Any girl wants her makeup to be flawless. Cosmetic products produced by the modern industry allow every woman to look like you have just visited an experienced makeup artist every day. And the sets of cosmetic brushes help in this, allowing you to bring your appearance to perfection.
Makeup brushes: which one is for what
Now there are so many different brushes that it is not surprising to get confused in their purpose and name. Let's take a look at the basic brushes for home makeup.
- The very first brush we need to create good makeup is an overlay brush. tonal basis... There are several types of them, differing in material and pile length. Most makeup artists are confident that a brush with a short, but at the same time voluminous bristle behaves better in work. In this case, it is worth preferring synthetic material to natural pile. The fact is that natural pile absorbs the tonal agent, which means that it increases its consumption. This will not happen with synthetics.
- Another indispensable brush is used to apply concealer... Usually they are masked with dark shadows in the eye area, small pimples and scars.
- The finishing touch to a flawless complexion is done with a powder brush. This is usually a fairly voluminous brush, allowing you to easily cover your face with powder. At the same time, your movements will be light and fast, they will not damage the layer of foundation.
- For eye makeup small brushes are used. So a flat brush made of natural bristles is intended for applying pigment to the eyelid. For beginners, choose a brush with a short bristle and a rounded tip.
- Feather brushes allow you to achieve smooth tone transitions. In such a brush, the pile must be natural, elongated, slightly fluffy. The tip of the blending brush is rounded.
- Two types of brushes are used for eyeliner. It can be a brush with a very thin tip and dense bristles. Another type of brush is flat, with a short nap and a beveled edge.
- For lip makeup, use a small flat-shaped brush. It must be made of synthetic material.
- For superimposing blush it is better to use a fluffy brush with elongated bristles and a beveled end. In this case, it is better not to use the brushes that come with the blush - you risk getting bright stripes in the spirit of war paint on the cheeks instead of a gentle blush.
