Review: NARS Concealer Duo

[Mehlwurm16]

You know what? I like your video, especially because you seem down-to-earth and generally pleasant. There's one thing, though, that got me off to a kind of bad start to this video, namely the preface that says, "Don't like it? Don't watch it."

[katrinacg]

That's it I'm getting this, I have soo much trouble finding my exact shade, this is actually a good deal since if u buy two separate colors just to get ur skin tone it would cost alot, and having them in one is much better, plus this you can use anywhere on ur face

[MakeupByAm0re]

Can you do a video on your nars collection? (:

[ecopink17]

great review! (: do you think this will work for oily skin? also... would this be a good shade for mac NW15-20 ? (:

thanks! btw.. I love your laugh hahaha

[BeautieCandy]

@ecopink17

ya its good for oily skin and hot summer days. for nw15-20 i think "custard" is your shade since i'm nw20 myself! =)

[Hellokelsey99]

ur so funny!!..lol Great Review!

[1000swatches]

i like the bo-ing concealer by benefit too - but the darkest shade is now too light for me in summer.

[chadgoodell]

I know sales people r very rude!! Love your vids your comical!

[discodisco]

i agree with the sales associates

They were snobby until i pulled out my wallet to pay

pshhh

[arebelangel]

LOL i love how you said that the barney's people are stuck up and they shouldn't be because they are in retail.

I hate shopping in barney's for that exact reason.

[depaull]

Thanks so much for the tip.

I love your reviews, its honest and informative, I'm thankful for people like you when it comes time for beauty education. I love NARS and I have been using NARS since I was a teen, now I am in my later years, LOL

[gcho91]

hi! i bought this at sephora today because the saleswoman recommended it to me and it seemed to work well. whats the best way to blend this - brush? finger? q-tip? the woman used one of those disposable eyeshadow applicator thing. but she almost dragged it around my dark circles which is bad because that area is sensitive.

[pinkiecharm]

@gcho91 I prefer using my finger mainly because I find it easier to blend when dealing with creams.

[macaahhoolick]

i dont find that this concealer is that opaque. It does have good coverage but not opaque and it is not long lasting.

[CaraLienCerulean]

This duo in Custard and Ginger is currently $10 at Sephora. Get it while you can! I grabbed 4 because it's my shade... I have the original stick version in Ginger and it works really well. Now I have a to go version.

[Tube69Baby]

I have this duo and I like it!

[Tube69Baby]

I love this concealer! One of my favorites! Very smooth ♥

[tristaneAlexandria]

I love the Nars concealer stick.

[dazzlelightmac1]

are u a schoolteacher ? i love love your make up tutorials

[gigglesmansonn]

omg.

YESSSS..

I'm *SO* glad you did this.

[scrumptiouzz]

what's your favorite concealer?

[tangiimango]

thanks pinkiecharm! I bought this after watching your review and I love it. I have oily skin and I use this concealer for my red spots and blemishes, not for under the eyes because I don't have dark under eye circles. It stays put all day and blends in so well.

[CatSingingzoo]

im new to concealer and I don't know which one i should get! NARS, Laura Mercier secret camouflage or MAC studio sculpt

[DYLAN3264]

i tried this duo..was a return...went back to laura mercier ...one of my fav...try that...i am very very dry ...but i also use my absolute favorite moisturizer by philosophy hope in a jar for sensitive skin...love it !!! it helped my skin alot!!!!

[holly1324]

you look really pretty in this video! You always do, but there is something a little different in this one.

[jennnixo]

LOL

at barneys bein stuck up

[XXJANRAYXX]

I LOVE YOUR SKIN !!! IM JEALOUS

[vLizzziev]

Have you done a review for the other concealer by Benefit that you mentioned here that works really well with under eye circle coverage? I can't seem to find a review of that one... If you haven't done a review, can you make one, please?

[enj0ythesiIence]

OMG I say that all the time about retail people!!! "HELLO, YOU'RE RETAIL!" :D Little do they know they make less than me yet they're older.

THANK YOU for saying that. I'd rate this 5 stars just for that if it wasn't disabled!

[lcadez]

I have the same problem with cream concealers. I can't use them because my skin is SO, SO dry!

[joycean01]

have you tried mufe lift concealer or bobbi brown correcter? if so how does this compare?

[firepuppy13]

Ooh pretty bronzy nails!

What's on 'em?

[Nenakhmer]

My face is oilly.. does that mean I need a powder concealer for summer? could anyone tell me plz.. thanks:)

[jnnygurl]

No. it doesn't, but creams should be set with a dusting of ppowder anyway.

Try using cream if that is what you usually use and it may work fine.

[xthexcolorxredx]

I like how even though you don't prefer creme concealers, you still give an honest, unbiased review. Every other guru I watch, if it doesn't work for their skin (ie, wrong consistency or shade), they can't find anything good to say about it.

[elDesaparecida]

Which liquid concealers do you recommend? I too have very fair and dry skin and have always had a problem finding the right shades and consistencies for my skin. Right now I'm using a liquid foundation under my eyes - a suggestion from a MUA, it's working ok but i'd still like something better.... any suggestions are appreciated!!

[jlynn1455]

i would e-mail you if i could. i can't find my own e-mail.

I would like to hear somthing on Almay products it's all i can use and i can't find many bright colors, or how can mix ones to change them up. any ideas?

[mimi42093]

I always love your background music and I always have them in my iTunes. This was Spice Girls....right.

[ritzbitz1330]

thank you for the review and as always i love your personal comments.... anyone in retail come on honestly is it part of the job to be snobby i dont think so lol

also have you stated which liquid concealors you prefer since boing is pretty much a cream

[tthuy]

i love your giggle hehe =)

[lovevsabsence]

what lip are you wearing? =))

[pinkiecharm]

lovevsabsence: I think it was MAC's Sweetie Lipstick.

[lovevsabsence]

thank you! i'll check it out. :D looks like a perfect pink~

[pinkiecharm]

lovevsabsence: It's a gorgeous color but in the video much of had worn off. It's much deeper but still wearable. It's one of my favorite lippies of all time. :)

[juicyprincess4]

great review!

[SeaSickPeaches]

For a light palette I thought the honey looked pretty dark, does it come in lighter colors?

[pinkiecharm]

SeaSickPeaches: As I said in the video, this is the duo for fair skin. It's the lightest of the three offered.

[misslummy]

I've been to Barney's in Seattle not too long ago and i agree...the sales clerks are SO pretentious!! But, it's like that where you go, neiman marcus and saks especially *sigh* The caveat is I do enjoy window shopping at those sort of shops tho!

[JustSophiaL]

I never understand why makeup companys call cream colours vanilla. am i missing something here cos i thought vanilla was black/brown? u no the vanilla pods? is that the vanilla they r refering to?

[lovelylovelymin]

which product did you use for your eyeline???

[JordanMayTwigs]

Have you ever used the NARS Cream Shadows??

I am looking to swap mine out.

Because I don't like that too much.

If you are looking for any let me know.

And I will swap with you for them!!

JordanMayTwigs

[SaraAnna1104]

"hello? you're retail...why are you so snobby?" LMAO AMEN SISTER!

[GlitterieGlamGal74]

YOU ARE AN AMAZING GURU!!!!! thank you for every single review and video you do. You are the reason i made an account, because i wanted to subcribe to your videos. Thank you. :)

[pinkbubbles69]

wow thanks, u r so good at doing reviews :)

[tiinar0cks]

yur great! & gorgeous!

keep up the amazingg workk giirl!

[admiralkathryn]

"it comes packaged like all the other ners cosmetics"

ROFLLLLL

[mollymoo710]

hey lovely

i have a request

could you do a review on the tarte cheek stains pwease

thanks doll

[greenteapalace]

she has

[thelilacghost]

"Hello? You're retail. Why are you so snobby?" LMAO

[ktdetails]

have you tried blending out the concealer with a MAC 224 --- since I saw pixiwoo doing that with Bobbi Brown concealer - that's what I use to put on bobbi brown concealer, or laura mercier concealer - or any concealer - it makes the application of any product cream product flawless. it might help with the creasing too - i've got dry skin too - especially around the eyes.

[ahdorediorxo]

7:30, lol i was going to go and pause this video to get something to drink, and then i was like thats a funny face!lol :)

[TheBeautyofVanity]

Just a tip to make it more workable:

Try swirling the tip of a flat concealer blush in the product really fast and it will melt, get gooey and spread really nicely. It seems to crease less this way too. I just use a cheap-o elf brush and finish blending with a warmed finger tip. Have you tried benefit "hello flawless"? I saw it and though you would be interested in it for yourself if only for trying out. Also the"powderflauge" looks neat..But its not new. Thanks for the review ! ♪♫☼♫♪

[pinkiecharm]

TheBeautyofVanity: I've tried using concealer brushes with concealers but they don't work well with my skin, I think because of how dry it is.

Thanks though. :)

[xevanesco]

I love how we can hear your twirl.

[schroppieee]

i LOVE nars coompacts

i wished i could afford them :(

[wreckery]

I totally agree about snobby retail sales assistants. It's like, don't try to sell me a $25 eyeshadow and act as if you're doing ME a favour. ;)

[Wivanunu]

Is the darker peachy (honey) good for undereye? Eve Pearl insists in peachy tones for undereye circles......and her videos really show that it works. Do you know anything about her dual concealor compacts thingys? I just know she's sooo expensive! I've watched some of her makeovers on Enkore's channel.

[pinkiecharm]

Wivanunu: Yes the Honey is good for under the eye. That is what I use it for, which I thought I mentioned in the video. :)

I know nothing about Eve Pearl's line.

[Wivanunu]

Oh, I thought you said you used the lighter one under your eyes....or maybe that one was called honey....I don't know....I had taken an Ambien so I could sleep. You're just lucky I didn' t ask you if you like cheeseburgers. I'm a fruitloop on ambien!

[Wivanunu]

I'm so sick of dry patches on my skin..and then for a week one part will get oily and I'll get a crappy zit...and then the rest of my skin will be dry.

Anyone have a good idea for an intense night cream and a wonderful day cream? I have texture issues!!!!!!!!!

Also, your skin looks beautiful in this video! :)

[Cellopink1]

Clinique has awesome creams. Lil bit expensive tho but they are really good. Maybe check website or go to a store that sells Clinique and ask the person there to help you out with your skin :) + is animal cruelty free.

[NatalieSchmeichel]

You look so pretty in this video. Very glowy!

[LilMermaidFairy]

what foundation do you wear? your skin always looks so great!

[pinkiecharm]

LilMermaidFairy: Thank you. :) I think I was wearing Stila's Illuminating Foundation in 20 Watts.

[oSuperDaphneo]

I especially like the nars packaging. The single eyeshadows are really nice because I can never find single shadows anywhere else except...covergirl? And they don't stick a useless sponge tip applicator in there which I always end up throwing out since they stink.

[LaGitana87]

if by single eyeshadows you mean eyeshadow that is sold in individual colors and not in palettes then MAC sells single eyeshadows. Urban Decay sells single eyeshadows. Smashbox sells single eyeshadows. BE sells single eyeshadows and of course Stila sells individual pans.

[oSuperDaphneo]

They don't have mirrors though

[BooBunny27]

No sh&t lol, I went to a Chanel counter and they were soo rude i'm like wow, im not the one working here no offense but you dont own Chanel or Nars LOL ...some people...

[jdeanda7]

Totally agree with you. "your in retail" why are they stuck up? Im shopping here, not you. They probably cant afford to buy where they work!!! LOL LOL

[CHAOTICLOVE212]

Lol, so true!

[traceydl]

Thanks for the review Irene. I have the same problem with dry skin and cream concealers. Very frustrating.

[ContortedThoughts]

if you want a really good undereye concealer try the lancome waterproof undereye concealer. better than nars from my experience.

[ditzyblonde711]

do you prefer benefit boing over benefit erase paste, or have you tried erase paste? thats what i currently use and have thought of trying boing. thanks!

[pinkiecharm]

ditzyblonde711: I definitely prefer Boi-ing over Erase Paste.

[laurajean396]

haha.. retail... snobbY!! hahahha

[SamSqueezex3]

thanks so much for this review :D i need to get a good concealer because i lost my benefit one :/

[iMishai]

try warming the concealer up with a blow dryer or lighter for a few seconds so its creamy and easier to blend

[pinkiecharm]

iMishai: The issue isn't that it's hard to blend but more the consistency compared to a liquid. That and I'd really rather not melt my $30 concealer. *lol*

[sunsetblvd20]

Why is it exactly that some retail people are all stuck up? I hate that! My Macy's is the same way....I hate going in there.

[aznhunny430]

Oh and you kept saying you liked liquid concealers better for dry skin, I have the same problem especially with the creasing under my eyes so I was just wondering what your favorite liquid concealer is? Thanks for all the reviews!

[aznhunny430]

Can you do a review on the Ben Nye Concealer wheel?? Thank you

[redkissmassacre]

do you have the MUFE or ben eye concealer palette?

[JustMeAlyssa00]

I agree with the liquid concealer. It just makes your blemishes all flaky! I think i will try this though! Thanks for the video! I appriciate it.

[stefchris34]

omigosh! i'm sooo excited! like i saw this video and i heard you speak my username and i was like omigosh, pinkiecharm said my name!!!! thank you sooooooooo much!

[orilovesyou]

can u recommend a good salmon color concealer?? im using b.brown's corrector but it creases so awful :(

[jmdlovesjf]

eve pearls !!

[freewing78]

thanks for the review~love it as usually~

[rraszipovits]

i couldn't agree more with how snobby the anchor store workers are. I think they only get commishion. you would think that they would make themselves more approchable to make the sale.

[totorosan428]

hey irene i use the lemonade my benefit as a concealer and its a cream which is also hard to blend in my dry skin, so what i do is add a little bit of my moisturizer on the back of my hand and mix it with the concealer to get a good consistency and beldn it in my eye area. yeap :) love your reviews man keep them coming please

[pinkiecharm]

totorosan428: Oh I've tried that but I still have problems.

[CourtCosmetics]

sales people are so snotty! your nails loook good! what color do you have on them?

[pinkiecharm]

CourtCosmetics: To be honest, I don't remember. *lol* All I can remember is that it's an OPI color (yea I know, lots of help there).

[BarbieBia]

Could you do a review on the new Coastal Scents Lip Smacks in Strut on Nude or Carlotta? Or maybe on their Honey Matte foundation? Thanks and awesome review.~

[BarbieBia]

Honey Matte or Honey Glow. Any of their foundation actually. I've been looking everywhere and can't find any!

[pinkiecharm]

BarbieBia: I'm sorry but I don't purchase from Coastal Scents.

[peytonboo123]

yayy! good choice!

[lolalaurentina]

I don't mean to pry, but why?

Wow.

There's no other way to phrase that...

[pinkiecharm]

lolalaurentina: I have issue with the way they do business and how they treat their customers.

[lolalaurentina]

Really?

Hmmm...well, at least you're honest!

:)

thanks!

[BarbieBia]

Aw, I thought you'd really like the new glosses too. Oh well. ;P

[orilovesyou]

really! why? i purchased this medium and it turned my eye shawdos to mush... i dont know so ya lol.. well now with this experience im probably not going to purchase from them again :)

[BrandyC83]

I've been speculating that CS pays YouTubers to post tutorials using their products (or something along those lines). If I'm correct, and this is the reason you don't buy from them, then good for you! Your reviews always seem so honest and that's why I watch them. If I'm wrong about CS, then forget everything I just said other than that I love your vids! :)

[pinkiecharm]

BrandyC83: No that isn't why but I've heard that rumor too and as far as I know it's just that, a rumor.

As I mentioned above, I have issues with the way they do business and in how they treat some of their customers.

Thanks. :)

[maggsmakeup]

you're so right! those salespeople are sooooo rude.

[princessrhondie]

i love your reviews....i never go to sephora without checking your videos first! thank you thank you.

[XFionaX118]

yeeeh second person to leave a comment woop woop. Love your hauls the bigger the better

XxXxXx

[fionaman]

OMG I totally agree with you on how sales people in higher end department stores are snobby when they are in retail. When I had to exchange something at Holt Renfrew (In Canada, it is the equivalent of Barney's), the NARS sales lady basically didn't even want to serve me. When she recommended me the concealer duo, I asked to see the ingredient list and she just splattered it on me without my consent. Needless to say, I have a bad impression of it. Thanks for all your reviews :D

[danimeilen]

thanks very good review :]

[margaretdavis009]

cool cool!

[Victorian9322]

thanks for the review!

[nowaycup]

yeayy

[MrsAliceCullen]

Yay, I've been waiting for this review! Great review. =]

[MaggieMassacrexx]

Thanks for the review Irene, :)
