'It's a fantastic brush' - Sienna Miller just convinced me to buy this beauty tool that 'feels like a finger'

When it comes to beauty product recommendations, my ears always prick up when it's from Sienna Miller. A fan of minimal make-up, her natural, less-is-more style is one I'm always interested to know how she achieves.

In a video filmed in late 2023, Sienna revealed exactly what she keeps in her beauty bag - giving me all the insight I need. I was hoping she might mention what she considers the best lightweight foundation, but instead my interest was piqued by what the actress described as a 'finger brush' and 'the best concealer'.

Speaking about Glossier's Stretch Balm Concealer and the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Concealer brush, Sienna said: "Oh this is the best concealer, and I use that with something that my makeup artist Wendy got for me, which is the best thing I've ever been given - it's a Pat McGrath finger brush.

"It feels like a finger, and I really do all of my makeup and skincare with my hands - until I was given this, and now I use it for everything at the same time. It's a fantastic brush."

As someone who has never really mastered the art of knowing what brush to use and when, I too, just like Sienna, also use my hands for makeup and skincare. But a closer look at both of these products, and their versatility - the brush, in particular, convinced me to give them both a try. Sienna mentions not only using hers for concealer but other makeup application too, like eyeshadow.

As woman&home's Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona McKim agrees it's worth finding a brilliant brush or two for your kit. "Using the right tool for the job can make the difference between a passable face of makeup and a professional-standard one," says Fiona. "I'm not surprised this one's a corker. Pat McGrath is a legendary makeup artist with decades of experience, so she knows her stuff about what shape and texture of bristle works best with particular products. The dense, flat top here will lay down concealer without dispersing it into nothingness, while the narrow edge can get right into tricky spots like the side of the nose and corners of the eyes."

As for that Sienna video, the actress goes on to detail a number of other products I'm tempted by, including the iconic YSL Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen and A313 Vitamin A Retinol Cream, which Sienna described as a 'fantastic secret'. See the full contents of her beauty bag in the video below:
