealer, however, no matter what I tried it always creased under my eyes. I tried applying it all different ways but it always creased. I have heard that for others it works perfectly though. Maybe its just my skin type. Other than that its a good product and not too expensive either.

Every time I see something raved about I always second guess it. Many questions come to mind and nowadays I like to let the hype settle down before purchasing new products especially if they are expensive products. The funny thing is that the hype didn't die down for the Nars creamy concealer. I had seen Sssamantha rave about this for so long and I had made this a priority on my want list. When I got to see this concealer in store and I was able to test it in the store, I couldn't get to the checkout quick enough. If you can take a second to think about how butter melts when you touch it? Imagine a concealer that does that also!

The applicator is quite stiff which I found different as all the other concealers have a flexible wand. A small amount of product goes a long way, 2 dots on each under eye area is enough to conceal and highlight your under eyes. And it really does highlight! The consistency is very thick, I would compare it to paint, and highly pigmented.

I was very impressed with the colour range for medium skin tones, there was so many that you need to be sure before you purchase. I had purchased custard and it is a shade to 2 shades lighter than my skin tone. I couldn't use it to concealer the rest of my face unless I was highlighting those areas so that was a bit disappointing.

I have found this to crease in the fine lines under my eyes, If I add a good amount of Bossy cosmetics Boudoir under eye melt to under my eyes first, it creates a barrier before applying the concealer on top. It helps A LOT. So if I need to use the Nars creamy concealer to hide my dark circles I need to apply the under eye melt first, then the Nars creamy concealer, and set it with a light dusting of loose powder. I also like to use this to add as an under brow high light, it tidies up my brow arches and gives them a gentle lift too.

The concealer lasts all day, normally my foundation has worn off but the concealed places are still going strong.

I will be repurchasing this again.

To start off, the shade range of this concealer is awesome. The shades go super light for all the pale goes, but also cater for all different undertones as well, which is great as I have trouble finding yellow toned concealers and foundations. It's a full coverage formula and quite a thick consistency. The only negative comment is that I actually find it to be a bit of a dry consistency when blending, so I have to put quite a bit of effort into blending it out under my eyes. The packaging is nice and simple and has a standard do foot applicator.

I have the mini size of this concealer and find it really handy for travelling or in the handbag. It has a doe foot applicator, and has pretty good coverage. I was recommended this concealer for both undereye and spot concealing. Because it's quite thick, it was a little tricky to blend it well under the eyes but if your eyes are less sensitive it could be worth considering for you. The colour I was matched to was a little bit light, but the next colour up was a bit too dark.

I bought a travel sized version from Mecca in Custard to see what all the hype was about and I just didn't get it. It settled a tiny amount into my lines, but went on smoothly. It just wasn't the coverage I was looking for. Its also the same price as Mac pro longer concealer for about 2/3 the quantity. It seems like a great product, just not for me!

On the plus side, the travel size was great for travel.

I use this product both as an under eye concealer and a spot concealer( obviously in two different shades) and for both jobs this concealer does the trick! It has a thick/creamy consistency which glides on to the face. I love the packaging as well, as it fit in my "town" purse, so i could take it out and easily apply it when I was out for the night.

For the price though I think it runs out extremely fast and often found that I had to keep repurchasing after only a short while. But if you have the cash to spend, try it out!

I just keep reaching for this concealer!! I have quite a few others but the shade is perfect for coverage the consistency is beautiful, creamy and not too drying, doesn’t break me out and is a lovely product. My only issue is the staying power, mainly on my nose/t zone , unless I am using a hefty setting spray/powder it just falls off by midday. Could be user error and I blame my overly oily skin. Otherwise fantastic product!!
