Most if not all beauty junkies would have heard about the new Soft Matte Concealer from NARS. After hearing rave reviews and being in the market for a new concealer, I thought, ‘hell! Let’s give this expensive one a go.’ And so I did my friends, and so I did.
Today I’m going to be breaking it down for you. Is this concealer worth forking out the cash for or is it totally overrated?
The Money:
£23
Where:
I bought mine from Space NK but NARS is available in most department stores and online.
The Packaging:
In my humble opinion, NARS has always nailed it’s packaging. It’s sleek matte black theme lives on and, interestingly, this concealer comes in pot form. Now this is not exactly a totally innovative idea as it has been done before by many brands but it’s not completely common either. Normally a fan of concealer to come in a tube with a doe foot applicator (like NARS’s Radient Creamy Concealer), this packing surprisingly works well for me. What can I say? I’m a fan of little pots (they’re cute).
The Swatch:
One swipe of this little baby provides you with buttery, creamy, matte, full coverage goodness. All the beauty buzzwords in one sentence.
The Verdict:
In two words: me likey. The product is exactly what it says it is: soft, matte and conceals dark circles and blemishes well. What more could a girl want? Not usually being a huge fan of concealer anyway (I often find even the most hyped concealers cake under my eyes even after setting them with powder), I have to admit that I really, really enjoy using this one. After setting my under eyes with powder there is minimal creasing throughout the day; a huge beauty feat for me. So is it worth the hype? Absa-bloody-lutely.
