There are so many brushes out there and choosing the right one to apply your makeup can become a headache. Follow this guide to know which brushes to use for every part of your face.
I. Foundation Brushes for a Smooth and Flawless Complexion
1. For your Foundation
When applying a cream or liquid foundation, we need: Either a large flat brush that's round on the end (Foundation brush) and will blend everything together without leaving lines. Its bristles and shape help you easily blend the product onto your skin for an even complexion!
How to use? Place some foundation on your hand, on the brush or directly onto your face. Put some of the product onto the center of the face and blend it outwards in a back-and-forth movement, remembering to spread it to the hairline, the neck and around the nostrils to make sure that there are no lines.
Another option is to use a Foundation Sponge, which is the ideal accessory to apply foundation and liquid or cream concealers. Its pointed tip means you can be precise in your application: dark circles, around the nostrils... The rounded end perfectly evens out your complexion for a natural and adjustable look.
How to use? Lightly wet your Foundation Sponge and dry it with a clean cloth. Place a small amount of product on the sponge or directly onto your face. Apply your foundation or concealer by dabbing with the sponge. The pointed end allows you to apply your concealer with precision while the curved side evens out your foundation.
