Applied my make up at 7am and didn’t budge until I washed it off at 7pm, would have definitely lasted longer! I colour matched on the website and the tool was so accurate; mine is a perfect match."

Don’t Forget to Conceal
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Using a concealer is the most effective way to cover imperfections and help give your glowy, glass-makeup look a seamless finish. For ultimate coverage, apply the iconic Radiant Creamy Concealer with a brush using small amounts to erase dark circles and even your skin tone. Enriched with skin-loving ingredients, there's a reason this concealer was one of our top 50 most searched products in 2024.
“Love this concealer. Have been using for years. Shade Vanilla is the perfect brightening under-eye shade and custard is the perfect spot cover-up for me. The concealer is thick but creamy and blendableand high coverage. Sits well over other products and doesn’t crease under the eyes. Will always re-purchase. A staple in my makeup bag!”
From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
