Nars Creamy Concealer

I'm not going to lie, I bought this because most of my favourite YouTubers absolutely raved about it. I ended up getting it in the shade vanilla, because I am pale. Thank you, Irish and German genetics. Thank you. Anyway, I tend to use this only to highlight along the cheekbone, between the eyebrows, down the bridge of the nose and on the chin. I find it a little too think to use under my eyes, and when I do it creases like a B****!! However, I will repurchase this because I do love the pigmentation and how well it blends out for a general highlight.

I was recommended this by the lovely girls at Mecca to use as an under eye concealer. This works really well to cover dark circles and give the under the under eye area a lift. It stays put once it has set and doesn’t crease. It’s also good at concealing spots. Id like purchase this again but I always feel bad about the fact Nars sells in China and therefore is not a cruelty free brand. I’ll probably keep searching for something equivalent that is cruelty free.

I have this shade in Chantilly which I colour matched myself at my local Mecca Maxima.

This is a pretty nice concealer, It is nice and creamy , but not too runny. It glides on nicely on the skin and does blend out really nicely. I find a little goes a long way. It does neutralize my redness quiet well, and hides other skin imperfections. I'm not the biggest fan of using this concealer under the eyes as I find it settles into my fine lines, but every concealer does that with me so I don't hold it against it. The only criticism I really have of this concealer is that it dries quiet fast, so its best to conceal and blend one area at a time rather than putting in all the spots you want it and then blending. Also I find it doesn't really cover active acne as well as I would like, this is lightweight medium coverage. I wouldn't necessarily call this full coverage.

All in all, I was a little disappointed with this concealer, but I think that may be due to so many people raving about this. Its a pretty good concealer, but I'm looking for a little more coverage than this gives me. I would be interested in trying the creamy matte version of this concealer as apart from the coverage I do quiet like it

Another item I purchased because of the hype surrounding it. I honestly didn't like it on my skin, I found it didn't blend out evenly and I was left with clumps of pigment under my eyes and zero coverage. I do have quite dry skin and use heavy oils and moisturizers so that could be the problem but I heard it worked for dry skin so that's why I thought it would work for me. I definitely won't be be purchasing when I finish the tube.

I splurged on this concealer and am so disappointed in it! In my opinion it's not very creamy, on me it's hard to work with as it dries really fast on the skin. I like products to be creamy and hydrating on my skin as I can get dry skin, this would probably work better on oily skin tones. Oh and this creases on me.... And I don't really have problems with other concealer a I've used. Big fail for me but may work for someone else!

I wanted to love this so much because I had heard SO many good things about it, but I just couldn't love it. I didn't find this as creamy as everyone said it was and find it more dry/thick, not that thick is a bad thing because it means move coverage anyway, but I just would have liked it to be a bit smoother than it is. The price is pretty high for a concealer so I expected amazing things. The other thing I didn't really like is the packaging, the pottle it's in means there is a lot of waste at the end and it's too hard to try scoop out any other way.

This was originally purchased with the intention to use it under my eyes. I have very dehydrated / dry under eyes, which not only have dark circles, but also have a million fine lines - lucky me!

I wanted this to work so bad, but instead it worked bad...

After only a few minutes of applying a light layer to my under eye area, this concealer creases badly on me. I've tried it on my days off, and have worn it around the house just to see if I can make it work, but by the end of each day that I've done this, it has caked up and gone really dry.

There is not as much coverage at the end of the day, and it also manages to find its way into my lines - showing off even more than I knew I had - eeek! I'm not too sure where creamy fits into the title of this concealer, because I really have found it to be anything but!

Seeing as I can't use it under my eyes, I've decided to use it on my face - I can't bear to waste a tiny tube of $$$!

To me it is just an OK facial concealer, and I'm not too sure if I would buy it again for this...actually, I probably wouldn't. I find that it wears off, and while it covers things nicely to begin with, half way through the day it looks powdery on my combination skin.

The more I think about this one, the more disappointed I am...seems like it works so well for so many people!
