double-ended cream concealer brush

Tarte's double-ended cream concealer brush puts two heads on one handle so you can lay concealer down and work it out without swapping tools. Tarte frames it around three actions — blending, buffing and concealing — for coverage you place without getting it on your fingers.

What it actually does

• Two ends, one handle. The double-ended build means application and blending happen with the same tool, which is the point of the design.
• Made for cream textures. Tarte specifies it as a cream concealer brush, so the bristles are intended for liquid and cream formulas rather than powder.
• Keeps the job mess-free. The brand's stated benefit is clean, controlled coverage rather than fingertip application.
• Buffs as well as blends. Buffing is what removes the hard edge between concealer and the rest of your base.

How to use

1. Place first, blend second. Use one end to put the product exactly where you want coverage, then switch ends to soften the boundary.
2. Work in small circles. Buffing motions melt cream concealer into the skin instead of pushing it around.
3. Wash it regularly. Cream formulas build up in bristles faster than powders — a gentle wash with lukewarm water and brush soap, then dry flat with the head hanging off the edge.
