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. Which we giggled through like 14 years old boys seeing a pair of boobs for the first time, we all acted very adult-like. But it was all worth it for Jamie Dornan and his Batman-like American accent. 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.
Anyway, prior to that I hopped in Blue Mercury and grabbed a pot of NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. 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 think I kept telling myself that I wanted to swatch in store to see how the shades were looking. Here’s my thoughts and review.

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. The promise of a full-coverage concealer with a soft mousse-like texture sounded very appealing. Even the matte finish didn’t sway me since I had such great success with Tarte Shape Tape Concealer which is also completely matte.
I was lucky enough to swatch and play with a completely new pot of the concealer in store as no one had touched it. Which meant I could actually apply it under my eyes without the fear...
