SIMILAR TO BOBBI BROWN, NARS IS A MIX OF PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP AND EVERYDAY MAKEUP, MAKING IT EASIER FOR NOVICES TO GET STARTED. It is best known for its lipsticks, blushes and eyeshadows, and its concealer products are not many, but they have a very high reputation. "Luminous Smooth Concealer" was one of the first concealer products launched by NARS, and it is still very popular today. Concealer contains rich antioxidants such as grape seed extract, and a small amount of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as purple bark extract for inflammatory acne, which is helpful in relieving skin redness and new acne scars, and is a savior for people with acne.
This product has high coverage, and can cover acne scars, spots and other imperfections with dot coating on the fingertips, and excessive blemishes can be covered twice, with strong ductility, high makeup application efficiency, low dosage, and a matte finish. The coverage is sufficient, but the durability is not satisfactory, and the makeup will be mottled after only three or four hours of use in summer, which is not friendly to oily skin users. It is recommended to set makeup well during use to prolong the wear of makeup. Although concealer is good at covering facial blemishes, it is not good at eye blemishes. Weak moisturizing strength is another fly in the ointment of this product, if used under the eyes, it is easy to wrinkle, and users with dry skin need to fully moisturize when covering facial blemishes to avoid drying.
Compared with concealer, NARS's new "Matte Purifying Concealer" launched in 2017 has greatly improved the moisturizing level. Unlike other creamy concealers that are thicker and drier, the texture is smooth and melts at the temperature of your fingertips, giving it a texture like chocolate about to melt.
The soft texture gives it a stronger moisturization and does not dry out even when applied to a large area under the eyes, making it an excellent choice for eye concealer in NARS products. It should be noted that wrinkles occasionally appear under the eyes when you first apply makeup, but as the makeup lasts longer, the concealer dissolves with the oil on the skin, and the dry lines disappear, and the makeup is more natural than the concealer. However, when it comes to concealment, this product is not as good as concealer honey, and the stronger moisturizing degree weakens the coverage of the product, making it impossible to cover blemishes at one time, and requires a small amount of makeup to be applied multiple times to consolidate.
Concealer and concealer are different in terms of strengths and flaws, and the specificity of the two is also highlighted. Concealer for the face and concealer for the eye area can also complement each other. The official price of both products is 300 yuan, and users can purchase them for the face and eyes at the same time, or they can be purchased separately. However, concealer honey does not have a high cost performance due to problems such as dry and non-durable. If there are fewer facial blemishes, it is more recommended to buy concealer.
