I watched a video a few days ago by Goss Makeup Artist -- he is Youtube famous so I'm sure most of you have heard of him. Anywho, the video was on NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and how it was his new HOLY GRAIL, crease-less, hit concealer especially for under the eyes.

NARS recently launched this new concealer. Anyways, after hearing so, I was so excited--I thought this is the concealer I've been looking for my whole life! Because I believe Goss truly knows his stuff when it comes to makeup. So I went over to a local Sephora and tried this on under my eyes in the colour Ginger (I am Mac NC42). I have pretty dark under eye circles so I cannot go without concealer. The consistency of this concealer was a thick liquid form and blended in great. It comes in a little tube with a wand applicator. 

After trying it on I wanted to give it the test of time so I left it on and continued shopping throughout the mall. After about half an hour I looked in the mirror only to see that it CREASED like heck into the lines under my eyes :( I must say I'm disappointed as I really really wanted to love this. So yup for me its just another one of those concealer-- nothing too great as it creases which is one of the only things I care for when it comes to concealer. I still love Wayne Goss's but feel he might have been wrong on this. It just didn't work for me (for the under-eye area). Below is a picture of my eye with this concealer after about 2-3 hours of wear. As you can see-- it creased a whole lot.

You would perhaps like this if you don't have lines under your eyes.. and don't have a problem with creasing. Besides that I would say it has medium to full coverage, creamy consistency, easy to use and truly brightens the under eye area. I would recommend to get a sample before you decide to buy it :)
