Properly selected make-up brushes and the ability to use them allow you to achieve a perfect look. It is also important to keep them clean and durable. How to use makeup brushes to create the perfect make-up - here's a guide to help you choose one.
HOW TO USE BRUSHES FOR FOUNDATION
A wide and flat-cut foundation brush allows you to apply the cosmetic in appropriate amounts and spread it over the entire face. You can use it for the application of both liquid and creamy foundations, as well as for loose powders. Apply them from the inside with quick and sure movements towards the outside of the face.
HOW TO USE BRUSHES FOR CONCEALERS
Flat and not too wide concealer brushes usually have slightly longer bristles than similar eye makeup tools. The shaded bristles allow for perfect, spot covering of skin imperfections, such as dark circles under the eyes, discoloration or pimples. They can also be used to illuminate the face and make it look radiant. Use a brighter or illuminating concealer by brushing it under the eyes from the inside out and working towards the outside of the face, around the lobes of the nose or the bottom of the forehead.
HOW TO USE BRUSHES FOR POWDERS AND BLUSH
Thicker brushes with long hair are used to finish the make-up with powder and to emphasize the contours of the face with powder or bronzer. Use the powder brush to pick up a little of the cosmetic and lightly brush the face with it, working from the center towards its outer edges.
Face contouring brushes are characterized by oblique cut hair ends, which makes it easier to create a precise dosage of blush or bronzer, sharpen the contours of the face and emphasize the shape of the cheekbones. Also apply blush and bronzer from the center of the face, in this case from the place where the so-called "Apples" of cheekbones to the outer parts.
HOW TO USE BRUSHES FOR EYE MAKEUP
When applying eye makeup, do not forget to emphasize the eyebrows that will frame the entire face. Brushes with short, slanted bristles will be useful for styling them, allowing you to sharpen the contours of the eyebrows. Starting at their highest point, work towards their outer side, making quick short movements and adding a line of the selected shadow to the eyebrows throughout their entire surface.
Use short bristle brushes or a sponge to apply the shadows on the eyelids. You can use a sponge to apply the base shadow over the entire eyelid, then supplemented with other colors. Bristle brushes will allow you to create a more precise drawing and blending shadows.
HOW TO USE BRUSHES FOR LIPSTICKS
Thin brushes with cat's tongue bristles facilitate precise application of lipsticks on the lips. You can use them both to apply and blend solid, liquid and lip gloss to achieve the effect you want.
HOW TO USE PROPER CARE OF MAKEUP BRUSHES
When using make-up brushes, do not forget to clean them regularly. They should be washed at least once a week, in warm water with a little mild shampoo. It is also worth applying a little conditioner on the hair and rinsing it thoroughly. Then we dry them in a horizontal position, which will prevent water from running down to the center of the brushes and the bristles from falling out. Thanks to this, they will retain their quality for longer and allow you to create the perfect make-up for any occasion.
