This was a disappointment as a concealer of any sort, even sheering it out with eye cream. I now only use it for special events as a nose contour, with a skinny smudge of this down my nose bridge and brown e/s on either side of it.

Lightweight product with good coverage around the eye area. I live in a hot and humid climate so perfect, but when I visit the uk, it can be on the dry side and need extra eye cream to blend in. Love the colour as I have nc40 skin and it's a shade lighter as it should be with a concealer. Very expensive product but totally worth it.

I have very dark circles under my eyes and a small case of crows feet when I smile..This concealer gives me just enough coverage to conceal the dark circles as well as any breakouts or imperfections. It doesn't crease into my crows feet and blends easily. I am a tanning consultant so I usually have some colour to my face, and "ginger" is a perfect match. I will continue to buy this and use daily!

I bought this concealer in the Custard/Ginger duo and man do I love it! It covers my blemishes perfectly and evens my skin out so well that I don't even feel the need to put foundation on top.
I don't feel like the consistency is too thick or thin, and it doesn't cake up. I find the custard shade in the duo great for brightening up my under eye area and the ginger is perfect for my NC40 skin.
All in all the perfect concealer, I'll definitely be repurchasing this one!

I love this product. This is the color I use when I am tan. I never used to be able to use dry concealers until I changed my foundation, but now that I use a moister formula on my face I really appreciate this product. Creamy concealers just slide right off my face and into my smile wrinkles. This product works perfectly. I swipe it on under my eyes, pat the edges with my fingertip to blend, and it stays put all day.

Really dissapointed with this product. i bought the duo concealers of ginger and custard but custard is definately more my colour. Im NC20. However it doesnt provide much coverage which i think is the main reason for my dissapointment. Also i find it a little greasier than mac, although my skins normal/dry sometimes, i definately like the matte look. Also i hate the fact that it creases! it looks ridiculous after ive left it on for over 20minutes even with setting powder. im definately not a fan of this product and i think its overpriced for the quality of it and also the amount you get in the duo. if you were to buy the concealer i think you would be best getting the seperate shades as it looks as if you get a whole lot more than you do in the duo's, however from looking at the shades available i think it would be hard to find the right one as they are very limited. I think the only good thing i could say about this, is that it is the perfect shade for me and that i like the nars packaging and also that it has a mirror inside which makes it easier when travelling with it.

I liked this concealer. I loved the "lipstick tube" packaging, texture, pigmentation. Not so much the price. Covers blemishes/redness perfectly. I mostly needed an under eye concealer and unfortunately it fell a bit short. Caked into fine lines, didn't last long even with moderate use. Wouldn't repurchase.

I really like this concealer it matches my currently tan olive skin tone. It's really creamy and very easy to blend. Best concealer I've used would recommend

I love this concealer (in ginger) for redness or blemishes. Also, a thin layer, blended out, can be used as foundation. Love it for that. The color range is not amazing... but acceptable. NOT for the undereye area.

Pros: Lovely packaging, great colour match, has vitamin E, conceals well under the eyes and spots, does not "ball up"

Cons: Expensive (over 20 dollars cnd), drying, can exagerate fine lines, creases

I have very dry skin and even though I used my eye cream, throughout the day this felt drying and had a 'cracked' looked to it. I think it would be best on oil skin.

This is my concealer for when I am tan. I love it. Flawless application. I especially love the packaging, you definitely get what you pay for when you buy Nars products!

I love this concealer. It covers well yet it doesn't look cakey or too much on my face, unlike alot of the mac concealer. I use it on my dark spots and not soo much under my eyes cuz i dont have a problem with dark circles. The price for it is really good considering its a nars product. I will continue to purchase this. I love this stuff..=)

I got the Custard/Ginger duo at Sephora on sale - I blend the two colors and use it under my eyes, it is the perfect color for my olive skin tone. I would buy it again if I found it on sale but I can't afford the full price - plus, I think they discontinued the duo and the two colors work really well together but separately are either too pale or too dark. Still, I love using this as part of my daily makeup routine and am dreading when it runs out!

This is the perfect colour and seems to be fairly universal. It has a nice texture, and if you blend it with your daily facial moisturizer, it goes on even nicer. Love this colour. I just didn't like how fast I used it up, and I didn't use it everyday b/c of how expensive it was. That's the other reason I probably won't buy it again - very expensive. But the quality of the stick was great. You get what you pay for I guess!

The color and consistency are perfect so I really wanted this one to work for me. I'm very disappointed. For me, a good concealer will crease about half way through the day - not half way through my make-up routine! It created a crease immediately! In addition, it did not seem to blend into my skin very well. It has a very strange finish. Stay away from this one.

As most people did on this review, got this concealer at a steal. Only for ten dollars! When I got the Sephora email about this I was hellbent on getting it. Ten dollars for a high end concealer is nothing, especially a NARS concealer. So of course when I got it I was ecstatic because I have horrid bags under my eyes and have been looking for my holy grail product for ages. Unfortunately this did not end my search. This concealer is fantastic because it has both a side for dark circles and blemishes. It did settle into the lines under my eyes and I found the colors to be off for me. My bags were not completely covered. But this is a decent product and will use it all up. I will not be purchasing this again because it was a so-so product and its way too overpriced. Right now in Sephora it's thirty dollars and to me, it's not worth it. If they have do a sale on that product again I will buy, but not for that price.

I bought this Custard/Ginger duo at Sephora for $10. Ginger doesn't cover my blemishes, I usually have to go over few times. I use Custard for under eye concealing but not creamy enough. It's just ok, not a horrible product since it was only $10, would not purchase again.

Like others, I bought this when Sephora was clearing out its Ginger/Custard duos. Ginger is actually a little orange/dark for me, but it blends in perfectly with my forehead, which is a little darker than the rest of my face, for some reason.

The dry consistency means that the concealer stays on all day--I don't need to touch up at all. However, it also accentuates my pores. I always feel like I need to go over the concealer with a dab of moisturizer, which then makes me worry about oxidization/it all sliding off.

In all, it's not a bad concealer. It's as pigmented as anything Nars makes is, it's long lasting, and it comes in a beautiful little compact. I just wish the formula were more creamy.

I also got the Custard/Ginger duo concealer for $10 at Sephora. Ginger is too dark to use under my eyes or on blemishes, but I just started using it under my cheekbones for some contour, and it works great! The shadowing illusion it gives me is very natural yet noticeable. Not sure if I'd buy Ginger on its own, but I'd definitely get another duo if it were on sale again!

I got the duo concealer in custard ginger for 10$ at sephora, and the colors match okay but a bit too yellow for my skin. When applied under the eyes it appears chalky, and if your skin is dry the concealer will cake up. Sometimes i have to mix the concealer witha but of face lotion to make it less thick. The coverage is okay, but would not buy this product if it was for full price. I find that it is not as creamy as it claims to be. Not bad for 10 dollars tho.
