Nars Radiant Concealer VS Maybelline Fit Me Concealer | Review

Today I am going to be sharing my thoughts on the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I will be reviewing both products and then at the end I will tell you which one I prefer.

The first concealer of these two that I used was the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer. Like most of the products I talk about, I was sucked in to the YouTube vortex of product doom when basically everyone on YT was talking about the Nars concealer. So I went to my neighborhood Sephora and picked up the concealer in the shade vanilla.
First thing I didn't like was the price. This concealer costs $28, and that is for .22 oz of product. How much product is that you ask? A LITTLE BIT, that's how much!

So clearly this product is a high end product, and you're basically paying for the name and pretty packaging. I was expecting this concealer to be amazingggg! I was not disappointed. I really loved this concealer. It was the perfect consistency for covering dark circles and even using it as a cream highlight. It blends out really well, with a sponge or a brush or just your fingers. Truly, it is a very nice concealer.

I had also heard a lot about the Maybelline Fit Me concealer, and that this was a great dupe for the Nars concealer.
In one of my last visits to the drugstore, I decided to give the Maybelline concealer a chance. I really wanted to see for myself if it was really comparable to the Nars concealer.
Since these are only $7.29 (for .23 oz) I got the 3 lightest shades that were available ( 10, 15 and 20.)
So even buying 3 of these concealers I didn't reach the $28 price for only one of the Nars concealers.

These concealers, I must say, were a surprise. As they are drugstore products I honestly was not expecting a lot from them. But I ended up really loving these concealers. I most often use the number 20, that is about 2-3 shades lighter than my natural skin tone. I love the opacity of these concealers. It does a great job of covering my dark circles, highlighting and I even use it to conceal spots. It blends out so nice, it doesn't disappear after blending it. It really brightens up the under eye area and makes the overall base look amazing. I recently talked about this concealer in my September Favorites video that is up on my YouTube.

The Maybelline Fit Me concealer is definitely an amazing dupe for the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer. But It's also just a great concealer in general. Both of these are super comparable. I would say that the Maybelline concealer is the winner because of how affordable it is. You can buy about 4 of these concealers for the price of one of the Nars concealers.
So why spend all that money on a product if there is one that is just as good for a quarter of the price!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer Review

I have found my Holy Grail Concealer!!!!!!

But I'm getting ahead of myself, lets start from the top...

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my blog! I am so excited about today's post, because I am going to be talking about the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.

I have been completely obsessed with this concealer for the past few months. And I have not been able to put it down. I have had to repurchase it already 4 times. I love it that much! I even used it as a foundation for a while. It is really an amazing product and I wanted to share it with you!

I picked this concealer up at Sephora and it retails for $29. I am in the shade "Custard." They do have a pretty good color range, and I really like that they have yellow and pink tones. The color Custard has a more yellow undertone to it, which goes very well with my olive (yellow) undertones in my skin.

Honestly the price was the only reason it took me this long to finally commit and buy it. But I have to say that the price is worth the product. I do wish there was a little more product, but that's life.

So moving on, this concealer has been a life changer for me. I am a sufferer of the "designer eye-bags" and it has been a struggle trying to find a product that concealed and brightened my under-eye area.
I have had to deal with the concealers that last only like 4 hours and then they magically disappear off my face. Also the concealers that just sink into my fine lines and this makes the fine lines look like giant wrinkles, come on, I'm only 22! We can't have that.

But like I said, when I tried the Radiant Creamy Concealer, I was in concealer heaven! The concealer is very opaque, but not cakey. We never want cake-face. The concealer still feels light weight, like I have barely any on, which is awesome if I want to layer it on. The color is really similar to my winter skin tone but it's still really lightening under the eyes. Which makes me one happy girl.

The wear on this concealer is amazing! I apply the concealer in the morning when I am getting ready for work, and by the time I'm removing my makeup at 10pm, this concealer is still there! It has lasted me up to 10 hours,

One thing I have noticed is that if I don't properly set the concealer under my eyes, it can crease a tiny bit in my fine line. An easy way to get rid of this crease is to apply a little powder over top and it takes away the crease while not removing any more of the concealer.

At one point I even used this concealer all over my face as a foundation. I think it even works better then other foundations. It is more pigmented so it covers problem areas much better. I also loved that I only needed one layer only on problem spots and that was enough. As opposed to using a regular foundation and then applying a concealer over that.

I would recommend this product to anyone that has darker under-eye circles or if you have acne scar, hyper-pigmentation, or any type of discoloration. This concealer will be amazing! Even if you have pretty good skin, you can use this product only where it is needed and it will blend in perfectly with your skin.
This concealer for me is a 9 out of 10. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because I think for $29 we should get much more product than what is in the little tube.

That's it for today's post, I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks for checking out my blog!
