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.
Firstly I just wanna say that this cost me $50 not $30 like the RRP says on here.
This concealer comes in a large variety of shades, so you should be able to find a shade for you, and if you buy from Mecca Cosmetica then they will match it to your skin tone for you.
Nars Creamy Concealer is in a tube with a doe foot style applicator in the lid, which makes it really simple and comfortable to apply. The product itself feels really light and smooth on the skin, and blends really easily.
The coverage is excellent and also has a great brightening effect. I highly recommend this concealer.
Tips: Apply with the applicator and blend with a Beauty Blender or similar.
