Ever wonder how make-up artists are able to make model’s skin look absolutely perfect? Every stylist knows that cosmetic brushes are an essential item when it comes to applying facial products. Investing in quality brushes that are made from high grade fibers is crucial in creating a flawless finish. You can create a smooth finish by adding these cosmetic brushes to your daily routine.
Foundation Brush
The bristles of the foundation brush are tightly packed, allowing you to achieve a flawless finish. They often have a tapered tip to make liquid application easier. First, dampen the brush in warm water and squeeze out the excess. This will enable you to distribute the foundation evenly. You can also use a wedge sponge to blend any strokes you have along the way. The result is an almost airbrushed quality that looks amazing.
Concealer Brush
This flat, soft bristled brush has a pointed tip and a wider base. Simply load the brush with your favorite concealer and use under eyes or on any problem areas. By using a concealer brush, the product is more concentrated on the areas of concern.
Powder/Bronzer Brush
Instead of using the pad that comes with your compact powder or bronzer, consider using a powder brush. The bristles are full, rounded, and soft to the touch. Not only do these bristles pick up the appropriate amount of powder, but they distribute it evenly across the skin. After loading your brush with powder or bronzer, be sure to shake off any excess before use.
Fan Brush
The fan brush works best for loose powder or bronzer. The fine bristles are fanned out, and lightly sweep a thin layer of powder onto your face. Since it is angled, fan brushes are easier for getting into the angles and contours of your face, such as the under eyes and nose.
Eye Shadow Brush
Eye shadow brushes come in varying shapes and sizes depending on your preference. While some are large and flat with short bristles, others are angled and beveled, enabling you to create that perfect look. Cosmetic artists have three brushes that they use regularly to apply eye shadow makeup. These include:
- Large size: Large brushes are used to highlight the area directly under the brow.
- Medium size: These are used to distribute color evenly across the eyelid.
- Small size: The small size is perfect for lining the socket of the eye.
Lip Brush
Although some lipsticks are designed with an attached applicator, you’ll get better results by applying your lipstick with a lip brush. It even makes your lip color stay on longer. In order to achieve long-lasting lipstick, apply a thin layer of foundation over your lips. Dust with powder before applying your lipstick using your lipstick brush. Dust with another thin layer of powder, and your lipstick is set for the day.
Eyebrow Brush
Women who are wearing the bushy brow look this spring shouldn’t go without an eyebrow brush. Keep your eyebrows fully manicured by using hairspray or eyebrow gel, and then shaping your eyebrows using your eyebrow brush.
Experimenting with cosmetic brushes is a fun way to create a new look. Purchase a new set of high quality cosmetic brushes, and spend some time recreating your signature look.
