Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prep Your Skin: Ensure your skin is moisturized and well-prepped. For drier areas, apply a hydrating eye cream or moisturizer beforehand.
Less is More: This concealer offers intense coverage. Begin by dabbing a very small amount directly onto the area you wish to conceal (e.g., dark circles, blemishes, redness).
Blend with Warmth: Using a clean fingertip, gently dab and press the product into the skin. The warmth from your finger helps the product melt and blend seamlessly. Alternatively, a small, dense concealer brush or a damp beauty sponge can also be used for blending.
Targeted Application: Ideal for precise spot concealing or brightening under the eyes. It can be worn alone for a natural look or layered under foundation for amplified coverage.
Build if Needed: If more coverage is desired, apply another thin layer and gently blend, allowing the previous layer to set slightly.
Applying the NARS Soft Matte Concealer is straightforward, designed for ease and efficiency:
Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. For best results, allow moisturizers or primers to fully absorb before applying.
Open the pot and use a clean finger or a small, precise concealer brush to pick up a tiny amount of product. Remember, a little goes a long way.
Gently dab or pat the concealer onto the specific areas needing coverage (e.g., under-eye circles, redness around the nose, blemishes).
Blend outwards softly using your finger (warmth helps), a damp sponge, or a brush until the edges seamlessly disappear into your skin.
This concealer is formulated to be oil-free and suitable for all skin types, particularly beneficial for combination to oily skin due to its matte finish. Its non-cakey, non-settling formula makes it compatible with most foundations, whether liquid, cream, or powder. It's also gentle enough for use in delicate areas like under the eyes.
To ensure the longevity and efficacy of your NARS Soft Matte Concealer:
Secure the Lid: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed immediately after each use. This prevents the cream from drying out and maintains its creamy consistency.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, use clean fingers or a clean brush each time you apply the product. Avoid dipping dirty tools into the pot.
Expiration: Like all cosmetics, this product has an approximate shelf life after opening, typically indicated by a 'PAO' (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging. Adhere to this guideline for optimal performance and safety. Discontinue use if you notice any changes in texture, smell, or if skin irritation occurs.
