Different Makeup Brushes
Foundation Brush
When applying foundation, choose the right brush for the job. For powder foundation, use a wide fluffy brush while liquid foundation requires a denser and narrower brush. Apply powder directly but for liquids and creams, dot on the back of your hand, then blend onto your face with fingers and brush.
Powder Brush
A powder brush is ideal for applying powder makeup to large areas of the face such as foundation, blush, bronzer or finishing powder. Its incredibly soft bristles ensure even blending, creating a natural-looking coverage that enhances the complexion without appearing cakey or artificial, resulting in a flawless finish.
Contour Brush
Contour brushes play a versatile role in a woman's makeup routine. They expertly shape and define facial contours, adding depth and dimension to the face. With precise strokes, these brushes enhance the overall look of the makeup, creating a sculpted and polished appearance.

Highlighting Brush
The highlighting brush features a slender, fanned-out head, perfect for creating a soft and even glow. This precision brush allows women to target specific areas of the face, tailoring the highlight to their individual face shape. It's ideal for applying highlighter along the cheekbones.
Eyebrow Brush
A detailed eyeshadow brush provides women with precise control over strokes and makeup application. These brushes enable shaping and defining the eyelids with ease. Additionally, they can be used to add a subtle highlighter to the inner corner of the eyes, creating a brightening effect that enhances the overall eye look.
