NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

When you're a beauty fanatic there are certain products that you will constantly hear people talk about, it's almost like they haunt you in your dreams until you finally cave and add them to your late night Cult Beauty order - tell me I'm not the only one who does this? I've wanted to try NARS makeup for yonks but for some reason whenever I visited one of their counters I never saw anything that really wowed me, however, the Radiant Creamy Concealer is something that has been on my wishlist ever since it launched back in 2013. After years of umming and ahhing I finally purchased it and today I'm going to share my thoughts with you! 

The concealer costs £24 and comes in an impressive 22 shades - I purchased mine in the shade Chantilly which is their lightest offering and is great for fair skin with neutral/yellow undertones. To me, the packaging looks and feels very high quality and I also love that it comes in a tube with a doe-foot applicator as opposed to a pot. When it comes to concealer I need something heavy duty as I have a lot of redness/dark circles/pigmentation etc and this definitely offers a medium-full coverage depending on how you apply it. I personally think this is great for under the eyes but you definitely need a well-moisturised base as the finish is not as radiant as the name suggests. The texture is quite a bit thicker compared to some of my other favourites like the L'Oreal True Match Concealer and requires a bit more speed and effort when blending it into the skin. My favourite way to apply it is with a damp sponge as the moisture thins out the formula and helps it spread beautifully across the skin. I have little to no creasing with this concealer which is pretty rare for me and I find that once set with a powder it stays put and my skin looks flawless all day long. Even though this is something I would save for a night out or days where I just need a bit of extra coverage I now see what all the fuss is about and can confirm it's 100% worth the hype! 

Have you tried this cult concealer? What are your thoughts?
