Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer

Every make-up bag needs two concealers: one for dark shadows, and one for imperfections (age spots, red veins, pores, etc.) And this is going straight into ours: a highly concealing concealer (they aren’t all, you know!), which conceals very effectively without having to be caked on. Hyaluronic acid and peptides make for a smooth texture – and the appearance isn’t completely flat (which ironically can draw attention to problem areas), but ‘velvety’.

What truly distinguishes this, however, is the amazing shade range – from Chantilly (perfect for the very palest skins) through to Dark Coffee (which has a slightly olive undertone), there are 16 shades altogether – way, way, way, way, way more than the usual spectrum.

And we’d like to give 16 cheers, for that alone.
