What is that funny looking fan brush and why do I see women online using 7 different brushes to do their makeup?
Believe it or not, it actually makes a difference!
Each brush has a different purpose and can actually make the difference whether your makeup looks more natural, more airbrushed or just a hot mess. Read on dear friends....
Powder brushes. The number 1 job of a powder brush is to dust your face with loose or compact powder, without making you look like the ghost from Casper. A good powder brush will allow you to set and touch up your makeup without moving any of the other present makeup on your skin. A great powder brush is worth having in your bag to keep from wasting product you've already applied so you don't have to re-apply it, which not only saves you time & money but keeps you looking fresh and amazing!
What makeup brushes do I really need?
The subject of brushes owes as much to individual preference as to science and structure. Everyone has passionately-held beliefs about which brushes are best; the mere question of “natural or synthetic?” is enough to get makeup lovers arguing passionately for hours.
But the truth is that unless you’re a professional, you don’t need a collection of seven hundred makeup brushes; you really only need seven. Yes, you read that correctly. Here are the seven makeup brushes that you actually need.
1. A flat concealer brush or eye gel brush.
Flat concealer brushes or eye gel brushes, let you pick up and blend even thick products perfectly; the slightly pointed tip on this brush allows you to get very delicate with your application, which is brilliant.
Alternate uses: I love to use the flat side of concealer brushes & eye gel brushes to apply shimmery eye makeup; the firm bristles really let you pack it on, giving you a super-shiny finish. Just make sure you clean it well afterwards; nobody wants shiny under-eye circles!
