Types of makeup brushes and their functions: Learn how to use the right brush with your makeup.


I always see at pharmacies or beauty shops shelves of many different types of makeup and brushes and it can be quite hard to guess what each one is for because they can look similar and it can be confusing sometimes.  I can remember before get into the beauty industry; I was always wondered why we need all those makeup brushes.  To use the right makeup brushes will allow you to get better results and looking more professional. They help makeup blend better to your skin.

 Here you find some main types of brushes and its functionality: 




Brow comb and brush: the brush side is used to comb the eyebrow and the little comb removes (clutter) from your eyelashes and align them




Powder brush: It helps to smooth the powder all-round the face and gives the makeup a good finish. Have to be used in circular motion











Highlighter brush: used to illuminate and enhance the look. You use it especially for apply highlight shades, Ensures a more beautiful and professional look. 










Liquid foundation brush: Great for spreading the base evenly and leave the makeup more natural and less cluttered. Because of its shapes, fits perfectly around the eyes
















Angled Face brush: Use this brush to apply powders and mineral foundations around the eyes and nose area.  Or, use it as a blusher to contour cheeks!  It's a great multi-tasker for detailed makeup application








Eye liner brush: The anatomical model used for making a smoky eyes effect when you apply a pencil and eyeliner on the eyes. This brush is also excellent to fill out the eyebrows with tint. The result is a more outcome and lighter look





Lip liner Brush: It allows you to use less lipstick but it also can be used to soften the line of your lip liner. With the brush, you can blend it right into the lipstick so that it is not visible. It can fit perfectly on your lips shape to fill it with least chances of mistake. 



Eye shadow brush: This model is used to smudging eye shadow. This brush fit well inside the eyes corners thanks to its shape.













Concealer brush: ideal to use with powder concealer  under the eye area. It is also recommended for precise application in small areas.









Mineral foundation Brush (buffer brush): Use this brush to buff the loose powder into your skin to achieve a highly blended look. The more you buff, the smoother the application of your foundation. To achieve more coverage, simply apply another layer.






Contouring Blush: It’s good for accentuate, contour and blend Mineral Foundation or Bronze. Designed with the ideal brush to glide effortlessly over the contours of the face.
Perfect for precision application of Mineral Foundation or dusting off excess powder.





Please clean your brushes properly:  Dirty brushes are a place for bacteria, which can led to acne, clogged pores, and impurities on your skin. You don’t need to by a brusher cleaner for this, you can dab some shampoo into the palm of your hand and swirling the brush around in it under warm water should do the trick. Facial cleaners work well too. After that you can make a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Dip the brush into the vinegar solution and rinse in clean warm water.
I hope this information can help you to apply better makeup and even perhaps saving yourself some money by doing your own makeup for parties and events with a professional touch.
