concealer paw brush

Tarte Concealer Paw Brush is shaped like a little paw, and the odd angle is the point — it lets you tap concealer into the narrow places a round head skips. Tarte pairs it with the Creaseless Creamy Concealer (sold separately) and describes the combination as hard to get wrong. The bristles are synthetic and very soft, which matters when you are working right under the eye.

What it actually does

• Reaches the awkward corners. Tarte names the inner corners of the eyes and the sides of the nose — the two spots most concealer brushes are too wide for.
• Leaves an airbrushed look. The brand describes the application as seamless and effortless, with product sitting smoothly rather than in patches.
• Gentle on thin skin. Super-soft synthetic fibres are specified for delicate areas, so there is less tugging around the eyes.
• Matched to one formula. Tarte built it to go with the Creaseless Creamy Concealer, which you buy separately — that pairing is where the brand's claims apply.
• Vegan and cruelty-free, per Tarte.

How to use

1. Apply your concealer first, straight from its own applicator onto the area you want covered.
2. Pat with the paw — short, light taps rather than dragging strokes.
3. Keep patting to build it up where you want more coverage, and keep going until the edges have blended out.
4. Washing: work gentle soap through the fibres, rinse with the head facing down, squeeze the shape back and dry it lying flat.

Questions

Do I have to buy the matching concealer?

No, but it is the formula Tarte designed the shape around. The concealer is sold separately — this listing is the brush only.

What makes it a “paw”?

The head is cut at an unusual angle instead of straight across, which is what gives it access to corners. Tarte describes it as uniquely angled rather than a standard tapered head.

Is it safe around my eyes?

Tarte specifies super-soft synthetic bristles chosen to be gentle on delicate skin, and the corners of the eyes are an area the brand names directly. Tap lightly and avoid pulling the skin.

Can I build heavier coverage with it?

Yes — Tarte's own instruction is to keep using patting motions to build the coverage up, so you control how much goes on by how long you tap.
