Learn how to use the Tarte Shape Tape Blur Concealer Brush for a smooth, airbrushed finish. Step-by-step tips for flawless concealer application.

Quick answer

Use the Tarte Shape Tape Blur Concealer Brush with a stippling motion to blend concealer seamlessly, starting from the inner corner of your eye outward for a flawless, airbrushed finish.

Why the diamond shape matters

The diamond-shaped head of the Shape Tape Blur Concealer Brush is designed for precise application and blending. Its pointed tip reaches the inner eye corner and contours around the nose, while the wider side covers larger areas like under-eye circles or blemishes. This shape reduces the need for multiple tools.

Common mistake: using too much product

A common error is loading the brush with too much concealer, which leads to caking. Start with a small dot of product on the back of your hand, then dip the brush tip lightly. You can always add more, but removing excess is harder.

How to use the Shape Tape Blur Concealer Brush

Prep your skin: Apply your usual moisturizer and primer. Let them set for one minute so the concealer glides on smoothly. Skipping prep can cause patchy application.
Dot concealer on the area: Place a small dot of liquid concealer (like Tarte Shape Tape) on the back of your hand. Use the brush tip to pick up a tiny amount and apply it to the under-eye, blemish, or discoloration. Less is more—you can always build coverage.
Blend with a stippling motion: Using the diamond-shaped head, gently stipple (bounce) the brush over the concealer. Start from the inner corner and work outward. Avoid dragging or swiping, which can create streaks. Stippling keeps the finish airbrushed and natural.
Buff the edges: Use the wider side of the brush to buff the outer edges of the concealer into your foundation or bare skin. This prevents harsh lines. Blend well at the jawline or hairline for a seamless look.
Set with powder (optional): For long wear, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the area using a fluffy brush. Wait two minutes before checking for creasing. Setting powder helps prevent creasing, especially under the eyes.
