Whether you're after extra coverage for blemishes and discoloration, or skipping a full face of foundation and opting for a more fresh-faced look, concealer is your best friend. Getting the right brush for applying and buffing out the concealer – for pinpoint, under-eye or larger areas is important. We've pulled together a list of the brushes our customers love using for concealer, along with their reviews, to help you with your brush decisions and use.
CHIKUHODO
GSN-8 EYESHADOW BRUSH
"Outstanding Brush. This is a fabulous brush for everything from shadows to concealers and laying foundation is those tight corners around the nose and ears. I reach for it constantly." (Georgiana R, USA)
bisyodo
B-TC-01 Tapping Concealer Brush
"Holy Grail Concealer Brush. These bristles are super soft but firm so it's great at stamping and blending concealer, especially cream concealer." (Herlina, USA)
"This is a beautiful brush for blending concealer. I have also used it with stick foundations in small areas and cream highlighter for a beautiful blend. Really great quality and a pleasure to use." (Alice)
eihodo
LQ-3 Liquid Brush, WP Series
"Highly recommended. I love this brush. It is a multi-tasker as the shape of the brush allows application of both concealer and foundation and cream blush. Easy to clean and hardy hair type, worth the investment." (Rebecca, Australia)
houkodou
BZ-2 Slanted Foundation Brush
"A winner. I love this brush for contouring and other tasks such as concealer. This is a great multitasking brush. You will love the feel of the bristles because they are so soft and gentle on your skin." (Phyllis R)
Koyudo
Y-3 Eyeshadow Brush, Yoshiki Series
“VERY NICE! This is a great mid-sized pencil brush to have. It's extremely close in size to the Chikuhodo Z-10, except that the Z-10 tapers to a sharper point… It will put the product exactly where you want it and nowhere else… where the Y-4 outperforms the Z-10 is with satin/shimmer/sparkly shades. It deposits more of the sheen. Once I figured out that difference, this became my go-to brush for highlight shades. Love it.” (Marisa, USA)
Mizuho
PM-5 Eyeshadow Brush
"Value for money. Bristles are soft and just the right size for undereye concealer application. Apply shadow glitters with no fall out. Able to draw tightline with powder shadow on upper and lower eyes with no fall out too. A very versatile brush with good price point." (D, Malaysia)
Chikuhodo
FO-2 Foundation Brush, FO Series
"Although the description of this brush says it is for powder products, I typically use it with my everyday combination of Clé de Peau cushion and CdP concealer stick. I have also successfully used it with my Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate foundation. I have mature (I’m 79), dry skin with mild, well-controlled rosacea so I look for brushes that are soft enough that they don’t irritate my skin and yet are dense enough to do the job. This particular foundation brush meets my needs perfectly." (Eileen K, USA)
Chikuhodo
G-10 Liquid Brush (LQ-10), G Series
"...the best at blending concealer and foundation under the eyes and doing touchups around the nose." (Marlena-Ann Seki, USA)
Chikuhodo
Eyeshadow Brush, Regular Series (R-S9 Black / RR-S9 Red)
"This shape is perfection for applying shimmers on the eyelid or for applying under eye concealer. I wish I bought it sooner!!" (Lili M)
bisyodo
B-ES-06 Eyeshadow Brush (Long Series)
"A great concealer brush. A dot on each inner corner of eye and this brush - best concealer application. I use it every time i apply make up. And so pretty." (Akr, UAE)
mizuho
CMP563 Concealer Brush
"Great for pinpoint concealing. This sythetic haired brush is a perfect tool for concealing tiny blemishes or discolouration. The bristles are quite stiff and the shape is pointed which is really helpful for depositing the right amount of product on the imperfections. It can be easily cleaned... Highly recommended if you suffer from random blemishes!" (Carolyn, Germany)
Tanseido

“I purchased this brush with the blue handle it has a lovely sheen to it... this brush is amazing at just about everything from concealers to eyeshadows. It’s especially exceptional at applying glitter eyeshadows.” (Louise W.)

Kiwami Portable Lip Brush (KK-010)
"I was pleasantly surprised by this lip brush, it does a good job applying lipstick on lips but also concealer in the under eye area!!" (Alina K, Greece)
Bisyodo
S-506 Concealer Brush, Shiori Series
“I was pleasantly surprised by how soft this brush was considering the bristles are synthetic... to find it it was almost as soft as natural bristle on my sensitive skin was surprising. I use it for cream concealer and it is soft enough to use under the eye area without hurting and I can wash it every time I use it so it is easy to clean.” (JF, UK)
Chikuhodo
J-G7 Concealer Brush
“This is my only vegan brush, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how nicely it does the job with my concealer. I tend to use the Westman Atelier stick more often than not for concealing, and this brush works nicely to blend the product under my eyes and on any odd blemishes here and there... I would highly recommend if you're looking for a simple, easy to use concealer brush with a flat top and you're a bit strapped for cash.” (Flossy)
Tanseido
AKA 赤 Series MQ10 Eyeshadow Brush
“The bristles are nice and smooth, feel nice against the skin perfect for under eye concealing and for the eyes... this type of hair is very versatile it can be used with any products powders, liquids, gel formula’s, creams. It provides very good results.” (Louise W.)
