Performance & Real-World Use The NARS Soft Matte Concealer excels in providing targeted correction while maintaining a natural skin finish. Its unique Soft-Focus Smoothing Complex, featuring Optimal Diffusion Powder, actively blurs the look of imperfections rather than just covering them. ### Application As advised by François Nars, apply with your fingertip for the highest level of coverage with the least amount of product. Warm a small amount of product between your fingers or directly dab onto the desired area. Gently pat and blend the edges into your skin. A small amount goes a long way due to its high-performance formula. ### Real-World Applications - Under-Eye Circles: Lightly tap the concealer onto dark circles, blending softly into the surrounding skin to brighten and conceal without caking. - Blemishes & Redness: Directly apply a tiny amount onto the blemish or reddened area. Use a patting motion to build coverage and seamlessly blend the edges. - Hyperpigmentation & Discoloration: For areas like sun spots or uneven skin tone, apply a thin layer and gently tap to blur and unify the complexion. - Blurring Pores: For visible pores, lightly press and pat the product over the area to create a smoother, more even surface. Its oil-free, ultra-lightweight cream formula ensures that even with full coverage, the skin still looks like skin, providing comfortable wear throughout the day without feeling dry or tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup/First Use The NARS Soft Matte Concealer comes in a pot, ready for immediate use. Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized before application for the best blending and finish. ### Compatibility This concealer is an oil-free formula, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including oily and combination skin. Its non-drying properties also make it comfortable for normal to dry skin. The added skin-caring ingredients (peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants) make it a good choice for those concerned with fine lines or overall skin health. ### Care & Storage - To maintain product integrity and prevent drying, always securely close the lid after each use. - Store the concealer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect its creamy consistency. - For hygienic reasons, use clean fingers or a clean brush when applying. Avoid introducing moisture into the pot.
