Makeup Brush Functions

You own all these different brushes for makeup but do you really know what they're used for?

A) Powder: Best used in circular motions, this brush is used to finish off a look with powder foundation.
B) Angled Face: The angle of the brush allows for easier application of blush, makeup around the eyes & nose, and contouring the face.
C) Liquid Foundation: Bristles on these brushes tend to be more dense and close together. This make it easier to distribute the foundation evenly across the face as well as move easily around features.
D) Eye Shadow: Used for smudging and inner corners of the eyes, this brush is easier to maneuver around creases and corners.
E) Eyeliner: Using this brush to apply eyeliner makes for a smudgier, less polished look, great for a smoky eye.
F) Highlighter: This brush is used to apply highlighting colors to the face evenly and lightly to ensure a more natural look.
G) Buffer: This brush is used to buff loose powder into the skin for a longer stay as well a more finished look.

There are so many brushes and almost all of them can be used for other jobs and tasks. Don't be afraid to experiment! There are no rules when it comes to makeup!
