NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

Editor's Take
NARS gets the creamy-radiant trick right with silicone slip, Mica, and Tin Oxide, but the environmental score is pure conventional counter makeup.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.2 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.8 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 6.4 / 10
- Sustainability: 5.9 / 10
The Verdict
On skin, this is why the tube has stayed famous: the water-in-silicone base spreads thin, grips pigment evenly, and keeps coverage from looking chalky. Mica and Tin Oxide give the radiance some real optical help, while Glycerin keeps the creamy feel from turning dry. The trade-off is familiar NARS: Dimethicone, silicone elastomers, petrochemical slip, Phenoxyethanol, and EDTA keep it out of clean-beauty territory and pull sustainability down. Worth it for polished, long-wear under-eye and spot coverage, with no green halo attached.
