FAQs
Can I use this brush for eyeshadow?
While intended for concealer, its tapered shape can be used for applying cream eyeshadows or blending out edges on the eyelid.
Is this brush made with animal hair?
No, it features high-grade Taklon bristles which are entirely synthetic and cruelty-free.
How often should I clean this brush?
For daily users, it is recommended to deep clean your brush once a week to prevent bacteria buildup and maintain product performance.
Does the weighted handle affect travel?
The handle provides a luxurious feel, though it is slightly heavier than standard brushes; ensure it is stored in a secure case during travel to avoid damaging the bristles.
Can this brush be used for contouring?
Yes, its tapered edge is excellent for precise cream contouring around the nose or cheekbones.
Troubleshooting
Bristles losing their tapered shape
Clean the brush and reshape the bristles with your fingers while damp; store in a brush guard or lay flat to dry.
Product buildup on bristles
Use an oil-based makeup remover or deep-cleansing brush soap to break down stubborn cream or liquid concealer residues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no specific setup; simply remove it from the packaging and it is ready for use. It is fully compatible with any concealer formula, including heavy-duty creams and lightweight liquids. To maintain the integrity of the bristles, clean the brush regularly using a mild, brush-specific cleanser or gentle soap. After washing, reshape the tapered head and lay the brush flat to dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue in the ferrule from loosening.
