Makeup Brush Guide

Foundation Brush

Larger brushes are the best way to apply foundation. If you want to achieve a light coat, in order to avoid the “heavy mask” look, pick your tool well – use a brush if you think you will need to touch up on the foundation throughout the day. The foundation brush works perfectly with the contours of the face and jaw line, the tapered edge blends foundation smoothly and flawlessly.

Powder Brush

Brushes are recommended for powdering – a big, fluffy one works best, regardless of whether your powder is pressed or loose. It should spread the product evenly over your face, and the coat can be as light or heavy as you require.

Fan Brush

This brush perfects your powder application by gently wiping, dusting and redistributing the powder along the contours of your face. It will fan away any excess powder of particles, fine tune the powder for a more natural looking finish.

Concealer Brush

These brushes help apply the concealer more evenly over your skin, for a better end result. Simply use the brush to apply concealer over the exact area that requires attention.

Blush Brush

The bristles are arranged in a dome shape and tapered. Dome shaped brushes are best for applying blush, as the color will end up stronger in the center, and blended into the skin as it spreads outwards.

Contour Brush

For expert application of cheek contour. The fibers form a buffed edge and are soft and firmly bundled.                                                                

Eye Shadow Brush

For shading and blending eye shadow, suitable for powder eye shadows. A good eye shadow brush should be flat and large enough to apply shadow on the eyelid and the edge of the tip can be used to apply shadow in the crease of the eye. We recommend that you use separate brushes for eye makeup.

Highlight Brush

Use this brush to apply eye shadow across the eyelid and over the brow bone.

Mid-tone Brush

This tapered brush will apply mid-tone shadow perfectly along the crease.

Eye Smudge Brush

A soft-tipped foam applicator for applying powder, liquid or cream products. Tear-shaped tips allows soft delivery and blending of product, particularly around eye area.

Eyeliner Brush

If you use powder or cream eyeliner, you will find an eyeliner brush very useful. The tip presses firmly but softly on the lidstrich to allow concise application. If not, this brush can be passed up for others.

Lash Comb

A lash comb is designed to help separate your lashes despite clumpy mascara. Pick a metal one, as plastic versions are not as effective.        

Eyebrow Brush

Use this to shape and groom your brows. Use to define or add "fill". Its precise angled tip provides pro-style application. It is also helpful for blending eye brow pencil, for a smoother, natural look.

Lip Brush

For applying lipstick or lip gloss, and blending it with your lip liner. A good brush will achieve a far better effect than simply applying lipstick from a tube. Flat with square tip: loads the lips with color and distributes color evenly.

Sponge Tip Applicator

A soft-tipped foam applicator for applying powder, liquid or cream products. Tear-shaped tips allows soft delivery and blending of product, particularly around the eye area.
