Unraveling the Mystery of Makeup Brushes

Sure I have used makeup brushes forever, but I wondered, am I using the right one for the right application? I had to do some research on this and here is a brief summary of what I learned.

First off, you can buy tons of brushes to help make your makeup application flawless. However, the (5) I am going to talk about are the basic ones to have in your toolbox - I mean Makeup Bag


1.POWDER BRUSH
The largest and used to apply loose powder, typically after you apply foundation. It can also double as a tool for blending makeup.

2.BLUSH BRUSH
A bit smaller and not as full as the POWDER BRUSH.  Use it to apply cheek color powder (blush or bronzer). This is a good one to use to apply contour color too.

3.LARGE EYE SHADOW BRUSH
Great for applying lighter eye shadow pigments - better with firm bristles to give you more control over placement and less drop-off.

4.MEDIUM EYE SHADOW BRUSH
Ideal for applying darker eye shadow pigments- also better with firm bristles for better control

5.ANGLE BRUSH
My personal favorite! This brush is flat and angled and great for applying eyebrow color as well as powder and gel liner around the eye.
