How To Use Make-Up Brushes


Step 1: Blusher brush
Use angled blusher brushes to get into the socket line and for applying highlighter to the tops of the cheeks. Blusher brushes are useful for applying powder to the whole face, giving a light even finish.

Step 2: Eye shadow brush
An eye shadow brush can be used to apply eye shadow all over the lid, and can be used to apply concealer into the tiny corners and lines of the eyes.

Step 3: Lipstick brush
A lipstick brush gives an even coverage of lipstick, and is wide but also thin and tapered for effective application in the ‘cupids bow' and lip corners.

Step 4: Eyeliner brush
An eyeliner brush, with long bristles and a fine point, can get in between eyelashes and gives very fine, neat detail.

Step 5: Care
If you use synthetic brushes, clean them regularly to keep them in good condition.

Ideally spend more to get brushes made from natural hair.

How to Clean Makeup Brushes

Step 1: Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.

Step 2: Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.

Step 3: Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.

Step 4: Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.

Step 5: Allow it to air-dry.
