What the gurus are saying

Shade choice does most of the work here: a warm shade like Nougatine is used to cancel out ashy tones, and the creamy, lightweight texture holds up well on acne-prone skin and under the eyes. Radiance is where the praise stops, with the lone nay finding it closer to matte and a bit drier than expected. Tip: a tiny amount of a warm shade underneath your brightening concealer keeps the under-eye from looking ashy.

"Now here's the NARS. Look how nice this made my under eye look. [...] This goes without saying that this round goes to NARS because NARS just has a more vast shade range. [...] On Amazon they have a lot fewer concealer shades, but on their website they have 19 shades. Dark three deep is the deepest shade, and then up from that was deep to tan. [...] Definitely NARS wins this round."

"I don't think it was really a standout concealer to me. It is very creamy and blends actually really beautifully into the skin. [...] It's a little bit drier than I thought it would have been. And it says radiant, right? In terms of it being radiant, I am a little bit like, where? Where's that radiance? Radiance is lacking. [...] It's almost like matte in my eyes. Does that look radiant to you? That doesn't look radiant to me."

"It's really hydrating, and I also use it on my under eye. It doesn't crack or cake up readily and works really well for pimples or post-acne marks. [...] When you match the color correctly to your tone, you don't need multiple different shades. Some people use a lighter shade for their dark circles and a different shade for their pimples, but this one I just use one [...] color: custard. It works really well for my under eyes as well as everything else on my face to correct my complexion."

"I'm using my NARS concealer in the shade nougatine, which is technically just a concealer, but I use it as a color corrector specifically because it has this yellowy peachy tone to it. It's not too dark for my skin tone. I am quite pale, and [...] a lot of color correctors are orange, peach, or red, which is great for deeper skin tones, but even peach can be a little too much for me and I just don't really need it."

"I'm going to mix it with a little bit of this NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, mostly for color. It can be a heavy duty one, but if used well, like over blemishes, you can honestly use this without the tinted moisturizer and it blends really nicely into the skin and it gives really good coverage. It's a full coverage concealer."
