NARS Soft Matte Concealer — Medium 1 Custard, 6.2 g | Full-Coverage, Hydrating Matte Finish

NARS Soft Matte Concealer in Medium 1 Custard is a high-coverage, soft-focus concealer that blurs imperfections while leaving a natural matte finish.

This compact 6.2 g (0.21 oz) concealer is formulated to hide dark circles, discoloration, spots and blemishes with a light-diffusing, soft matte effect. Enriched with collagen-supporting peptides, hyaluronic acid and vitamins A, C and E, it combines skin-care ingredients with long-wearing pigment for a smoother-looking complexion. The texture balances full coverage with a velvety, non-cakey feel so you can build coverage where needed without sacrificing a natural appearance.

How does this concealer perform for under-eye coverage?

The formulation provides concentrated pigment to camouflage darkness and even tone under the eyes, while a soft-focus finish minimizes the look of fine lines. Lightweight emollients help it sit comfortably on the delicate under-eye area without creasing when set properly.

• High-opacity pigments for targeted coverage
• Soft-matte finish reduces shine and blur imperfections
• Hyaluronic acid adds hydration to prevent dryness and settling

Will the product work on blemishes and discoloration?

Yes — the concealer's concentrated coverage is designed to neutralize discoloration and conceal spots while maintaining a skin-like texture. Its light-diffusing particles soften contrast so coverage looks seamless rather than painted on.

• Buildable formula lets you customize coverage strength
• Light-diffusing effect reduces contrast around treated areas
• Non-greasy matte finish helps maintain concealment throughout the day

What skin-care benefits are included in the formula?

Beyond pigment, the formula contains peptides, hyaluronic acid and vitamins A, C and E to support smoother-looking skin. These ingredients aim to hydrate, condition and protect the skin’s appearance without compromising coverage.

• Peptides support collagen-boosting processes for improved texture
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture for a plumper look
• Vitamins A, C and E provide antioxidant and conditioning support

How should I apply and set this concealer for best results?

Apply a small amount to the targeted area and blend with a fingertip, brush or sponge, layering for more coverage. To prevent creasing and extend wear, lightly set with a translucent powder or a finely milled setting product.

• Use minimal product; tap or stipple to blend for natural coverage
• Layer thinly rather than piling on for a smoother finish
• Set lightly with powder to reduce transfer and creasing

Who is this for: NARS Soft Matte Concealer in Medium 1 Custard is suitable for anyone seeking high-coverage correction with a natural matte appearance — particularly those who want a product that combines concealment with skin-conditioning ingredients. It works well for people addressing under-eye darkness, mild-to-moderate discoloration, and spot coverage while preferring a soft, non-shiny finish. As with any complexion product, selecting the right shade and patch-testing for skin sensitivity is recommended.
