Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Application
The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer comes in a pot, meaning it does not have a built-in applicator. For optimal and hygienic application:
- Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized before application.
- Use a clean fingertip (the warmth helps melt the product slightly for better blending) or a dedicated concealer brush.
- Dip lightly into the pot to pick up a small amount of product. A little goes a long way due to its high pigment.
- Apply directly to the area you wish to conceal using a patting or tapping motion, rather than swiping, to build coverage effectively.
- Gently blend the edges into your skin or foundation for a seamless transition.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: Its oil-free formula makes it suitable for oily and combination skin, while hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid ensure it doesn't dry out normal or even dry skin types.
- Foundation/Base: It can be used both on bare skin for targeted correction or over/under foundation, depending on your preferred application order and desired finish. It blends well with both liquid and powder foundations.
Product Care
- Hygiene: Always use clean fingers or a clean brush to prevent contamination and bacterial growth in the product.
- Storage: Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its creamy texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
