Share
What is it
- Small, flat brush with synthetic bristles.
- Designed for applying concealer to cover blemishes, dark circles, or imperfections.
- Use a gentle patting motion for precise coverage.
What You'll Need
- Concealer (liquid or cream).
- Concealer brush with small, flat, synthetic bristles.
- Mirror.
- Setting powder, makeup sponge (optional).
Get Your Skin Ready
- Start with a clean face.
- Wash it gently to get rid of any dirt or leftover makeup.
- Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
- If you usually use a primer or moisturizer, apply that now.
Load the Concealer Brush
- Squeeze a small amount of concealer onto the back of your hand.
- This will act as your palette.
- Dip your concealer brush's small, flat end into the concealer.
- You only need a little, so don’t overload the brush.
Target the Area
- Look in the mirror and locate the blemish, dark circle, or imperfection you want to cover.
- Hold the concealer brush like a pencil, giving you more precise application control.
Gentle Patting Motion
- Gently tap the loaded brush onto the targeted area.
- This patting motion helps to deposit the concealer exactly where you want it.
- No swiping or rubbing, gentle taps.
Feather the Edges
- After you've applied the concealer, use the flat edge of the brush to blend the concealer into your skin.
- Feather out the edges to blend the concealer with the surrounding area.
- This avoids a "patchy" look.
Layer if Necessary
- If the blemish or dark circle is still visible, you may need to add another layer of concealer.
- Repeat the last two steps.
- Remember, thin layers work better than one thick layer.
Check Your Work
- Take a close look in the mirror.
- Ensure the concealer has been blended well and the imperfection is covered.
- If you see any edges or lines, use your concealer brush to gently blend them away.
Optional Set with Powder
- To ensure your concealer stays in place, lightly dust some setting powder.
- Use a fluffy brush for this, or even your fingers, but apply it gently to avoid disturbing the concealer.
A clean brush works best
- Ensure that you clean your concealer brush regularly with a brush cleaner or gentle soap and water.
- Don’t apply concealer directly from the tube or pot to your face for hygiene.
- Always use a clean brush.
- Precision is critical.
- Take your time to ensure your concealer is applied right for the most polished look.
Now you know the steps and tips to use a concealer brush effectively. This tool is excellent for you who are aiming for that flawless makeup look, helping to cover up any slight imperfections or blemishes.
