Makeup brushes
You’ve never used makeup brushes? Think they’re only for makeup artists because they’re too difficult to handle? Well, think again!
Makeup brushes are the basic tools of any good makeup routine. Once you’ve mastered how to use them, applying makeup will become much easier and faster. You’ll never go without them again!
For flawless makeup, you’ll need these 6 basic brushes:
- Powder brush
- Blush brush
- Sponge applicator brush
- Eye sculpting brush
- Angled eye-shadow brush
- Lip brush
When purchasing brushes, keep these two tips in mind:
- Choose brushes with a long handle, since these are easier to use.
- Choose brushes made of natural fibres; they last longer, are softer and provide a smoother finish.
What each brush does
Powder brush: used to apply powdered foundation or bronzing powder; provides a natural look and a light, translucent effect.
Blush brush: to define and sculpt facial features; it provides a healthy glow to cheeks, facial bones and cheekbones.
Sponge applicator brush: used to apply the base coat of eye shadow.
Eye sculpting brush: used to apply medium to dark shades into the crease of the eye and, with a gliding motion, blend the colour.
Angled eye-shadow brush: to create a line above the lashes using a dark eye shadow; it can also be used to define the eyebrows.
Lip brush: an essential tool for flawless application; it helps to soften the line of your lip liner and provides better coverage along the edges of your lips.
The cost of brushes varies based on their quality. You can expect to pay approximately $10 for a good quality brush. It’s a sound investment since these accessories can last up to 10 years when properly cared for!
