Perfect makeup doesn’t only mean using the right products, correct application tools and techniques are equally important. A wrong makeup brush can completely change the effects of any makeup product. Being aware of the correct makeup brush and its proper application style is the key to achieving a glamorous look. If you use a small brush, the face might look cakey and an excessively larger one might lead to an imbalanced product deposition on the face.
One might get confused in identifying the accurate makeup brush for particular products. Makeup experts at Noir Salon Punjabi Bagh have made it easy by listing the usage and type of commonly used makeup brushes in a simple manner. Indu Yadav, a professional makeup artist at Noir salon says, “Knowledge of tools is as important as the products for a makeup that deserves a second look.”
Foundation Brush – A foundation brush has a flat top with short bristles for easy blending. It helps in perfect buffing without losing the foundation in the bristles. As you start blending in a circular motion in the same direction, this brush ensures that the makeup doesn’t look cakey or washed up.
Concealer Brush – A concealer brush is the best for hiding the dark spots and blemishes with even coverage. This brush has a small head with densely packed bristles and a tapered shape at the end. The long handle allows you to hold it easily to get rid of blotchy makeup.
Blush Brush – A blush brush is an ideal choice for blending loose and pressed powder products. Indu Yadav recommends using a small-sized brush to center the cheekbones easily. The blush brush is generally smaller than a foundation brush and has dome-shaped super soft bristles.
Eyebrow Brush – The eyebrow brush is best for creating fluffy natural-looking brows. This brush has an angled square end to help you be precise with the application. Spoolie in the end helps to soften the strokes so that the brows look natural and dark.
Eye Brush or Smudge Brush – An eye brush is a perfect companion to achieve a trendy smoky eye look. It allows to easily smudge the kohl liner on the upper lid and use it as an eye shadow. The smudge brush is quite soft, less dense, and has a round shape.
Highlighter Brush – A highlighter brush is also called a stippling brush. Its shape depends on the level of highlights required. An angled and stiff brush with short and packed bristles is perfect for a super bright and opaque glow effect. For a diffused contouring effect, use a long, fan brush that has long bristles.
Lip Filler Brush – A lip filler brush helps you have perfectly lined lips by applying the lip color with precision. It helps to get rid of unwanted smudging and the flat part of the brush applies even lip color.
