Excellent Brush When Cared for Properly
As is usual for Hourglass's brushes, this brush is dense, at a great firmness level for application and blending, yet has incredibly gentle, soft bristles :-) A note re care (which I wanted to now note re the retractable foundation brush, in answer to a user's misguided 1-star review, but I can't add to my existing review): makeup brushes (similar to paint brushes, so I confirmed some info. with a painter) should only ever be cleaned with a gentle, water-soluble product, unless one needs to clean them quickly, say between clients or friends, and then a spray cleanser which contains alcohol w cleanser will work to both clean and dry quickly, but will also shorten bristle life. If a makeup brush is washed with a harsh cleanser (many face cleansers fall into this category), then the bristles will be negatively affected. Synthetic bristles (s/as Hourglass') can even have their composition chemically change, if a harsh cleanser is used. Thus, wonderfully soft brushes can become stiff, and/or break. Also, leaving a makeup brush in gel/liquid cleanser can very negatively affect the brush, whether made with animal hair or synthetic material(s). Capillary action will cause the cleanser to go up to the ferrule, and can both dissolve the glue holding in the bristles, rust the usually-metal ferrule, and deposit cleanser in an area where it can stay for a long time. (This is also why, after cleansing, a makeup brush should never be placed handle-side down, until it has completely dried.)

Concealer brush
This brush is a total waste of money for me it literally brought out all my eyelines and did not move the product about well as I don't use alot of concealer. Maybe the larger brush would have been better. This brush is not fluffy enough to help move the concealer about my sponge works better so was a waste of money

Wonderful
Truly a great brush, the bristles are incredibly soft and do not fall out. The brush cleans like a dream and looks great too. I actually prefer this one to the ‘Seamless Finish’ brush as it gives a better finish in my opinion. I definitely recommend!

Get the Seamless finish instead
I love hourglass brushes, I now own the whole collection!! They are so soft and blend really well, but the the seamless finish ones are much better than this one. However, they don't absorb too much of the product, so you aren't wasting anything. The bristles are so soft, but don't fall out, and are easy to wash. I have sensitive skin, but have never had an issue with these brushes.

Great little concealer brush
I really like this brush! Really great for getting at the creases under the eye and the bristles are really nice and soft. Would recommend and worth the price although would be good to get it on sale and quite pricey! Like the colour and design of the brush also, looks and feel very luxurious

Is a Nice brush
A nice brush that is adequate. Personally wish it was a bit bigger and fuller. Had several Trish McEvoy brushes used for concealer that are no longer available on line. Those are still my favorite but dont know if the quality has changed. Will actually go to store and look for what is available in the Trish line.

Amazing quality!
I’ve been trying to upgrade my brush game recently and this brush is so worth the investment! Blends out concealer like a dream, very high quality and an investment that I’m sure with sit in my makeup draw for a long time! Pairs lovely with the hourglass concealer!
