According to Nars.com, their Radiant Creamy Concealer is the #1 concealer in the U.S. and one is sold every five seconds. I'm not sure when this claim was originally made, but working at both Ulta and now Sephora we would definitely sell some, but I certainly wouldn't say it was the most popular concealer we had.....This bad boy has been around for ages and has been a staple in a lot of peoples routines for years. After hearing about this for years, I finally tried it. Hearing all those claims, I had very high hopes and was honestly a bit disappointed. It wasn't the worst concealer I'd ever tried, but I don't think it lived up to the hype. At first application, it looks beautiful on the skin and does a great job of covering dark circles as well as blemishes. However, within a few hours it starts to crease VERY badly. I ended up using the whole tube trying so hard to make it work. I tried different foundations underneath, using and not using an eye cream to prep, blending with a sponge vs. a brush. However, I got the same result each time. As I'm getting older, my under eye bags and crows feet are slowly getting more prominent and this product actually emphasized that. After trying so many concealers, I don't think I'll be using this one again because I know theres better out there. Also, another big issue I have with this is the applicator. For Nars being such a prestigious makeup line, the component of this product feels incredibly cheap. The sponge on the wand is very thin that you can feel the plastic underneath which is not ideal for such a sensitive area like the undereyes. Its also such a small sponge you have to go into the tube several times to get the right amount of product. Overall, I wasn't very impressed by this. Nars is such an incredible brand and I enjoy everything else I've tried from them, but this one just did not work for me.
