In today’s fast-moving beauty market, brands are looking for flexible cosmetic packaging solutions that reduce development time while maintaining performance and aesthetics. One common question we receive is:
Can a lip gloss tube also be used as a concealer tube?
The answer is yes—when the right technical and design conditions are met.
Below, we explain when a lip gloss tube is suitable for concealer packaging and how Alovey’s PETG cosmetic tubes support both applications.
Key Conditions for Using a Lip Gloss Tube as a Concealer Tube
Applicator Compatibility Matters
Concealers require precision and controlled application. A lip gloss tube can be used for concealer when it supports:
Doe-foot applicators for targeted spot correction
Flat or angled applicators for under-eye and facial areas
Flocked applicators for smooth pickup of cream and liquid formulas
Big brush applicators for serum or lightweight concealers needing fast blending
Choosing the right applicator ensures a better user experience and professional results.
Formula Viscosity And Dosage Control
Compared to lip gloss, concealers often have higher viscosity. This requires:
A well-matched wiper (insert) to control product pickup
Reduced excess product and cleaner application
Hygienic use, especially for sensitive eye-area products
Proper dosage control is essential to avoid mess and consumer dissatisfaction.
Material Safety & Formula Compatibility
Cosmetic packaging materials must be safe and stable. Lip gloss tubes used as concealer tube should be made from materials such as:
PETG, ABS, or PP
Resistant to oils, pigments, and active ingredients
Suitable for repeated facial use without contamination risks
Capacity & Ergonomic Design
For concealer applications, ideal tube sizes typically include:
5 ml, 8 ml, and 10 ml
Ergonomic shapes for precise handling
Transparent or semi-transparent designs to show shade and remaining product
These sizes align with consumer usage habits and pricing strategies.
Leak-Proof & Hygienic Performance
Because concealers are applied to delicate skin areas:
Strong sealing performance is critical
Tight tolerances between the cap, stem, and wiper help prevent leaks
Reliable construction ensures safe transport and daily use
The Innovative To Double-Head Concealer Tube
A double-head concealer tube elevates traditional lip gloss-style packaging by offering:
Two functions in one package (concealer + corrector, coverage + blending)
Improved efficiency—no need to switch products
Stronger shelf differentiation and premium visual impact
Space-saving and travel-friendly design
Higher perceived value, supporting mid- to high-end brand positioning
