Types Of Makeup Brushes and Their Uses
Smudger Brush
This brush blends kajal, kohl, or any color pigment on the eye, as the name suggests. It provides a natural look and can again be used to apply color on the portion close to the tear duct area.
Eyeshadow Blending Brush
Slightly more prominent than a pencil but very compressed, this brush helps blend the eyeshadow well. It is especially useful when two or more colors are applied to the eye. Gradation makes it possible for one color to shade immediately into another without an abrupt change of tone.
The Foundation Brush
This brush is used to blend your foundation for that perfect, smooth complete finish of the skin. They are closely set and have a chiseled tip that makes applying the paint smooth. Applying the powder with a brush damped slightly makes it easier to achieve an even spread. Blend it on the center of the face and gently extend it to the hairline for the best results.
Beauty Blender
Currently famous in makeup, the beauty blender is used to apply and blend foundation, powders and products, creams, blushes, or any used product. It is just perfect to the highest degree! Sponges must be soaked in water first, then swell slightly and become more accessible to squeeze. Ensure that all the fluids are thoroughly squeezed out.
Blush Brush
This brush is typically soft and not as compact as the foundation brush. For blush, we only require a small amount of coverage. As it is fluffy, it dispenses only as much of the product required on the face to serve the person’s needs. To use, you simply wet it and place it into the makeup, and what you get in return is very little. It is used in upward movement on the cheeks, especially cheekbones.
Eyeliner Brush
This brush is used to define the eyes and is the slimmest brush used in makeup. It is used every time and everywhere, and one has to draw the thinnest line. Sometimes the brushes included in the eye product do not meet users’ expectations. This is when these come in handy, providing much better control over the lining. Because they are very accurate, they can also be used to define the lips, such as a lip liner.
Powder Brush
Powder brush gives the skin a glowing look. Wet the brush in your preferred loose powder or compact face powder to apply. Massage it gently onto the face in circular motions so it is evenly covered with the product. It has a smooth finish since the bristles are dense.
Eyeshadow Brush
Compared to the previous brushes, this brush is packed on the lids to set the eyeshadow. Due to its U shape, it places the color on the eyelids to get highly pigmented.
Fan Brush
It is in the form of a fan and is used to focus on the face by lighting specific parts. It is thin and fan-shaped thus, it drops fine particles onto the face. It can be applied to the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin areas.
Contour Brush
These are used for contouring products to be applied onto the hollow of the cheekbone, edge of the forehead, and under the jaws to give an illusion of a slimmer face.
Silicone Makeup Sponge
The Makeup Silicone Sponge is the newest beauty tool. This tool is flat and transparent; with it, one can apply and blend creams, blushes, foundations, concealers, and almost everything. Best of all, it gives full coverage with less of the product.
