There are eight types of makeup brushes: foundation brush, loose powder brush, blush brush, concealer brush, eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush, eyebrow brush, and lip brush. No matter how confused the name is, the core purpose basically revolves around these eight.
1. Foundation brush
The foundation brush is a basic brush used to base the entire makeup. The shape of the bristles is roughly divided into two types, one is a flat brush head and the other is a cylindrical flat brush head.
The flat-headed foundation brush has a long, long and flexible head. It uses the elastic pressure of the brush itself to better press the foundation on the skin. The round-headed brush bristles are thick and elastic, which has a soothing effect on sensitive muscles. The foundation brush will smooth the fine lines or blemishes on the face. It is more even and lasting than the foundation of the hand makeup. When choosing a foundation brush, you should choose according to your own situation. The soft bristles will be more comfortable when you apply makeup. The pressure on the skin is not too great. A tighter, hard brush is more elastic and more saturated than a soft brush. If you have sensitive skin, choose a softer brush, such as squirrel hair. It is better to choose wool fiber material for cheap, which will not cause skin discomfort and allergies.
When using the foundation brush, apply force evenly, pay attention to the details of the eye bottom, nose and corners of the mouth. You can search for more videos of makeup experts on the Internet. If you use a good technique, you won’t bury a good brush.
2. Loose powder brush
The loose powder brush heads are generally divided into large round heads, small round heads and oblique triangle brush heads.
The big round head is mainly used to apply loose powder on a large area to achieve the effect of oil absorption and make-up. The small round head is mostly used for powder and glitter to brighten and modify the skin tone. The diagonal triangle is mostly used for highlighting and repairing to make the face more three-dimensional.
3. Blush brush
The shape of the blush brush has a natural round head. This brush type is suitable for painting natural and lovely round blush. The other is an oblique angle brush, which can draw oblique strips of blush and shadows, modify the shape of the face, and also make highlights. There are also relatively flat blush brushes.
When choosing, be sure to choose soft enough bristles, the soft bristles will not brush out one by one or uneven effect when applying blush. Do not choose too large a brush head, because the contact surface between the rounded corners and the skin is too large, which is not good for details. A moderate blush brush can modify the details, sweep out the shadows, and play a role in contouring, making the face look more refined and more three-dimensional.
4. Concealer brush
The brush head of the concealer brush is generally made of fine fibers. The brush head has a smaller shape and a flatter design that allows the concealer to be applied to the skin very evenly. It can easily cover dark circles, acne and other blemishes with a single stroke. The years leave no trace.
5. Eyeshadow brush
There are many shapes of eyeshadow brush heads, including flat, cylindrical, and beveled types; the eyeshadow brush heads made in Europe and the United States are too large, and the eyeshadow brush heads made in Asia are small, which are more suitable for Asian eyeshadow and eye sockets. .
Generally, flat-shaped eyeshadow brushes with tight bristles can make a large area of base, and the saturation of makeup will be higher. The eyeshadow brush with large and loose bristles creates a large area of smudging, which is more natural and soft with excessive edges. Cylindrical eyeshadow brush can be used to hit the eye sockets, and can also be used as a nose shadow brush to create a high nose bridge effect. The diagonal triangle eyeshadow brush is generally used to create the end of the eye, making the eyes look deeper and more natural.
6. Eyeliner brush
The eyeliner brush is divided into a large inner eyeliner brush, a small inner eyeliner brush, and an ordinary eyeliner brush that comes with ordinary eyeliner. The brush head is flat and has corners.
7, Eyebrow brush
The eyebrow brush can paint a natural eyebrow shape or a fine eyebrow shape. If you want a natural and soft eyebrow shape, choose an eyebrow brush with harder bristles and thicker bristles. If you want to create a fine eyebrow shape, choose an eyebrow brush with softer bristles and a thinner brush.
8. Lip brush
The lip brush can outline the shape of the lips, and the lips created by the lip brush are full and uniform in color and have a sharp outline. Take an appropriate amount of lipstick and apply it on the lower lip first and then the upper lip. Apply lip gloss or lip gloss to the center of the lower lip to create a seductive effect that is soft and shiny.
