Topic: Brushes
Generally speaking, I hate standard concealer brushes. I find that the usual paddle shaped ones make concealing hard. Instead, eye shadow blending brushes tend to make the concealer disappear into my skin. I mainly use a MAC 217 with liquid concealers, but after switching to a cream based one I needed something with a more weight behind it. My answer was found in Revlon's Contour Shadow Brush.
As you can see, the brush is quite long - coming in at a full inch longer than the MAC 217. Here's a comparison shot of the two brush heads:
The 217 splays out wider while Revlon provides a bit more precise application.
The bristles are made of synthetic hairs and are a stiffer than the 217, which works in its favor as a concealer brush. As far as liquid blending, the 217 wins everytime, but when using a cream concealer, the Revlon Contour Shadow brush is the way to go. This brush can be found at Walmart for under $7.
