Nº 8 Large Concealer Brush

Hourglass Nº 8 Large Concealer Brush is firm rather than floppy, and tapers to a point. Hourglass connects that shape to concentrated coverage you can steer — the bristles push product into one spot instead of spreading it thin across the face.

Type	Large concealer brush, firm and tapered
Feel	Firm head that holds its shape under pressure
Bristles	Taklon — PETA-approved, high grade, very soft per the brand
Handle	Weighted metal
Animal-free	Vegan and cruelty-free

What it actually does

• Concentrates coverage. Hourglass attributes this to the firm, tapered build — the brush keeps concealer where you put it rather than letting it drift.
• Covers more ground than a fine detail brush. The larger head means fewer passes over a bigger area, which matters under the eye and across redness on the cheeks.
• Gives you control. The brand calls out excellent control as the pay-off of the shape, so the point can still work into a smaller mark when needed.
• Soft despite the firmness. Hourglass grades the Taklon fibre as high quality and ultra-soft, which is the difference between pressing and scraping.
• Hygiene and animal-hair allergies. The brand positions Taklon as more hygienic than animal hair and workable for people who react to it.
• Works across formulas. Per Hourglass it can take liquid, cream or powder, so liquid concealer and cream colour-corrector both sit on it.
• Weighted to stay steady. The metal handle carries the weight, which the brand links to effortless blending.

How to use

1. Dot concealer straight onto the skin, then pick it up with the flat of the brush.
2. Press and roll over the area — pressing deposits, dragging removes.
3. Use the tapered tip to feather the outer edge into surrounding foundation.
4. Layer a second thin pass only where coverage is still short, rather than one heavy coat.
5. Set with powder once the concealer has settled.
6. To clean: wash with a mild soap and lukewarm water, press out the water and dry it flat.

Questions

How is this different from the Nº 5 Concealer Brush?

Size and purpose. Hourglass builds the Nº 5 slim for detailed work; this one is larger and firm for concentrated coverage over a wider patch. Many people own both.

Is a firm brush harsh under the eyes?

Firmness is about the head keeping its shape, not about the fibres being rough — Hourglass describes the Taklon as ultra-soft. Press rather than drag and the under-eye stays comfortable.

Can I use it for cream contour?

The brand says the bristles accept cream and liquid as well as powder, so a cream product will work on it. Clean it after, since cream builds up faster in a dense head.
