The Whole Makeup Brushes Collection!

As a professional artist, you need to have the smallest to the largest user friendly brushes to make the best out of your makeup techniques. This is where all types of makeup brushes make the difference worth noticing!

When you are applying compact powder or a finishing touch of gold dust, it needs to be all over the face; that is when the round powder brush comes into play. For blushing, get a blush brush that is dome shaped (no, not round or rectangular) to get that pretty flush on your cheeks. Eye shadow brushes comes in a variety but basically two main types should be the thin pointed one for the eye liner and second for applying eye shadow. Lip brushes however are rarely used because we either apply lipstick directly or the liquid lip color comes with an applicator. But when it comes to defining those fuller to thin or thin to fuller lips, lip brush is a must use tool!

The above mentioned brushes are the very basics, now let’s talk about the few most “must haves” for day-to-day makeup routines and parties!

The Basic Must-Have Brushes of All Times!

Choosing the Basic Brushes and Knowing Their Uses:

 Foundation Brush:

Since foundation is the “foundation” of everything made and built all around us, our face needs a foundation too! To support the makeup you apply, a layer of foundation is a must! Application of foundation depends on how sheer to full coverage you are planning for, e.g. if you have a fairly healthy skin with no blemishes or flaws at all, a thin and evenly absorbed layer of foundation is the answer for you, but if vice versa! Full coverage is nothing but the only option you’re left with. So, here the Foundation Brush smooths out the ground for you.

Designed to achieve a smooth and flawless finish, a foundation brush is fluffy but flattened, round tip brush to apply foundation easily in small gentle strokes throughout the face. The bristles are tightly packed with a tapered tip for controllable fluid application. First, dampen the brush in warm water and firmly squeeze the excess into a paper towel or tissue, this will help achieve a more even and flawless distribution.

 

Full Coverage/Powder/ Bronzer Brush:

Now that the foundation’s been done, loose or compact powder must be applied for a better base and to lock the foundation in its place. It can either be tinted or translucent, it’s totally upto you. But to apply the loose or compact powder perfectly and evenly onto your face, a full coverage face brush is needed. This wide and thick brush helps even skin tone by lightly dusting the powder evenly to create a perfect canvas for the latter makeup to be applied. This soft, full and rounded, brush can be used for both compact powder and bronzer. The fine bristles pick up the perfect amount of color and distribute evenly yet flawlessly onto the skin. Load your brush with the powder and shake away any excess before sweeping onto your face for a better professional finish!

 

Fan powder brush:

Created mainly for loose powder, the fine fan sweeps a light dusting of powder onto the skin for a soft and velvety effect. This technical application avoids heavy coverage which leads to highlighting fine lines and imperfections. This brush is also used to remove excess powder on the face, especially after eye -shadow applications. You can also use it on an angle to get a nice, even distribution of blush, bronzer or highlight for the face. The wide, flat shape also makes it great for evenly yet quickly applying body shimmer!

TIP: It’s better to keep the plastic cover on the brush when it’s not in use in order to maintain its shape.
