It is important to choose the right makeup color and formula for your skin. Once you have the right makeup, having the right tools to apply makeup is a definite plus! Of course, you don't have to have every brush out there, but you should have some good ones on hand. Here are some basic brushes for your powder, shade, lips and blush! Powder brush: If you wear powder, you should have one! This is usually a large, fluffy brush that helps to gently distribute your setting powder properly. Another option can be a puff or sponge, which you can put in a powder. Blush brush: If you wear blush and bronze, you'll need a blush brush! The brush made for this purpose is the perfect size for optimal application of blush powder. The miniature brush that comes with the compact blush is not enough to apply these products in large quantities. The brush head should be about the size of a cheek apple and smaller than a paint. Using a brush that is too small will make your blush look like small streaks, and you definitely don't want that look!
Tilt Eyeliner Brush: This is a very useful brush to give your eyes a darker shade, you can also use this brush to apply eyeliner. In a pinch, Q-tip can replace this brush!
Shadow brushes: Eyeshadow brushes come in several different sizes. If you cover the entire eyelid with one color, use one of the larger brushes. To apply a darker shade to the crease of the eye, you need to use a smaller head on the shadow brush. The optional brush you can use on your eyes is the applicator brush that blends them together seamlessly.
Foundation brush: Many women apply liquid foundation with their fingers. If you haven't tried applying foundation with a brush, you should! The brush really helps to blend the foundation properly on the skin. Some people use foam wedges to mix, which is also good, but be sure to keep it clean and hygienic. Of course, brushes are a must-have for applying foundation and mineral foundation formulas.
Eyelash Comb/Eyebrow Beautician : This is a great tool to keep your appearance smooth, especially if you apply mascara because you can comb the clumps instead of using pins and other unsafe tools to fix your lashes. For eyebrows, you can use a little petroleum jelly, lip balm, or products specifically designed to tame the eyebrows on the eyebrows, and then comb the eyebrows outward for a neat and finished look. Lip brush: This is a good brush if you apply lip gloss or lipstick. Use a small lip brush for great control over the application and control of lip color. If you use lipstick in a tube, simply "dip" the brush in the lipstick and apply it to the lips. You'll see how much difference this brush can make!
If you want to experiment with brushes, you can find most basic brushes packed together. Just like makeup, brushes come in a variety of price points, depending on their material and maker. The bristles are available in natural and synthetic materials, and the handle can be made of anything from plastic to wood. Buying a set of "pre-packaged" brushes is a great way to experiment with brushes and see which ones you'll really use every day before you invest in more expensive ones.
