FAQs
How do I choose the right shade of NARS Soft Matte Concealer?
It's recommended to choose a shade that closely matches your skin tone or foundation for concealing blemishes. For brightening under-eyes, you might opt for a shade one or two levels lighter than your skin tone. Testing in natural light is always best.
Can this concealer be used under the eyes?
Yes, it can. Its soft matte finish can be beneficial for those who prefer a less dewy look under the eyes. However, ensure the under-eye area is well-hydrated to prevent the product from looking dry or settling into fine lines.
Is this product non-comedogenic?
> Info needed: Specific product formulation details are not provided. NARS generally formulates products with skin health in mind, but always check the ingredient list if you have specific sensitivities.
What is the best way to apply this concealer?
For targeted spot concealing, use a clean fingertip (the warmth helps it melt into the skin), a small synthetic brush, or a precise makeup sponge. Dab or tap the product gently onto the imperfection and blend the edges.
How do I make this concealer last all day?
For optimal longevity, start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a thin layer of concealer and set it lightly with a translucent setting powder, especially on areas where you need maximum wear, like under the eyes or over blemishes.
Does NARS Soft Matte Concealer oxidize?
> Info needed: Oxidation (a shade darkening after application) can vary by individual skin chemistry. Generally, NARS formulations are designed to be stable, but it's always good to observe how the shade performs on your skin over a few hours.
Troubleshooting
Concealer looks cakey or settles into fine lines.
Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application. Use less product and blend thoroughly. Lightly set with a minimal amount of translucent powder, especially under the eyes.
Shade doesn't seem to match my skin perfectly.
Try blending the edges more thoroughly into your foundation or bare skin. If the shade is slightly off, consider using it for specific purposes (e.g., a slightly lighter shade for highlighting under eyes, a more exact match for blemishes). Always test shades in natural light.
Concealer fades or wears off quickly during the day.
Prep skin with a suitable primer. Apply a thin, even layer of concealer. Set the concealer with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness or friction.
