The other products are applied later, but the foundation goes on the skin first (unless a primer is being used) and is called a base without which any makeup seems incomplete. Be it a foundation, compact, blush or any other makeup product. It is not my favourite way of blending concealer but it does work, especially to apply it around the eyelid.Makeup brushes are the basic necessity for applying any kind of makeup. After using the concealers doe foot applicator, I have sometimes taken the foundation brush to dab and blend in my concealer. It means small sections of the face can be touched up.Ī few times I have used this brush to apply concealer. For instance applying more foundation under the eyes or around the nose after already applying bronzer and blusher. For that reason I havent really used it, but it could be great for anyone hoping to apply foundation to small areas of the face when they have already applied makeup. This is less than half the size of a regular foundation brush, and more along the lines of a large eyeshadow brush. It is suggested to be a foundation brush, and fair enough if you like to use a tiny brush to apply foundation. In all honesty, this is the brush I use the least. The size of the brush means that you get just the right amount of product and shape to the upper cheek bones. In the same way as the bronzer, the contour brush can be used to apply highlighter to the tops of the cheeks. The contour brush can be swept easily over the under eye area, taking away any excess powders. After applying eyeshadow you may be left with powder fall out. The size of the brush also means that you can use it to clean up around your eyes. It really does work perfectly and I use this brush daily now. By sweeping the brush through your bronzer, you can run the brush along your hollows and the size of the brush means that the line is not too large and ridiculous. By dipping the ends of the bristles into a cream product or powder blush, the ends of the bristles could be patted onto the cheeks in a stippling motion, to apply a small amount of blush to particular areas of the face.įirst and foremost, as the name suggests, this brush is perfect for getting in to the hollows of the cheeks and forming the perfect contour line. This brush could be used with cream or powder blush really easily for a more stippled blush effect. It means that any fall out from the bronzer is swept away and you are left with a more defined line. For example, after applying bronzer to contour my cheeks, I run the buffing brush underneath the cheek hollow line to neaten up the contour line. It is so soft and truly gives the best foundation cover I have ever achieved.Īnother way in which I use this product is to clean up areas of the face after more makeup has been applied. The bristles massage the product around the skin so that no area is left more covered than another. Due to the style of the brush, it ensures that you apply just the right amount of product and your skin will not get cakey in the way you might find with a sponge.
It buffs liquid or mousse foundation into the skin flawlessly, leaving the skin perfectly covered. The primary use for this beauty I feel is foundation application. I’d love to know if you have any other ways in which you like to use them to apply your makeup. These are just a few ideas of how I use them. So, I decided I would write a post to show a few of the best ways that each of the four brushes can be used. A number of my friends have also asked me why they are so great and what exactly they can be used for. I have not stopped recommending them since and I am still shocked when a friend of mine has never heard of them. I watched a Youtube video showing them about six months ago and immediately went out to purchase on excellent recommendations. Included in the set is a buffing brush, contour brush, foundation brush and a detailer brush. And rightly so, they truly are a brilliant and must-have collection. The Core Collection brushes have become so popular recently.
