Makeup brushes and accessories

Good tools can make everyday makeup more precise and comfortable.

Different brushes are designed for different products and areas of the face.

Face brushes

Larger brushes can be used for:

• powder,
• blush,
• bronzer,
• highlighter,
• contour products.

Powder brush

A large, soft brush helps distribute powder lightly across the face.

Blush and bronzer brushes

Medium-sized or angled brushes can provide more control when applying colour to the cheeks.

Highlighter brush

A smaller brush allows more precise application to the cheekbones, nose and other selected areas.

Foundation brushes

Flat or dense brushes can be used with liquid and cream foundations.

Apply product in thin layers and build coverage gradually.

Eye brushes

Useful eye brushes include:

• flat shadow brushes,
• blending brushes,
• angled brushes,
• eyeliner brushes,
• detail brushes.

Blending brush

Soft, fluffy bristles help create smoother transitions between eyeshadow colours.

Angled brush

An angled brush can be used for brows, eyeliner or shadow close to the lash line.

Brow accessories

A spoolie brush helps shape brow hairs and distribute product more evenly.

Brush sets

A starter set may include:

1. powder brush,
2. blush or bronzer brush,
3. shadow brush,

Makeup sponges

Sponges can be used for foundation, concealer and cream products.

Rounded surfaces work well on larger areas, while pointed tips provide more precision.

Synthetic bristles
