Powder brushes

Powder brushes are an essential tool for creating an even, matte finish on the skin. When choosing brushes, you should give preference to fluffy, large and soft brushes that will not spoil the cream base. In addition, the contours of the brushes should be slightly rounded so that they can easily follow the contours of the face.

Eyeshadow brushes

An eyeliner brush is a small brush shaped like a needle. It is used for eyeliner (if liquid mascara is used), for lining lips and for masking wrinkles. When choosing such a brush, you should pay attention to its thinness and precision.

Eyelid applicator

Eyelid applicators are used to blend color transitions and contours, so they need to hold powder well. In this regard, they should have foam tips. There should be several applicators, their shape can be different, it all depends on preferences and makeup style.

Lip brush

A lip brush is designed to even out layers of lipstick, to enhance the definition of lips and to fill in the contours of lips that have been outlined with a pencil. When choosing such a brush, you should pay attention to its shape and softness.

Blush brush

The blush brush must be slightly angled at the front. In addition, it should be soft and fluffy in order to evenly apply blush to the cheeks.
