Stop the presses because Nars are launching their brand new concealer in January 2017. The news has slowly been circulating and details of this new product are slowly coming to light. The new concealer is going to be called the Soft Matte Complete Concealer ($30) and will be available in a total of 16 shades. I imagine as time goes on Nars will add further colours to the line, like they did with their groundbreaking Radiant Creamy Concealer. Just from the picture above the new product reminds me a lot of the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer, although surely nothing can be as pigmented as that! I have tried to find out all I can and will add to this post as more details emerge.

I just paused midway through a Carli Bybel tutorial when she introduced a brand spanking new concealer from Nars. Yes Nars. The same Nars that created the much raved about Radiant Creamy Concealer are releasing a new concealer in January 2017. This concealer however is very different. Not only does it not come in a tube with a wand applicator but it is housed in a pot with a screw-top lid (not my favourite packaging) and it is claimed doesn't need to be set with powder. Shut the front door. The shade range of the new Soft Matte Complete Concealer pots correspond conveniently to the Radiant Creamy Concealer range making it easy for fans of their previous concealer to pick up and try out a new one. There isn't too much information on the new concealer available right now, but like I said I paused the Carli video so I could do some research and find out what's the tea. Keep reading.

This high coverage matte concealer is supposed to be a lightweight formula with amazing coverage that won't settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It will contain hyaluronic acid to keep the skin looking plump and fresh, not dry and cakey. It is also said to have built-in powders and a totally matte, but not dry, finish, meaning you can skip the powder. Although, for me, setting my face is a force of habit so I don't know if I will be able to do that.

It sounds like a pot of dreams and will be available to purchase from January 1st for $30 on the Nars website. From what I have read it sounds like a small but mighty product. A great addition to your handbag as you can pat a little on as and when you need it throughout the day. I am curious to see how long lasting it is and Carli Bybel, herself, did say that it wasn't as thick as the Radiant Creamy Concealer and it looks full coverage in the tutorial. The look she used it in is pictured below and I will link the actual tutorial in the caption so you can have a look yourself. It's a beautiful look.
