Makeup artists use brushes to apply makeup evenly and smoothly. Here are the basics to help you achieve that professional look:
1. Concealer
Use a concealer brush to make blemishes and under-eye circles vanish without a trace.
2. Eyes
Choose a brush made with natural goat hair. It's extra gentle for blending around the delicate eye area.
3. Brows
The specific shape of a slanted or angled brush helps fill-in brows and expertly lines eyes.
4. Lips
The sharp edges of a lip brush allow precise application of lipstick. Retractable styles even come with a protective cover.
5. Blush
A large, round shape contours to cheekbones and helps deposit the right amount of colour.
6. Face
Look for a brush that is oversized and soft. Use powder as your final step to set makeup.
Brush Care
To wash your brushes, use a mild shampoo, rinse well, and lay flat on a towel to let them air dry. Do this about once a month.
