Stretch Balm Concealer

Glossier Stretch Balm Concealer is a balmy, flexible concealer that moves with your face instead of sitting on top of it. Glossier describes it as the same formula people already knew, now offered across 32 shades matched to its foundation range. The point isn't full erasure — it's covering what bothers you while your skin still reads as skin.

What it actually does

• Builds up only where you want it. Glossier positions the coverage as buildable, so one thin layer can be enough on a good day and a second pass handles the spots that need more.
• Targets three specific things. Per the brand, it's formulated for under-eye darkness, blemishes and patches of redness.
• Keeps a dewy, glowy finish. It isn't a flat matte concealer — the finish stays luminous, which is why Glossier frames it as looking like skin rather than makeup.
• Matches your base. The 32 shades are built to line up with Glossier's foundation shades, so your concealer and your base aren't fighting each other.
• Works as a partner to Stretch Fluid Foundation. The brand suggests pairing the two for skin-like coverage across the whole face.

How to use

1. Soften it first. Tap your fingertip lightly across the surface of the product — the warmth loosens the balm and lifts a thin amount onto your finger.
2. Start on moisturised skin. Glossier specifies applying over skin that's already moisturised, which keeps the balm from grabbing.
3. Pat, don't drag. Press it in and work outwards from the centre of the area, blending with fingertips.
4. Or buff it. The Stretch Face Brush (sold separately) can be used instead of fingers if you prefer a more diffused edge.

Questions

How much coverage does it really give?

Glossier calls it buildable, which means you control it. A single thin layer gives a soft, see-through-ish correction; adding a second layer on a blemish or a dark corner increases it. It is not designed to be an opaque, one-coat full-coverage concealer.

Do I need the Stretch Face Brush?

No. Fingers are listed as a perfectly valid way to blend it, and the warmth helps. The brush is an option if you want to buff rather than pat.

Which shade do I pick?

The shades correspond to Glossier's foundation shade range, so if you know your Stretch Fluid Foundation shade, start there. If you don't, message us on WhatsApp with a photo in natural light and we'll help you narrow it down before you order.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades we hold in stock ship at the faster end; shades we bring in for you take longer. We'll keep you updated on your order status.

What are my payment options?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. We don't offer cash on delivery.

Can I return it if the shade is wrong?

Unfortunately not — returns cover defective, damaged or expired items only, and the issue needs to be reported within 1 day of delivery. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 15–30 days. That's exactly why we'd rather help you choose the shade before you buy.
