Most makeup brands sell a range of makeup brushes to compliment their makeup. Good quality makeup brushes made from high quality fibers or hair can be pricey. You can either purchase all your brushes from your favorite brand or mix and match those you prefer or to get better value. So if you don’t know your contour blender from your smudge stick, brush up your tool knowledge with my tip top guide.
Foundation Brush
Designed to achieve a smooth and flawless finish, the bristles are tightly packed with a tapered tip for fluid application.
Dampen the brush first in warm water and firmly squeeze the excess into a towel or tissue, this will help achieve a more even distribution.
You can also blend any brush strokes as you go with a damp natural or wedge sponge.
Concealer Brush
A soft bristled, flat brush with a wider base and a pointed tip.
Use to apply concealer under the eyes, to spots and to camouflage problem areas such as broken capillaries and areas of discoloration.
Duo Fiber Brush
Made from a blend of goat and synthetic fibers this brush is ideal for buffing and blending color.
The flat, circular, feathery head provides lightweight and build-able coverage of liquid, cream or powder.
Use to blend cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks or for a light dusting of shimmer powder to your cheek and brow bones.
Powder Brush
Soft, full and rounded, this brush can be used for both compact powder and bronzer.
The bristles pick up the perfect amount of colour and distribute flawlessly onto the skin.
Load your brush with the powder and shake away any excess before sweeping onto the skin.
Fan Brush
Created for use with loose powder, the fine fan sweeps a light dusting of powder onto the skin for a soft, velvety effect.
This application technique avoids heavy coverage which can highlight fine lines and imperfections.
These brushes are also used to remove excess powder on the face, particularly after eyeshadow application..
Blusher Brush
Made with fine, gentle fibres the blusher brush has a rounded head which is perfect for giving a pop of colour to the apples of your cheeks.
Sweep and blend along your cheekbone drawing the brush up into your hairline
Face Contour Brush
Slanted and rounded in shape, the contour brush mimics the angles of your cheekbones.
This is ideal for highlighting and shading with bronzer or illuminating powder.
Use with cream, gel or powder to contour a sculpted finish for a defined and dramatic makeup.
Eyeshadow Brush
Large, flat, short and brimming with bristles for excellent coverage.
The soft bristles have a beveled edge for a smooth application without ‘dragging’ the eyelid.
Use to apply all over colour.
BLENDING EYE SHADOW BRUSH
Use this light brush to blend eye colours and to highlight the brow bone.
FINE POINT EYELINER BRUSH
The extra fine tip of this brush delivers precise liquid and gel eyeliner application. A perfect line can be achieved in one stroke, or use the point to dot in between lashes for a more subtle effect.
