Can I use this concealer for my under-eye circles?
Absolutely. It's specifically designed to instantly conceal dark circles with a light-diffusing effect that brightens and smooths the under-eye area without settling into fine lines.
How much product should I use for effective coverage?
A very small amount is sufficient. This concealer is highly concentrated, so start with a tiny dab and blend, building up coverage as needed. Less is often more with this formula.

What is the best way to apply NARS Soft Matte Concealer?
For a natural, high-coverage finish, dab a small amount onto the skin with your fingertip and gently pat to blend. You can also use a dense concealer brush or a damp beauty sponge for application.
Does this concealer offer any skincare benefits?

How do I choose the correct shade of NARS Soft Matte Concealer?
The 'Macadamia' shade is described as Medium Peach. For the best match, it's recommended to swatch the concealer directly on your jawline or areas you intend to conceal to see how it blends with your natural skin tone.
Troubleshooting
Concealer appears cakey or settles into lines.
Ensure your skin is well-moisturized and prepped. Apply a very small amount of product; this concealer is highly pigmented. Dab and blend gently using your finger or a sponge to work the product into the skin, rather than swiping. Excess product can be blotted away.
Concealer doesn't last all day.
For extended wear, ensure your skin is clean and free of excess oils before application. You may set the concealer with a light dusting of translucent setting powder, especially in areas prone to creasing or oiliness, like the under-eyes or T-zone.
Difficulty blending the concealer seamlessly.
If the concealer feels a bit stiff, warm a tiny amount on the back of your hand with your finger before applying. Use a dabbing or patting motion to blend, which helps melt the product into the skin for a more natural finish. Avoid rubbing or dragging.
