WORKING WITH MAKE UP TOOLS

Image
Makeup Tools It is difficult to apply makeup properly without the right tools. By using the right tools properly, you can achieve the look you are aiming for.  A good brush for the application of blush, powder, lipstick and eyeshadow is made of real hair.  Brushes made of synthetic materials work well for the lips, foundations and concealers, however, the bristles of synthetic brushes do not hold makeup in powder form well. It is difficult to contour, blend, or smudge with synthetic brushes. The tips of real hair brushes are uncut and that makes them hold powder better.  A foundation brush is used mostly for dry foundation, but if you twirl it in your fingers, it can buff out areas of cream and liquid foundations that are streaky.  A Kabuki brush is great for applying powders and bronzers softly and evenly spreading it over the face.
