A professional makeup is, without a doubt, every girl’s dream. We look for magazines, videos and books about makeup and we buy the most expensive cosmetics together with those makeup brushes or a set of them but when it comes to using them and finally getting a look that we always want is in vain because we do not know how. to use them correctly. What you need to know is that the magazines and all other interviews are conducted by a professional makeup artist who has years of experience in the field itself and cannot get the look instantly. It is a slow process and it will definitely improve over time. Don’t worry about looking at those countless makeup brushes and gifting them to your friend. Here is everything you need to know about them:
1. Foundation brush:
This is a fancy brush used to apply or level foundation on the face (quite palpable from the name itself). Apply foundation dots to your face and sweep the brush out towards the hairline for a perfect finish.
2. Beauty blender:
Usually this is a cute sponge that is used to perfectly tone the skin. Use the widest side of the sponge all the way to your face out for a sleek finish.
3. Kabuki brush:
The widest brush in your game is the kabuki brush. It is used to apply powders or bronzers to the face and also works well for any visible hard lines. Remember not to powder your entire face with bronzer, but only along the temple, hairline, cheekbones and jaw in a perfect 3-way.
4. Dust brush:
Yes, you can also use kabuki to apply powder, but what if one is provided primarily for this purpose? It is a thick brush and is used to apply loose powder to the face. Make sure too much powder doesn’t stain your foundation.
5. Angled blush brush:
This angled brush is meant to highlight your cheekbones. Dab some blush on your cheeks and brush outward.
6. Healing brush:
It is a fine brush that is used to cover blemishes or dark circles that are not covered by a foundation. Apply a little concealer in the areas with the help of a brush.
7. Eyeshadow brush:
As the name suggests, it is used to apply powder or cream eyeshadow for eye makeup.
8. Eyebrow comb:
It is a bi-directional brush used to shape the eyebrows. Use the thick end to wrinkle the brow and comb with another one after applying the brow pencil.
So these are the basic makeup brushes and the next time you decide on a makeup session make sure you use them correctly.
