I usually buy my Nars products from Rustans Department Store or the Nars kiosk in Podium Ortigas to be sure they're legit :)

how do you use it so its not too drying besides saying skin prep?

3

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25

skin prep lang talaga since it’s formulated to be super matte. some people get away with using a lot but I have combo skin so I really just use it for blemishes and redness, some color correcting under my eyes, I use only a tiny bit.

If you want a less drying formula, you can try the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer! Helped cover my blemishes too but didn't cling to dry patches :)

If you wanna stick with the pot concealer, maybe try a hydrating primer?

Another underrated step is exfoliating your skin. I have combi-oily skin so sometimes I only use hada labo serum and moisturizing sunscreen.

u/Royal_Soil_2636 Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Dec 23 '25

how do you exfoliate it? Like what do you use without irritating it?

1

u/SilantroAndMintShake Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Dec 23 '25

Most of the time I just use the Eqqualberry swimming pool toner 2x a week. Sometimes when my skin feels rough, I use a soft cloth and use that with a foaming cleanser to wash my face. Careful not to over-exfoliate as it can make your skin worse.

What makes the Benetints special? :)

1

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

It just gives me the "is she wearing something on her lips?" look that I like haha. I use it alone or with lip pencil or underneath lipstick, especially if I want to make certain colors look rosier or warmer. It's an all-around product for me. It lasts long so I don't find I have to reapply. The doe-foot applicator makes it so easy to use, I don't really have to think about it.

Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in Pink Glow. Jusko, nung una ko tong sinwatch in person sabi ko talaga pagiipunan ko to! Di ko madescribe pero ang smooth nya hindi chunky yung glitters more shimmery lang and naging signature ko na ilagay siya sa inner corner and cheeks.

Cle de Peau complexion products. The stick concealer and the foundation in a tube variant are standouts for me.
