It’s All About the Brushes |
When it comes to applying
makeup like a professional, using the right tools
can make all the difference. High-quality brushes
can help you achieve a smooth, even look. Here
are a few makeup artist tips and techniques you
can use every day to get a polished look. It’s
all a matter of using the right brush to get beautiful
results.
A Powder Brush
is a full, fluffy brush designed
to evenly distribute powder to the face. Sweep brush
across pressed powder or dip into loose powder;
tap gently to remove excess and apply to the face
from forehead to chin using long, light strokes. |

A Cheek Brush is used to accentuate
bone structure or add a healthy blush to cheeks.
Use the tip of this soft, angled brush to apply
color to the apples of the cheeks and stroke upward
along cheekbones, stopping just below the temples,
then blend. This brush is also a great tool to use
for applying bronzer. Apply across the bridge of
your nose, temples, cheekbones and shoulders for
a gorgeous, healthy looking glow. |

An Eye Definer Brush has bristles
that are tapered and rounded at the end to shape
and define eyes and blend color evenly. Sweep color
softly across the eyelid and then lightly above
the crease for a natural, yet polished look. |

An Eye Crease Brush has long, thin,
pointed bristles and is used with midtone and darker
shades of eye color to add depth to eyes. Begin
by placing the brush at the outer corner of the
eye and then sweep inward following the natural
crease. This brush can also be used to create a
smoky eye look. Using the brush tip, sweep softly
along lower lashes from the outer corner inward. |

|
An Eyeliner Brush is used to line
eyes and enhance sparse brows with eye color. This
flat, angled, short-bristle brush makes it easy
to apply a thin line of color along top and bottom
lashes. It's also a great tool to use for blending
your eyebrow pencil. |

|
Use an Eyebrow Brush to brush brows
in the opposite direction from which they grow to
remove any excess foundation. Gently brush back,
following their natural shape and direction, as
a finishing touch to your makeup application. |
