"The best thing I have ever found to conceal a blemish, and I know a lot of makeup artists agree with me here because I see it recommended on their channels all the time, is the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. I love this because it is super pigmented. They have a ton of great shades and it's not as wet as a lot of concealers, so it builds and then it stays. It is so good for covering an acne spot. There are a lot of days where I'm not wearing a full face of foundation but I still don't want my big acne spot on my face, and what I will do is dip into this concealer with a little flat brush. You can just dip a little bit into the pot, swipe any excess off, and then tap and dot it on any blemishes, redness, or discoloration. If I am wearing foundation, I will do my foundation first, and then if there's any residual redness or brown spot that I can see through my foundation that I don't want to see, I will go in afterward and put this on."

"I go in with concealer and I use this to define my brows. I really, really love the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. It gives you time to blend, especially if you're a beginner and you're worried that your concealer might dry really quickly -- it will give you time to apply precisely and then blend out. If you're not sure what shade to use for this, I recommend going about one to two shades lighter than your actual skin tone. I also apply a lighter shade of the same concealer in my inner corner, and on my outer corner I use the same shade I used to define my brows. Blending everything in creates a very nice gradient and gives my eyeshadow a very nice base."

"This concealer has been life-changing for me in terms of makeup. I use it under my eyes to cover rosacea, to conceal blemishes, but my favorite use is for touch-ups during the day. I carry a travel brush and this concealer with me everyday and it saved me so many times when my base needed to be fixed. The main thing I like about it is it's"

"This is the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer. I feel like it looks great all over the face and because it has a little bit more of that matte finish it actually looks very skin-like. It gives great coverage while melting into the skin. I feel like it gives great coverage and I still want my skin to look virtually flawless without looking heavy."

Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup: Part 1

"Using a softer matte concealer, my personal favorite is the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer. For acne, it's absolutely incredible. The way that this does not have any sort of pearl to it, so it's not going to emphasize any texture on the skin, and the coverage is phenomenal. Plus it blends into the skin so beautifully. It's so, so nice."

"I'm using a little bit of the Nars Soft Matte Concealer to like further spot conceal. I love this one. It just looks airbrushed on the skin. If you just need like a little extra something but you don't want heaviness, this is what I go for."

"I'd go concealer. I'd go NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer, it's in a little jar. Controversial take: I think that's better than the Creamy Concealer. Creamy Concealer is the dog's to everyone, but the one in the pot is so much more superior. You just take a tiny little bit, dab it on a brush, and it looks amazing."

It's in a little jar and you just take a tiny little bit, dab it on a brush, and you just erase anything. It looks amazing."

"I'm using the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Amande, which you can also pick up at Walmart. This is optional, but it really helps your features pop when you use a lighter concealer in the center of your face."
