Brushes make all the difference in makeup application. Everyone from the most skilled makeup artist to the woman who wears only the bsics can benefit from using the right tools. Consider investing in at least a few key brushes. High-quality blush, eye shadow, eyebrow, and eyeliner brushes are basic. Good brushes are not hard to find. Look at those make by makekup artists' lines as well as less expensive versions available at beaurty and art supply stores. To find out which brushes you need and which ones are good quality, familiarize yourself with a variety of styles, shapes, and bristle types.
Assessing Brush Quality
Before purchasing brushes, you have to know what you are looking for and which brushes are worth-while investments. Assess the quality of a brush by testing the way the bristles feel against the skin and by running your fingers through the bristles to make sure that they don't shed. It's important to test how a brush feels when you hold it in your hand. It needs to feel comfortable and easy to maneuver.
Tips
Brush Size
The brushes that come with most makeup compacts are too small and narrow for proper blush application. Toss them and use a brush designed specifically for that purpose instead.
Natural Bristles
Natural bristles (such as squirrel, goat, pony, or sable) are very soft and offer a more blended, natural application. They're best for working with powder-based products-blush powder, and eye shadow.
Synthetic Bristles
Synthetic bristles are the best choice for brushes that will be used with creamy products, such as concealer, gel liners, and lip colours. They are generally stiffer than natural hair, so they give you greater control and more precise application.
