Concealer brush help

[mrsw09]

I want to get a concealer brush to apply my tarte cc corrector and PM concealer. I usually use a sponge but would like to have just a little more coverage and feel like a brush might retain the full coverage level of both products more than a sponge. I have narrowed it down to the PM Sublime Perfection concealer brush, the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch concealer brush or the Zoeva 146 concealer perfecter brush. I haven’t seen any of these in person. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@mrsw09  This probably depends on how and where you apply concealer. But for my undereyes, I use the PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Concealer Brush . It's a small brush that almost perfectly mimics my fingertip. It fits nicely into my hollow tear troughs, where I apply the most concealer. I love it so much, I bought a second one. 

I also have the Zoeva 146 brush. It's bigger than the PMG brush, so I never use it under my eyes. Eh, I prefer a smaller brush I can better control, since I'm very precise and strategic when applying concealer. I took some comparison photos last year:

I've never tried the Rare Beauty brush or seen it in person, so I can't comment on that one.

@WinglessOne I keep looking at The PMG concealer brush. I'm glad you love it and I now am going to order one.   Great review.

@WinglessOne Thank you so much for responding! The pictures were super helpful! I appreciate your experience with both brushes too. I think the PM would be better suited for how I want to use it than the Zoeva. The Zoeva just looks too big for my under eye area. I appreciate the side by side comparison. It really helped.

No problem, @mrsw09 ! I hope you enjoy Pat's brush, if you decide to buy it! Sephora's upcoming spring sale would be a great time to get it. 🙂 I might even buy a 3rd one during the sale. 

It took me a while to figure out what to do with Zoeva brush, other than return it or give it away. Since it also has a fingertip-type touch (heh, more like a thumb-sized touch), I sometimes use it to apply cream products elsewhere on my face, like Glossier Cloud Paint blushes and RMS Luminizer highlighters.

It's a bit big @mrsw09 , but it works well for me under the brow bone when I need to clean up my brow

@faeriegirl and @SportyGirly125 Glad to know they are both good options. I am leaning toward the PM one just because it should pair well with the concealer, but still haven’t decided. Thank you for the responses.

@mrsw09  I recently got the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Liquid Touch Concealer Brush  and I love it. 

[danielledanielle]

Oooh, I was thinking of this one when I read the original post @faeriegirl , size wise is it on par with Pat's?

[mrsw09]

I’m curious if the size comparison between the two also.

[faeriegirl]

@mrsw09 @danielledanielle  I don’t have the Pat brush but I saw this online 

 I measured my Rare Beauty brush and it is approximately 6.25 inches long and the top is approximately 1/2 inch wide.

[WinglessOne]

@faeriegirl @danielledanielle @mrsw09  Huh, those measurements must be for the bigger PMG brush. When Pat first launched the concealer brush, it came in 2 sizes. The bigger one was available only if you bought it in a set with the smaller brush. I never bought the set, so I don't have the bigger brush—so, I don't know if it's the same as the one Pat currently calls a foundation brush. Hmm. 

Anyway, my PMG concealer brush is the little one. It's only 4 7/8" long in total. The brush head is 3/4" long and 3/8" wide. 

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @WinglessOne! I had no idea it came in 2 sizes.

@mrsw09 Out of the three mentioned I have and use PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Concealer Brush
