Do Not Skip the Brush


Most women, especially those in a hurry, use their fingers to apply shadows and creams, even lipsticks; unless you want wrinkles, and an uneven application use professional brushes.

Their is a brush for almost everything:
Eye cream: use a concealer brush and gently apply it inward toward the center of your eye.
Concealer: use a concealer brush.
Foundation: use a flat foundation brush for liquids and a larger kabuki brush for powders.
Blush: use a brush brush or a fan brush for a more intense look.
Brows: use an angle brush.
Eye line: use an angle brush with powder for a softer look or use an angle brush with liquid liner for a 
               precise and intense look. (These are just brush options using a pencil is fine).
Eye shadow: DO NOT use your fingers. Use a basic medium shadow brush to pat on the colors where  
                      desired, then use a contour brush to softly blend any lines; careful not to mix the colors
                      to much for this can make the color look "muddy".

BRUSH TIP: Flat brushes were designed to pat the makeup into the skin, not sweep. Round brushes were made to sweep, blend, and smooth makeup.

Have fun,
