Liquid Concealer vs. Stick Concealer: Which Is Right for You?

 

Choosing the right concealer depends on your coverage needs, skin type & lifestyle. If you prefer a lightweight, blendable formula that can provide sheer to full coverage, a liquid concealer is your best bet. It works well for all skin types, especially oily or combination skin & is great for brightening the undereye area, concealing redness & covering larger areas. The thin, fluid texture makes blending seamless with a sponge, brush, or fingertips, giving you a natural or full-coverage finish depending on how much you apply. tarte™’s shape tape™ full-coverage concealer is a go-to for a 16-hour, crease-proof, matte finish with intense coverage that won’t budge.

If you’re looking for quick, targeted coverage that’s portable & easy to use, a concealer stick might be the better choice. The formula is ideal for normal to dry skin, thanks to its creamy, hydrating formula that glides smoothly without caking. Unlike liquid concealers, which require blending tools for the best finish, a concealer stick can be swiped directly onto the skin & blended out with your fingers. This makes it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, spot-concealing blemishes & achieving a soft-focus, blurred effect. The shape tape™ blur concealer stick delivers buildable, medium coverage with a natural matte finish that instantly smooths the appearance of pores & fine lines.

Which concealer is right for you? If you want full glam, long-wear & brightening effects, go with a liquid concealer like shape tape™ full-coverage concealer. If you need something quick, convenient & easy to apply, try the shape tape™ blur concealer stick for a softer, more natural finish. Both formulas are buildable, long-wearing & packed with skin-loving ingredients, so you can’t go wrong. For the ultimate flawless look, use both together—liquid for full coverage & stick for touch-ups throughout the day.
