NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Best concealer
- Doesn't settle into fine lines
- Works for blemishes and under eyes
- Good shades for light and dark skin tones
- Have to build up for full coverage
- Missing "in-between" shades
Bottom line
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a relatively new formula, yet garners a lot of expert and owner support. They say it brightens and obscures under-eye circles and blurs blemishes with light to moderate coverage. It's also buildable for full coverage. The formula is moisturizing but doesn't feel greasy or settle into fine lines. Some shades are missing, but most reviewers simply wear it under their foundation, which solves that issue.
Performance
Creamy coverage for many skin tones -- but not all. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer offers light to moderate coverage -- but can be layered for opaque coverage -- for any skin discoloration or blemish. It has some lightening ability, making it great for use under the eyes. This concealer has 10 shades, which are good options for light to dark skin tones, according to Begoun. But some users at Sephora.com had a hard time finding a color that matched. They say the gaps in between colors are too wide. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer also offers moisturizing ingredients and is long-lasting.
Feel and smell
Flawless finish for all skin types. Despite NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer's liquid formula and moisturizing ingredients, it works well for all skin types, reviewers say. The concealer receives top praise from reviewers for not settling into fine lines and looking fake. Paula Begoun says it applies easily and blends well. It's fragrance-free, and users don't mention liking or disliking its smell.
