1. Tips On Using Makeup Brushes For
That Flawless Finish

2. 1. Blush Brush
The blush brush is one of the most important brushes in your
makeup arsenal. A well made brush will help you achieve a
more natural glow by giving you better control as you
highlight the contours of your bone structure.
Natural hair brushes are the most recommended by makeup
professionals. The hair cuticle does the best job of lifting the
blush powder to blend it with the natural oils from your skin,
giving you a more realistic glow with fewer streaks or
blotches.

3. 2. Powder Brush
The powder brush that you choose should have a slightly
rounded, medium size head. This allows you to better
control your powder application, and only apply it to the
places you need it like the forehead, chin and nose.
Before you buy a powder brush, test it by running the
bristles across the back of your hand. It should feel
feathery at the tips, and the bristles should be clasped
tightly in the base; none of the bristles should shed.

4. 3. Foundation Brush
The best foundation brushes are a blend of natural with
synthetic bristles. It helps you achieve a more natural
look.
The natural hairs lift up the pigment powder while the
synthetic bristles keep the brush from absorbing too much
of your foundation and getting gloppy or clumpy. You'll
save money over the long run by using less makeup.
The head should be flat with a contour tip to allow easy
blending of your makeup, especially into tight places like
around your nose and eyes.

5. 4. Concealer Brush
The concealer brush that you choose should have a small
head with stiff bristles that allow you to dab make up
exactly onto the spots you need.
The best choice here is synthetic bristles, because they
don't absorb make up and allow for more precise
application.
The brush should be flat with very closely packed bristles.

6. 5. Shadow Brush
The eye shadow brush needs to be very soft and silky. You
don't want a brush that is too stiff and bristly.
You should have two shadow brushes; one with a flat head
for covering your eyelid and one with an angled head for
applying shadow to the crease.
