Make up brushes that you need

Makeup Brushes that you need

To create a work of art, whether on canvas or your eye crease, artists will often reach for a makeup brush. When it comes to makeup brushes, collect them like pirate treasure. Buy as many brushes as you can comfortably afford. Specialised makeup brushes will help us apply and blend colours to create different makeup looks. You’ll use your brushes every day and you won’t regret having a variety from which to choose.

Brush heads may be made from natural fibres like squirrel, goat or horse hair while others are made from synthetic fibres. There’s no better way to find your ideal brush, but be aware that some people are allergic to certain animal hairs.

                                                  

Short- Versus Long-Handled Brushes

Brush handles come in different lengths and weights, and which one you choose depends on your personal preference. Small hands might prefer short brush handles.

Let’s look at Face Brushes.

-We use face brushes to apply foundation, concealer, powders and blush.  

Foundation Brush: Used to apply foundation to the face and typically made from synthetic fibres. Most foundation brushes have a small, rounded brush head shaped like a tiny spatula.

Concealer Brush: Concealer brushes look like mini foundation brushes. Being smaller than foundation brushes make them better suited for covering blemishes or for applying liquid concealers in places like the corners of the eyes.

Blush Brush: They resemble small powder brushes with either a sloped or rounded tip. Works well when applying blush/bronzer on cheeks.

                            

Let’s look at Eye Brushes.

Eyebrow Brush: Eyebrow brushes have firm, angled brush heads like the tip of a marker. Use them to apply powders, creams or waxes to eyebrows.

Eye-shadow Brush: Not as stiff as an eye-shadow brush have square heads to evenly apply both powder and cream shadows to eyelids.

Blending Brush: Like the name implies, blending brushes are used to blend different coloured products and to wipe out harsh lines. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Not as firm as eye-shadow brush heads, the heads of blending brushes are usually tapered.

                                                  

Let’s look at Lip Brushes

                                                           

Lipstick brushes are mainly for those who work on your clients. You can’t use lipstick directly from the tube, so a small lip brush is ideal for application. This is a very flat brush that makes it easy to dip into a product and apply smoothly and evenly.

How to clean your brushes

Regularly cleaning makeup brushes extends their useful life. Some makeup lines sell liquid brush cleaning solutions, but baby shampoo and water also work well. Antibacterial wipes provide a quick way to clean brush heads in the car or whatever water would make a mess. After cleaning your brushes, reshape the brush heads with your fingers and line them up on the edge of a shelf or sink to dry.
