June 9, 2026

Concealer is one of the hardest-working products in your makeup bag — but even the best formula won’t perform without the right brush. Whether you’re covering dark circles, blemishes, or redness, the Brittany Cosmetics Concealer Brush and Small Concealer Brush give you the precision and control to blend seamlessly every single time.

Concealer Brush vs Small Concealer Brush: Which Do You Need?

Brittany Cosmetics offers two concealer brushes, each designed for a specific purpose:

Concealer Brush – a medium-sized, flat brush ideal for broader coverage areas such as under the eyes, across the nose, and on larger blemishes. Its flat shape allows for precise placement and smooth blending.
Small Concealer Brush – a finer, more tapered brush designed for pinpoint precision. Perfect for covering individual blemishes, spots, and small areas of redness where a larger brush would apply too much product.

For a complete concealer routine, both brushes work together — the Concealer Brush for broader coverage, the Small Concealer Brush for targeted touch-ups.

How to Apply Under-Eye Concealer with a Brush

Step 1 – Choose the right shade
For under-eye coverage, select a concealer one to two shades lighter than your foundation to brighten the area and counteract darkness.

Step 2 – Apply in a triangle shape
Using the Concealer Brush, apply concealer in an inverted triangle shape beneath the eye — from the inner corner down to the cheek and across to the outer corner. This technique brightens a larger area and lifts the face.

Step 3 – Pat, don’t drag
Use gentle patting motions to blend the concealer into the skin. Dragging the brush will move the product and disturb your base underneath.

Step 4 – Blend the edges
Use the outer edge of the brush to feather the concealer seamlessly into your foundation, eliminating any visible lines.

Step 5 – Set with powder
Lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the concealed area to prevent creasing and lock the coverage in place.

How to Cover Blemishes with the Small Concealer Brush

Step 1 – Match your shade precisely
For blemish coverage, use a concealer that exactly matches your skin tone — going lighter will highlight the blemish rather than conceal it.

Step 2 – Apply directly to the blemish
Load a small amount of product onto the Small Concealer Brush and apply directly onto the centre of the blemish using a stippling motion (press and lift).

Step 3 – Blend the edges only
Blend only the outer edges of the concealer into the surrounding skin. Avoid blending over the centre, which will thin out the coverage where you need it most.

Step 4 – Build if needed
Allow the first layer to set for a moment, then apply a second layer if more coverage is needed. Thin layers build more effectively than one heavy application.

Pro Tips for Flawless Concealer Application

Apply concealer after foundation – foundation covers a lot on its own; applying concealer after means you use less product and get a more natural result
Use a damp brush for sheerer coverage – slightly dampening the brush gives a more skin-like, blended finish
Warm the product first – tap the brush on the back of your hand before applying to warm the concealer and make it easier to blend
Set immediately – concealer creases quickly, especially under the eyes; set with powder as soon as you’re happy with the coverage
