Face Brushes
Foundation Brush
When to use it:
To apply liquid or cream foundations.
How to use it:
Pick up some foundation from the back of your hand with the brush. Start applying the makeup in the center of the face so that you can blend outwards and avoid noticeable makeup lines.
Use broad, downward strokes to sweep and blend the makeup onto the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. Finally use the tapered edges of the brush to blend the makeup into those hard-to-reach areas, like the corners of the nose, hairline and around the eyes and mouth.
Why you use it:
The densely packed bristles pick up foundation easily and distribute it evenly onto your skin so you get a smooth and flawless finish.
Rounded Powder & Blush Brush
When to use it:
To apply loose or pressed powders and bronzers.
How to use it:
Dip the brush into the powder and swirl. Don’t press hard or load up your brush with too much powder. Tap the brush to shake off excess powder.
Brush powder onto face using light pressure. Use a small circular motion for the best possible coverage.
Start at the jaw line and work your way in to the nose area. Then move to the chin area and the forehead. Apply a small amount of powder to the neck area to create a natural, finished look.
Don’t forget this step or your face may end up looking like it’s a different shade than your neck, especially if you use a darker shade of powder.
Why you use it:
With long, fluffy bristles, this brush evenly distributes powder onto your face without dispensing too much of it (so it doesn’t look cakey).
Angled Blush & Conturing Brush
When to use it:
To apply your powder blush as well as your cream blush.
How to use it:
Swirl the bristles on the apples of your cheeks, then hold it at an angle and glide it along your cheekbones.
Try running it alongside your nose with bronzer on both sides starting from the beginning of the brow towards the tip of your nose.
Lay the brush in the hollow of the cheek, again starting from the back moving towards the center.
Why you use it:
Using an angled brush makes the cheek colour looks more natural because it improves precision and its better for sculpting and contouring your face.
Flat Foundation Brush
When to use it:
To apply full cover and long wear foundations, setting powders, mineral powders, BB & CC creams.
How to use it:
Dip the brush into foundation and buff gently onto skin using a circular motion. Start on the center of the face working outwards, blending towards the hairline.
Why you use it:
To get sheer, lightweight coverage. Because you’re pressing the makeup into your skin, rather than sweeping or buffing it on, it’s also great for ladies with acne scars.
Angled Contour & Blush Brush
When to use it:
To apply liquid, powder & cream formulations.
How to use it:
Use the corner edge of the brush to apply color precisely. Use beneath the cheekbone for a contoured cheek look.
The flat circular top of the brush puts cheek colour down on top of the cheekbone in one sweep. Apply a light sweep of blush for a soft rosy finish.
Why you use it:
The angled head fits the natural hollows of your cheeks, and the soft, incredibly dense bristles pick up your bronzer and deposit it onto your skin with minimal fallout.
Mineral Powder Brush
When to use it:
To apply both loose and compact mineral powders or any other pressed or loose powder, foundation, bronzer or blush.
How to use it:
Dip into the powder and sweep over the face in circular motions for full foundation coverage or glide over cheekbones for adding defined blush color.
Why you use it:
To provide full coverage and to reach the hard-to-reach crevices of the face to create a smooth and even canvas.
Kabuki Brush
When to use it:
To apply powder, liquid or cream foundation, blush, highlighter or bronzer—or as a finishing step to blend everything together.
How to use it:
Dip the brush gently into face powder or bronzer, tap the brush to remove any excess.
Sweep the brush lightly across your face, use downward strokes to apply makeup to your nose and cheeks.
For best results buff your skin in circular motions with your Kabuki Brush to provide even makeup disbursement and coverage. The more blending you do, the better your results!
Why you use it:
This is one of the most versatile brushes to use because the flat top and generous amount of bristles make it easy to blend out any type of product.
