What's the difference between a Concealer Brush and an Eyeshadow Brush?

I know the Concealer Brush is for cream eye shadows and stuff, but can't I use an Eyeshadow Brush as a Concealer Brush or it won't work as well as a Concealer Brush? So, what exactly is the difference between the two if they're pretty much the same? Will Eyeshadow Brushes not do as well with cream eye shadows as Concealer Brushes?

    concealer brushes work best for concealing blemishes, under-eye circles and other stuff you might want to cover up.

    eyeshadow brushes, it all depends on how firm (?) the bristles are.

    if the bristles are quite firm, it works well for any kind of eyeshadow, liquid, cream or powder.

    if the bristles are pretty soft and flexible, then it's better for just powder eyeshadows.

    tbh concealer brushes are just eyeshadow brushes with a different name.

    they want you to spend more money, but i guess theres a hygiene issue involved too.

    bcuz you don't really wanna be using something on a blemish then putting the same brush near your eye.

    it's just better to have a brush for each i guess.

    Concealer brushes have synthetic hairs which are able to pick up cream and liquid product better. Eyeshadow brushes have real hair on it and picks up powder better. Concealer brushes are usually orange or tanish-black. They feel different than eyeshadow brushes. You can use concealer brushes for eyeshadow. But if you use a eyeshadow brush for concealer, it really wouldn't do what it's supposed to do which is cover blemishes because the hairs aren't stiff enough.

    The package will tell you if the brushes are real or synthetic, don't listen to that dork. If you buy brushes from the same place same brand same package, they'll all be the same material.

    The difference is the density of the hairs, and the length. They are very close but you'll notice vwhen used they were specially formulated for specific use and work best when used in that way. :)

    nicely in case you utilize the Eyeshadow brush,it wont relatively smear it around plenty even though it's going to make little lines on your face so its relatively undesirable in case you utilize it! in case you utilize a much bigger brush unlike a eyeshadow brush itll be extra extra appropriate as a results of fact itll smear and canopy up extra of your face! yet what ever works for you,as a results of fact its no longer as much as me lol
