Whether you wear a full face of makeup every day without fail, or prefer a natural look with minimal makeup, a good concealer helps your skin look smoother, more even-toned, and free of dark circles and blemishes. However, concealers that provide high coverage tend to have a heavier texture that cakes, and are usually not recommended for the under-eye area. Also, our hot, sweltering weather makes it difficult for concealers to stay put.

What makes the perfect concealer? Women want one that can stay on all day and provides full coverage, but is also lightweight so it doesn’t leave a cakey finish, and won’t sink into the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer, the brand’s highestcoverage concealer, is designed to provide a natural-looking finish. Better yet, the cream is oil-free. It also has Optimal Diffusion Powder to make lines and blemishes look less obvious. Advanced Powders allow it to give you high coverage while making the product feel light on your skin.

Unlike most concealers which are produced in a handful of colours, usually with similar undertones, this nifty one comes in 16 shades so that it can offer as close a match as possible for a wide range of skin colours.

To use, warm up the product between fingertips and glide it over skin. For areas that have a rougher texture – such as skin with acne scars – apply the concealer with a stippling brush to create an airbrushed finish.

Give your complexion an instant glow with the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($46) that offers medium-to-full buildable coverage and a radiant finish. This liquid concealer not only covers blemishes, evens out skin tone and blurs the look of fine lines, it can also double as a highlighter to brighten a dull complexion. In 22 shades.
