Concealer brush – giving the glow!
Which concealer brush has the shape that fulfills every flawless wish? How densely packed should its bristles be, and which type of brush tip distributes the concealer so that it covers imperfections but blends as seamlessly as possible with the skin? These questions have been answered with the environmentally friendly concealer brush from UND GRETEL. The Concealer Brush No. 4 from the vegan and sustainable brush collection is the tool of choice for gently but precisely applying liquid and cream concealer variants over imperfections and dark circles. The pigments blend seamlessly with the skin, and the complexion radiates a flawless, balanced complexion. In a nutshell, it is the best concealer brush we could imagine.
And the UND GRETEL community can expect nothing less than that. Because, like all makeup brushes, the concealer brush is perfectly matched to its color products. First and foremost, that would be TUNKAL . The vegan concealer, available in five shades, does come with its own small brush. But since the special concealer brush is both optimally shaped for the job and hygienically washable, its use makes double sense. And last but not least, this brush can also help with eye makeup—another argument in favor of this professional tool.
Which brush for which concealer?
When choosing a concealer, you can choose from both creamy and liquid formulations. Creamy versions, with their thicker consistency and higher coverage, are ideal for visually softening obvious imperfections, whether dark circles under the eyes, pigmentation, or acne scars. They often also provide moisture, making them ideal for people with dry skin. Liquid concealers have a lighter texture and more natural coverage. They are well-suited for skin without significant color abnormalities and for people with oily or combination skin, as this concealer texture blends more smoothly and has a lighter finish. The shape of a brush must be tailored to these specific requirements in order to precisely apply each concealer, distribute it evenly, and blend it seamlessly into the skin. Accordingly, the concealer brush has a narrow and slightly rounded shape that serves several purposes:
-
Precision: The narrow tip of the brush allows for targeted coverage of small areas of the skin, such as the under-eye concealer brush, where dark spots appear around the eyes. But you can also precisely conceal any other imperfections without the product transferring to neighboring areas of the skin.
- Even distribution: The rounded brush shape facilitates even distribution. As a concealer blending brush, it can gently blend and incorporate the product without creating visible lines or edges.
- Natural finish: Thanks to the fine bristles of the concealer brush, the product is applied evenly and in a wafer-thin layer without excess makeup accumulating or settling into fine lines. Concealed skin looks radiant and flawless – the Brightening Concealer Brush makes it possible.
Using concealer brushes requires little learning curve: beginners can take their time to familiarize themselves with the application technique and brush handling. The reward is a truly professional makeup experience and a particularly even result. A few words about the financial aspect: organic concealer brushes cannot be produced as cheaply as mass-produced synthetic ones. However, by doing so, you are not only investing in your own skin health but also reducing your impact on the environment. For some, the price may be a barrier, especially if they prefer applying concealer with their fingers. However, even here, the advantages of a washable concealer brush outweigh the disadvantages. Not only its precision, but also its hygiene makes it indispensable for anyone who values sustainable and skin-healthy makeup results.
This is what people of all ages want from a concealer brush. The choice between creamy and liquid products depends largely on individual skin needs and the desired results. Younger people usually use concealer to conceal blemishes and spots or to reduce dark circles under the eyes. Middle-aged people can use concealer to hide fine lines and wrinkles and to visually smooth the skin. Finally, older people use concealer to cover natural age spots and hyperpigmentation, as well as to visually highlight the sunken eye area. All of this creates a more even and therefore youthful appearance.
The sustainability of makeup tools
For the UND GRETEL brush collection, materials and possibilities were extensively tested – and some were rejected. The goal was a tool collection that met sustainability standards. After all, there are thousands of cosmetic brushes – and this has been the case since ancient civilizations. Women and men in Egypt, Greece, and Rome already used brushes to apply pigments and makeup substances to the skin. In the past, various materials were used for the bristles of cosmetic brushes, including goat, horse, and squirrel hair. It was valued for its soft feel and its ability to distribute products evenly.
Fortunately, preferences and concerns regarding the use of animal products in the cosmetics industry have fundamentally changed. This led to the development of synthetic bristles as a more animal-friendly alternative. Often made of nylon or polyester, they offer similar properties to natural bristles, but their disposal is highly controversial. Growing awareness of environmental issues has ultimately sparked interest in organic cosmetic brushes. UND GRETEL brushes are made from sustainable and recycled materials: powdered wheat straw and a bioplastic made from corn starch for the handles, and recycled bioplastic for the soft, shiny, and easily washable bristles. This reduces resource consumption and prevents animal suffering.
