#11 Soft Matte Complete Concealer Brush

NARS #11 Soft Matte Complete Concealer Brush is made for cream formulas specifically. NARS calls it an all-in-one complexion brush, meaning the same head applies, layers and blends instead of you swapping tools halfway through.

What it actually does

• Handles cream textures. It was designed for use with cream formulas, which is a different job from a powder brush — the head has to move product rather than dust it on.
• Does all three steps. NARS says it lets you apply, layer and blend cream product on the face, so one brush covers the whole sequence.
• Aims for an airbrushed look. The brand describes the finish as smooth and airbrushed once the product is worked in.
• Works for spot correction. NARS notes it can be used to spot correct or to cover dark circles under the eyes.

How to use

1. Pick up a small amount on the tip — cream concealer goes further than you expect and a loaded brush is harder to blend.
2. Place first, blend second. Tap the product where you want coverage, then work it outward with the same head.
3. Layer rather than pile on. Build a second thin pass over anything still showing instead of adding more in one go.
4. Around the eyes, use the lightest pressure you can — that skin creases easily.
5. Washing: put a small amount of mild soap or brush shampoo on the head, rinse under the tap until no pigment comes out, and keep water off the handle. Reshape the fibres by hand, then dry the brush flat or hanging head-downward.

Questions

Can I use it for powder too?

It is specified as a brush for cream formulas. You can physically use it with powder, but the shape and fibre density were chosen for creams, so a dedicated powder brush will give you a better result there.

Is it only for concealer?

NARS calls it an all-in-one complexion brush for cream formulas, and highlights spot correcting and under-eye coverage as uses. So concealer is the headline job, but any cream complexion product is within what the brand describes.

How do I clean a brush that has had cream in it?

More often than a powder brush — cream product builds up in the fibres. Use a gentle soap or brush shampoo, rinse until the water runs clear, avoid wetting the handle, reshape the head and let it dry flat or upside down as NARS recommends.
