This brush pairs with concealer for satin smooth coverage. It is ideal for using under the eyes to blur fine lines and cover dark circles.

The Real Techniques website recommend using a sweeping motion to apply your chosen concealer. Once that is done, use a dabbing motion to build coverage and blend the product out. The result? Radiant, glowing skin that will make you feel like a million dollars.Although it is designed for concealer, there's no stopping you from using the brush to apply your best foundation and other cream products to create that airbrushed finish. Just make sure to clean the brush weekly if you want to get the best results. If you're not sure about how to clean your makeup brushes properly, we've got an entire guide on what to do (and what to avoid).
