NARS Creamy Concealer Dupe

The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is one of the most coveted and well-loved concealers out there, and I had been wanting it for ages. It's one of those products that beauty bloggers, vloggers, and experts alike sing their praises to. I finally bought it and it did turn out to be a fantastic product but I'm not sure it was worth the whopping $30 it cost me. 

I thought I'd share with you a dupe of this product, the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, which will cost you only $7, saving you $23 dollars in the process.

I'll show you some swatches and compare the products below.

NARS Creamy Concealer: A Review

A few weeks ago I picked up the NARS Creamy Concealer because I have heard so many amazing things about it. What had stopped me from purchasing it for awhile was that it will cost you $29. That's a lot of money, especially for a college student, so I was a bit hesitant.

But, as I still struggled to cover my under-eye circles, I decided to go ahead and go for this product, because I really wanted to find a product that could get the job done. 

I mentioned I had picked this up in a blog post about a month ago and so I think this is sufficient time to make a pretty informed decision on how good or how bad this product is!

The Verdict

I'm reluctantly happy with this product. I can't completely give it my 100% love because it does have flaws. 

The Good: This does exactly what its name says; it's creamy. I need and adore creamy concealers because they really help to moisturize and cover-up that super sensitive skin underneath your eye. This also covers up those blue and purple under-eye circles really nicely. It's got a cool tint, which works especially well with my skin tone. I also like the color-match. There are a bunch of shade options and mine, Vanilla, works just perfect for me.

Love how this looks in pictures, no blue or purple in sight!

The Bad: The Cost is my #1 complaint with this product. For $30, I feel like I should be blown away by this product, not just pleased with it. I also think that it's easy to find similar products to this. For example, the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is a great dupe for the creamy concealer and it's incredibly cheap in comparison. 

Overall, I really have been loving this. I wear it almost every day, mostly just on my under-eye circles. It's very brightening, cancels out the circles, and keeps my under-eye area moisturized. It's my favorite concealer of the moment!

I would reccommend this, if only you feel like splurging or want to feel a bit more luxurious!

I'll make a post about the Maybelline concealer dupe shortly!

Quick First Impression: Two High-End Concealers

Hey guys! Today's is a quick post with my quick, first impressions of two high-end concealers I've picked up in the past few weeks! 

The two I've picked up are the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade 'Vanilla' and the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in the shade 'Light Sand'. I've heard a lot about both of these concealers, and wanted to check them out at some point. I know that the NARS concealer is meant to be quite creamy, blendable, and cover your darkest of dark circles and that the Tarte concealer would be perfect for creasing under the eyes. These seemed perfect to me because the two biggest problems I have when concealing are dark under-eye circles and under-eye creasing/flakiness. 

This is just my first impression of these products after about a week or so of use for both. First off, I am noticing that the Tarte concealer has diminished some of my creasing under the eye, which is what I have been looking for, but I'm not sure how much I love the formula. As for the NARS concealer, I am loving this so far. It goes on really beautifully and as the name would suggest, it's so so creamy. 

I'm going to keep trying these out and make a future post with an indepth review beacause since these products are so expensive and high-end, I think it's important to do your research and to see if it would fit with your skin needs, skin type, and concealer preference!

Products Used:

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer 'Vanilla' $29

Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer 'Light Sand' $24

Hope everyone's having a great day!
