Hello my lovelies,
More recently, I have been investing more money into my make up. Not buying more but investing more money on specific products and moving more into the world of high end brands. As I am getting older, I feel rather than having 100’s of products I’d rather have less but products from brands I adore and love. This is one of those products, I have wanted it for a super long time and I finally went ahead and brought it. Concealer is something I don’t change up much but more recently I have been trying out new concealers, like this one.
For years I have stuck to my Collection – Lasting Perfection Concealer which I absolutely adore I have gone through tube after tube but I thought it was about time I try something else. For me, NARS do pretty well at base products. I have a foundation of their’s and I love it, along with the Laguna bronzer, which is a cult classic and their blushers.
I have heard a lot of people rave about the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and I thought it was about time I tried it out. I brought mine for the Space NK website, see here I was colour matched to Light 2 Vanilla which is actually the perfect match for me.
First off, lets start with the packaging – it’s beautiful. I don’t think I have been disappointed with NARS packaging ever. It’s just so simple, but just looks inviting. I love it, although one slight niggle, the black lid is made of a material that allows everything to stick to it and is a bugger to remove so I always seem to have concealer all over it – whoops.
The applicator is a doe foot applicator which is my personal preference. I find it the easiest to apply onto my skin and I have a lot more control. As the name suggests the concealer is very creamy, it is so soft and is easy to apply and blend into the skin. I use a beauty blender to buff in my concealer but you really could use anything to buff this into the skin and it would work just as great.
I find this really comes into it’s own under my eyes. I suffer with lovely bags under my eyes and this covers them amazingly. I don’t find that it is too cakey which I sometimes find with concealers and as the name suggests it gives a lovely glow. This for me, gave it major brownie points. I do have products that I can use to brighten my under eye area on top of my concealer but who wants to use 2 different products when you can just use one!?
I was a little worried about the radiance on the rest of my face I didn’t think it would work with redness/spots but actually it covers everything up and doesn’t really bring much attention to the area. I do always powder after applying foundation and concealer so I think if I didn’t do this I would certainly be self conscious of everyone looking at areas of my face that I didn’t want them to look at.
Overall, I blooming love this concealer. It is everything I want in a concealer and I think it may of just beaten my Collection Lasting Perfecting Concealer to the top of my list. I can’t actually really find flaws in it. It works with every foundation I own, especially with my NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation see here for a review of another NARS product.
Let me know if you have tried this concealer and your thoughts of how it worked with your skin!

I love reading reviews about this concealer because for me I felt the concealer was too heavy on my skin especially if I had makeup on all day. You give a great review!

Ah no that’s a shame. I find it interesting when people have a completely different experience with a product. It goes to show that everyone’s skin is so different. Thank you for the comment lovely xo

This used to be my holy grail concealer as the shade was just perfect for me, the only reason I don’t use it as often now is that I found a much cheaper alternative. Lovely post.
