Another day, another makeup product that needs to be demystified. In an age when it can feel like every makeup product requires three or four separate tools to use and a master's degree to perfect, it can be hard to know which tools you actually need and how to use them. We consider concealer brushes to be an essential, and even though many look the same, they serve different purposes. There are different concealer brushes for creating a vivid, over-the-top cut crease, for covering up dark circles around your eyes, and for covering blemishes.

We're here to help you find the best concealer brush for your needs. Below, we're highlighting 11 of our favorite concealer brushes based on user reviews, top-rated picks, and a look inside our own makeup cabinet. Read on for the best of the best, so you can find the perfect brush for the perfect application.
