veuvet It's so true! I thought I had the best idea for a video, I'm all ready to film, then yesterday I searched it to see if it had been done and it is already a challenge (aka it's already a whole thing!) 🤣
i think u will like my videos too:))
check out my channel im gonna cry out loud;_; *happily*
Finally a person who applies normal amount of concealer!!! Everyone else just pun on so much that they don't even need! Your skin always looks beautiful and never overdone!
What a well executed video. So many beauty gurus will say "let me know if you want swatches or comparisions" when they do unboxing videos (videos I enjoy) that never happen. The only other time I saw the nars concealer collection swatched was in sponsored videos. I'd love to see you do more of these videos:)
I just bought the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit. It's rather hard for someone with a medium/dark skin to find a concealer or any foundation really that has a neutral tone to it. Most of the shades in other brands would usually only have medium/dark that is too golden-y. So thats a plus for Nars. It also feels very lighweight, sometimes i forget im even wearing any. On my combination skin I don't find the need to prep my skin that much, so maybe those who have rather dry skin wouldnt find it that hassle free.
However I too find that this concealer does break up after 4-5 hours -but i feel thats normal when you live in a hot and humid country such as Malaysia + if you have combo skin, and it does not pin-point conceal very well unless you have the time to spend some time on it.
So i would recommend Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer if finding your shade is rather hard in other brands (Mac prolongwear was too yellow for my skin, no drugstore concealers has my shade, at least in Malaysia that is) and if you don't have dry skin.
Would love to try out Tarte Shape Tape next time, should they expand their shade range. And urm, maybe the Sensual Skin Enhancer as well. We'll see well see. Thanks Karima for the comparison!
I agree, the shade range is fab and I think most people will get a match in the NARS. Thanks for sharing! x
Hi I'm from malaysia too! So whats ur take on good buildable coverage for concealers? Be it high end or drugstores I dont mind. Because it's such a hassle to find concealers that suits our hot & humid weather sobs
God Karima, you made the video of my dreams. Waiting for this literally for so long. Sending love;)
Yay! Hope it was worth the wait 😊 xx
The quality of your videos and lighting is unparalleled. It literally looks like you're right in front me and I appreciate the fact that you're showing your true skin texture. It helps the decision making process so much on whether or not to buy a product. You're also just highly likeable and entertaining! I truly love you videos! 💕
THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this comparison!! I've heard nothing but rave reviews over these two concealers but I"m very careful not to buy into hype products. We have similar skin types so I will definitely give the Tarte Shape Tape a try when it becomes available for purchase in Canada. Your reviews are always top notch and always on point!
So pleased you found it helpful :) x
I had to stop the video to comment. KARIMA I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I love your editing, your content in general, the way to talk, how thorough you are in your reviews, the closeups, everything!
Please never ever stop making videos and actually PLEASE MAKE MORE. You're breath of fresh air in youtubeland.
Most comprehensive review/comparison of these two concealers by far. Your content is alwaysssss ALWAYS, always high quality
Hands up if you like Karima's videos before EVEN watching, and that you get a warm, fuzzy feeling when you see a notification from her! LOVE YOU, KARIMA
Sarah Almayahe yes always!
❤️❤️
Sarah Almayahe I just want her to be my best friend, don't you?!
OMG, YES! Having a best friend like Karima is #GOALS
i think u will like my videos too:))

After your review, I went and purchased the Nars Soft Matte concealer for my face. I'm 52 and needed a concealer for bruising caused by fillers and based on your description, I thought it would be perfect... I wore it all day today and it's perfect for this. I just applied it to my T-zone and did not need foundation at all. Absolutely looks like skin and found the perfect color match with vanilla (I'm NC15, very green and yellow). So glad I watched your video because I trust your opinion. Thanks for the best reviews on RUclips and you are so fun to watch.
Wow, just rolled the dice a week ago and ordered the Shape Tape from the US without really knowing my colour...been waiting for so long, and just can't get to a store, so gambled and am crossing my fingers :-) Then your video popped up on my subscription list and BAM! it's just perfect! Cheers Karima, you're awesome. At least now, if the colour I selected isn't up to it, I've got a decent video to reference. Thanks!!
You put so much effort in your videos, so much detailled thinking is involved every single time. You just can tell that you have a lot of knowledge and experience. You are clearly one of the best RUclipsrs when it comes to make up.
thank you Karima, THANK YOU. for all the swatches. for all the comparisons. you're so much more helpful than a sephora consultant. in my experience i've had to wait on average at least 10 min to speak to a sephora employee because they're always so busy, and then they don't really listen to what you want, they seem to want to sell you stuff that they would want.
This was bomb. I was trying to decide between the two. Thanks!
Also want to say that I went back to your review of the sensual skin enhancer (4 years ago!) and was amazed. You've always produced high quality content, but you've come miles from then in both video production and makeup application! Love the work you do!
Thanks for watching! x
Tarte is amazing
Thank you so much for applying the concealer on other areas and filming it for us! because it is so exasperating to see youtubers applying concealer only on their under eye areas and ignoring other areas of the face. Thank you for giving a thorough, holistic review
I was watching another video featuring one of these concealers thinking: I wish somebody would do a video comparing Shape Tape and Nars Soft Matte. Boom! This comes up in suggested videos. Always feel stoked when I find a new Aussie RUclipsr to follow :)
I loved this video. I use the Tarte Shape Tape myself. I am a very fair skinned 56 year old, and although my skin is good, naturally I do have to worry about adding 'crepiness' to my eye area, or highlighting lines. I think Shape Tape is brilliant and I agree that it sets really well so you don't have to over powder (another big plus for us old gals)! I have normal/combination skin. Thanks Karima - I really like this compare and contrast style video for much hyped products!
This is such a quality video. I loved how you included swatches, prices, shades, and pros and cons! Awesome video!
Karima, you're my skin twin as I'm a fellow green person w dry skin LOL. I found the OG Nars concealer in Custard to be waaaay too drying for my under eyes so I am scared to try the soft matte... which leads me to the question: what emollient moisturizers do you use/recommend to prep? If you could do an updated skincare series, I would be SO grateful. I love you!!
Jade Yes!! I second that 😊
Jade I am also a green dry skin twin lol and yes would love to know what she does for skin prep and what emollient moisturizer she uses as well 😘
Jade I think Karima uses the Dr Spiller Collagen Cream
I'm hoping to film a skincare video soon :) My regular moisturiser is the Dr Spiller Collagen Cream, which I take around the eyes. xx
i think u will like my videos too:))
check out my channel im gonna cry out loud;_; *happily*
Sooooo love that you posted swatches!! And even more so side by side the NARS concealers!! I have been searching the Internet for photos so I can choose my ideal shade of shape tape online!! Hallelujah!! I think we have very similar skin tone so I'll definitely go with light neutral as a close colour and light sand as a highlight! Yay!! I found that the nars concealer really settled into my lines when I tried it in mecca. The original nars concealer performs much better for me, I'm quite combo
Having sampled through quite literally all the hyped-up concealers in the past few years I can say that these two products outperform most products on the market, on oily skin too. Without even knowing I've replaced all the other concealers I've been trying and been using exclusively these two.
What I really learned in the past two years is that whether a product is designed for dry or oily skin doesn't really matter that much. It's the application and prep that makes a bigger difference. If something has outstanding performance on oily skin chances are it's going to be great on dry skin as well.
And yes Shape Tape does have a huge shade range problem and oxidizes like crazy--within two months you can see the color change in the tube. Both are irritating problems but until a better cream concealer formula comes out I'll have to keep buying shape tapes and mix different shades together.
i am always surprised by how thorough you are, i never ever have any questions in my mind about a product if it is reviewed by you and whatever i buy based on your recommendation its always exactly how you described it .. great video as always. i wish you would post videos more often :)
This video is a perfect example of how thorough you are! Love the detail and information Bout the products!! And you're a sweetheart! Win win!
I really appreciate how well this comparison and overall video was laid out. So organized and intentional with everything that you did. Definitely earned my subscription.
I love that I can see ur skin texture .. meaning no filter on the camera so i can see the actual application and how it would look like in real life.. stay authentic.. subscribed!
Girl, you deserve more subscribers.. your videos are beautifully executed well explained and with no fancy background which I love!! Keep up the good work ❤❤👌🏻👏🏻
Your skin is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! I don't think I would cover it with any foundation or concealer if I was lucky enough to have skin like yours! It is beautiful! BUT, I know every skin has little things that you REALLY don't want exposed. Your color swatches are really great and show the texture and range of colors. I am glad you gave the little warning about making sure to moisturize and warm and press it to keep it from looking dry. Nice video! Good job!
Answered all my questions about the 2 product I was looking at. First time watching one of your videos, and you come across very genuine... Love all the USEFUL INFORMATION..
The fact that you swatched all of them! This was a good quality video, thanks.
Your videos are always well executed; perfectly pitched.... quite Eldridge-esque....which I enjoy and prefer as opposed to ranting, superfluous "oh I can't speak today" grammatically literate RUclipsrs. That sounded terribly snobby. Oh well, I don't claim to be otherwise. I think the Nars concealer looked more natural on you than the Tarte concealer. Additionally, I don't find the Nars concealer to be drying at all; the key is to warm it between your fingers before applying: the sales assistant at Space NK explained to me that this concealer has some kind of technology that adjusts to the movement of the skin....or something like that (now who's waffling lol). GA Power Fabric review.... pleeeeaaaassseee. Xxx
Just found your channel because of this video and just bought the Tarte I have dry and super dark under eye with sun spots and fleckles. shape tape is the first to do the job completely for me 😊
I’m super dry too and shape tape matte doesn’t make my under eyes look dry or cakey
This is one of the best beauty videos I've ever seen! I love that you get to the point without so much chit-chat and I love that you showed how they lasted throughout the day!
One of the best review formats Ive seen! So precise and so helpful! And you're gorgeous! More power, I'm a fan!!
I've been curious about both of these! Loved the comparison. Thanks!
Yesss new video! And I've been debating the new NARS! I love the shade range they offer, however I think I don't need it because I don't think it'll work on my undereyes...I was actually trying to find any comparisons to the Kevyn Aucoin SSE in how it works on blemishes, so I'm so glad you mentioned that! I should have known nothing would compare to the coverage of the SSE :).
Also, the Burberry looks amazing on you, really enjoying the formula of those. Brilliant Violet is my favorite.
Thank you for going so in depth !
You're so kind, professional, and honest, but at the same time you can be funny and I really appreciate it :) Thank you for such quality vids :)
I don't normally say this, but this is a very well executed video. You don't babble and you're very well spoken. New subscriber!
Thanks again for a wonderful, detailed yet not overly long. You are always my go-to for reviews and you almost read my mind in terms of the products I want to see reviews on and the questions I want answering. The quality of your videos are impeccable! Love from England x
When it's already 1 am in your country but your favorite australian youtuber posted a video lol. Hi from Brazil Karima!
Caroline Baptiste 11:33pm from Washington, USA
😘😘
such good quality video! well done Karima! you apply makeup so professionally! i wish i had nice lighting in my place haha
Your makeup is always flawless. ❤
Thanks girl! x
I love your videos so much. I particularly enjoy your technique and your looks I find so appealing, I always try to recreate! Def one of my fav RUclipsrs! 😘
Yay a Karimma video! This was excellent! I really love your reviews ❤ This was a great concept for a video and would love to see more!
Sorry...*Karima (typo:/)
I use the Tarte Shape Tape in light neutral and work all day and it puts up so well and looks natural. I love your accent! I'm combo skin btw. 😊
Good to know, thanks for sharing! x
Thank you so much for the swatches! Literally the most helpful swatch segment of a video I have ever seen!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive swatches, it is always nice to see the complete shade ranges :)
Best brows on RUclips! Great video on two 'of the moment' concealers. Definitely helped me decided on my next purchase!!
thank you so much for doing this comparison! i love your reviews, you're so well spoken but in what seems like a natural way.
As someone who is very dry and pink undertones with dark dark dark circles.....I use the Nars. I tried the shape tape and it was to yellow for my skin. After it oxidized it turned slightly orange. I love both the matte nars and creamy in the shade Vanilla when I want Natural or Chantilly when I want bright under eyes.
Your video is great Karmia. Glad I came across it.
Have you had any issues with camera "flashback" with the tarte shape tape? I have been using lancome effarnes in porcelaine I for years, but tried the tarte one recently because I could use more coverage on my dark circles. I loved the coverage, but the flashback is an issue. I am very fair too. Thank you!
No, I haven't experienced any issues with flashback. xx
It's as if you read my mind! Was hoping you'd do a comparison between these two in an upcoming video, thanks for sorting us out Karima xx
Woohoo! 😘
You destroyed this video, girl! Did not leave a stone unturned. Well done, lovely. Then again, I would expect nothing less from you!! Please continue this series as I think you will assist many in choosing between hyped products and make informed decisions. I want to get the Shape Tape but I fair-light skintone with neutral undertones is confused about the shade range. I want to use it under the eye as well as any facial discoloration :o
I loooove the shape tape. I have normal to slightly oily skin. It is hands down the best concealer I've ever tried. I think it does a great job on blemishes as well!
I have normal/oily skin and I love the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer! I work at Sephora and we just had the NARS representative in our store they other day and he was saying that the concealer does have blurring technology to help smooth the appearance of pores so you're right about that (:
Absolutely love you and your tutorials. Your so thorough and I really learn from you Karima! Keep up the great work! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘👍👍👍👍 one of a kind!
This was the most informative review of both of these concealers that I've seen so far 🙌🏻 I have both concealers, and an oily skin type and still find all your pro/cons to be true - I like the shape tape better even though the shade range is difficult. The NARS creases more under the eye and doesn't cover spots any better than average. You've just confirmed my decision to return the NARS.
Great to hear another perspective from another skin type! Thanks for sharing 😘
Love the fact that we can actually see a youtubers skin texture and imperfections, as most use blurring filters and what not. I wanna see how the makeup looks as close to real life as possible. Keep up the great videos
I got combination skin and usually agreed with hyped products but when i received the shape tape i wasnt that over it as an under eye concealer it emphasized EVERYTHING n also my skin was quite dry then so the way i preferred to use it only then was like coverfx drops way better mixer to lighten or darken or just give more coverage to ur foundations is amazing like that even with a matte foundation but again as under eye concealer i didnt loved it and was surprised so many dry skin youtubers loved it for their under eyes n i found that using with a dewy or moisturizing base it looked n blended so flawlessly so yea if u think it just doesnt work for u try hydrating well ur skin or simply use it with a more emollient base work like a charm n ill recommend it over the coverfx which it dried out without using in less than 3 months, now curious by the nars with those peachier undertones
Wow! What a well thought out, planned and executed video! Loved the subtle professionalism!!😘 always a pleasure watching you!
Yes I love u! Also Subscribed. Showing the complete shade range! U don't know how much it bothers me seeing these beauty gurus getting all shades and not showing the swatches! Also great comparison review:)
Thank you for this comparison/review! Lol i was just about to purchase a new concealer and i've been struggling to pick between these two! And i trust your review more than any other YTers! Xx
do a battle of the cushion foundations! how does the drugstore loreal lumi magique do against the higher end ones? xx
YES!!!! Karima, I am really glad you did this because I trust your opinion on face products because our preferences align. My bf prefers your makeup looks to a lot of people and I think it is because you really make sure to keep your skin looking more natural. Great job AS ALWAYS, girl!
I love how you applied your concealer and how natural your make up looks. I feel like many youtubers nowadays pack on their concealer by the pound! New subbie!!
Compare the best compact powders!
Loanne Nguyen yes what a great idea
Andari Reksi in case she doesn't, she likes the rimmel stay matte powder and the Charlotte tillbury powder
i think u will like my videos too:))
check out my channel im gonna cry out loud;_; *happily*
Thank you for this comparisson. I was considering buying the Nars one blind, because I don't have a stand anywhere near, butbI think I would have been really disappointed.
That's why I like your videos-they're actually useful!
Wow I love how you swatched & labeled them! That’s exactly what people need from swatch videos. THANK YOUU!
I haven't touched my shape tape since I bought the Nars!
The soft matte or the radiant creamy concealer ?
FaFo Alaa late reply but soft matte for me
Loved the video, very professional and covered everything for both products! I have pretty normal under eyes, but combo skin for the most part. I actually prefer the soft matte because the tarte seems to slip and slide on me even after I set it with powder. And I have huge pores so any product that smooths and hides them is a holy grail for me. Another note is I wear glasses everyday and the shape tape doesn't handle the plastic frames very well. There will be indentation marks within one hour of putting on my glasses where as the nars is a real trooper. It will be a solid 4 hours before indentations appear. This is just my opinion and what works well my chemistry. Love your video though, new subscriber :)
I love the idea of this video!!! I have the tarts shape tape and was considering getting the nars one, thanks for doing this, a great help xxxx
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!! Been waiting for you to review these
THANK YOU FOR THIS VID. I love product comparisons, and I'm in need of a new concealer. I agree with you that the Tarte Shape Tape won this round against the NARS. P.s. your brows look phenomenal.
Great systematic review - you should be the Queen of RUclips, Karima! :)
Loved this, Karima! Always look forward to your videos x
Lovely review Karima! I have the NARS concealer you featured and I love it. It applies best on me with a finger - I think the warmth helps it melt into my skin seamlessly. I have had trouble in the past with concealer creasing badly under my eyes, so I tend to need to set liquid concealers with a lot of powder. I find that I barely have to whisk powder over this NARS concealer and it hardly creases at all! My skin is normal to dry with oil on my nose and chin.
You make such informative videos karima! i loved it! Thanks for all your effort! :) Would love a skincare related video too!
PS: i am so excited for the review of the new armani foundation!!
so informative! The way you do comparisons is even scientific some kind of feeling!e! Thank you Karima!
great content, great lighting, superb effort in swatching and listing the shades ... i got shape tape in medium from Ulta and never regret :D
New camera? The quality of the picture is amazeballs! It's always been awesome but today's video is crazy clear :-)
Same camera, just really fiddled with the settings to get it as crisp as possible because I wanted you guys to see as much texture as possible :) x
Karima McKimmie You did just that! Appreciate all you do for your viewers. Happy Friday x
This video was so comprehensive, you really explained things in depth. I use the radiant creamy concealer in Chantilly and love it on my normal sometimes oily skin. I have intense folds on my under eye and I don't even have to set it
YES!!!! I'M SO GLAD YOU DID THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU🤗
I just love you! You are my absolute favorite on RUclips! No one can replace you 😉😊
I enjoyed hearing the comparison. I'm waiting for my Shape Tape to arrive. I couldn't decide for a few days which I wanted to try first and I'm glad now that I chose Shape Tape.
Loved this video! Many thanks!
I have both concealers. I also prefer the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer :-) I have mature normal to combination skin. I have to use a hydrating eye cream before both concealers.
I've been waiting for this, so excited!
Always such professional work Karima!
I've been looking into Shape Tape swatches for hours now and I'm still none the wiser. Shade range is so confusing, and taking into account that everything oxidises on me its likely to be a complete waste of money. It’s only available online here in the UK, so i can’t even go to a store to test the colours. I was convinced that medium is a safe bet, but in your swatch it’s actually quite dark (thank you for the great lighting and video clarity!). I think i’m going to try the Make-up Revolution concealer dupe instead. It’s only make-up at the end of the day but it’s frustrating when there’s so much guess work involved. Thanks for creating a really helpful video.
The quality content of your videos, I thought you have over a million subs. God, you deserve more subscribers.
Thank you, thank you. Was wondering about this comparison and the need to try NARS for a better shade. Got around it by adding a teeeeny dash of salmon colour corrector. 😊.
karima, please do a tutorial on that make up look 😍😍😍 or atleast list the products used, like the highlight, eyeshadow and 2nd lipstick 😍😍
love you 😘
Love this video! Thank you for creating this, I've been trying to decide between these both concealers for awhile and this definitely helped! Will definitely be getting shape tape
Thank you Karima, always a pleasure to watch you (from Paris)
Fantastic video. This is definitely a necessary comparison! Absolutely love your videos! Have an amazing day :)
Hi Karima! I would love to see an in depth video on correctly setting concealer for dry skin. I find baking feels so uncomfortable under my eyes but other methods crease - please help! x
Interesting to hear your viewpoints- love your videos and how informative you are! I find that the NARS concealer is far more forgiving on my dry skin, especially under the eyes. The Shape Tape was ultra drying under my eyes! Saying that, after watching your video, I'm thinking I might need to give it another chance!
The NARS wears off SO quickly on me compared to the Shape Tape. By midday it looks like I've forgotten to apply concealer. Shape Tape is definitely the winner in my book.
A new member to the fam :) this comparison was really interesting ! Thanks :)
Welcome! 😘
Great video Karima! Thorough, informative and really nicely edited. Concealers are my weakness, but such a shame we can't get shape tape in the shops here in the UK, only online. Makes colour matching even more tricky. X
