The bad news would be this in no way a dupe for our beloved Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer. Although a lighter beige would have been perfect. After I apply my foundation and other makeup it looked a ok so, I guess this is good for me. But I’ll stick with it because I felt like the other shades I tried were too peachy and too yellow which I hate in concealer. I felt like the shade was too light but with the lighting in the store it looked perfect. ![]() Why? Because the lights in the store would have made Bette Davis as Baby Jane look like she had smooth, porcelain skin. I was unsure myself but two sales reps came over and said, “Yeah, that’s a good match”. She nodded her head and said, “looks good”. I trust my sis because she’s the first one that will be brutally honest about anything I ask her opinion on be it makeup, clothes, or anything else in life. After trying it on I got confirmation from sister that it looked good, I also got the same from the sales reps. I ended up choosing Creme Brulee because all the other shades were either too peachy or two yellow. Such a rarity when it comes to makeup in stores. Which meant I could actually apply it under my eyes without the fear of gross bacteria and god only knows what else. I was lucky enough to swatch and play with a completely new pot of the concealer in store as no one had touched it. ![]() Even the matte finish didn’t sway me since I had such great success with Tarte Shape Tape Concealer which is also completely matte. The promise of a full-coverage concealer with a soft mousse-like texture sounded very appealing. So, my hope or NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer was that it would be like my beloved Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer which is long gone but never forgotten. I think I kept telling myself that I wanted to swatch in store to see how the shades were looking. It was a random purchase as I planned on buying this online since the launch but for some reason I didn’t get a chance to do so. ![]() I just have to say I’ve watched way more graphic anime and live action movies but for some reason I giggled myself silly through the entire movie.Īnyway, prior to that I hopped in Blue Mercury and grabbed a pot of NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. But it was all worth it for Jamie Dornan and his Batman-like American accent. Which we giggled through like 14 years old boys seeing a pair of boobs for the first time, we all acted very adult-like. I always seem to go against the grain when it comes to liking concealers though.I picked up a pot of the new NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer ($30) at Blue Mercury when I went to see an early preview of Fifty Shades Darker with my sister and friends early last week. If you have a healing (and peeling) blemish this will definitely be a bit dry for that so I would suggest light exfoliation and heavy hydration before that. I think it’s all about using a light hand with this product.Īs for using on blemishes I save this more so for dark spots or flat spots. ![]() I smooth it out with a beauty blender or my fingers and then lightly set and it’s worked wonderfully for me. I always hydrate with the cosrx under eye serum first and let that sink in for 5-10 minutes and then apply a small amount of concealer using a small high density angled brush (the one I use is by japonesque but doesn’t have any identifying numbers on it and might not be sold anymore). As someone who has struggled with under eye concealers for years because of dryness and creasing from wrinkles I actually love this.
