Brush guide

Hi guys.   I thought I would post a little guide to makeup brushes.  I get lots of questions asking what each brush is best used for.  Some people have no idea where to start.  So the picture is of the basics.  

(Left to right) 
1 - I use this to apply, blend and buff my foundation.  It is so soft.  I put foundation on a palette/back of my hand, and lightly tap the brush so that it picks up some product.  You can then very gently apply to the face in circular motions. 

2 - flat foundation brush.  Used to apply product foundation also.  This is good to get into harder to reach areas such as next to the nose.  I also use this for my concealer.  It's great for under the eyes.  

3 - powder brush.  This is large and fluffy but still quite dense. It is great to apply setting powder, bronzer etc.  

4 - blush brush.  This brush is great for powder blushes to dust onto the cheeks.  You can also use this also to contour. 

5,6 & 7 - these are for the eyes. 1st is to apply the eyeshadow, 2nd to blend and 3 rd to apply gel eye liner.  

This is just a basic guide, you can use any brush for whatever you are comfortable with.  You may personally prefer to use the brushes in a different way once you build your confidence or build up a bigger brush collection.  It Carlos depend on the actual products you use.  I am happy to advise on this. 

Remember.  Cleanse brushes after each use and wash once a week to keep them clean, fresh and longer lasting!

Any questions please feel free to ask x
