You'll commonly find duo-fibre brushes in larger sizes for applying liquid foundation, but as shown here, they're also available in smaller sizes for blending cream blushes and liquid highlighters and even powders and loose pigments, too.
When using a duo-fibre brush, you want to think about gently blending the makeup, not bending the bristles. If you press to hard, the longer bristles will spread and leave streak marks in your makeup, so use light pressure in a circular motion to buff the product into the skin.
Not to be confused with the duo-fibre brush, a stippling brush …well…you see…okay, fine. You can definitely get a stippling brush and a duo-fibre brush confused because a stippling brush is known for its duo fibers, so they're basically the same thing. When you want a softer foundation application or a more airbrushed effect, stick with the stipple. Because of its lighter finish, these brushes are also ideal for applying tinted moisturizer or sheering out liquids and creams without messing up the product underneath you ever blended those on with your fingers, only to be left with patchiness?
Dip the bristles into the liquid makeup, or swipe the bristles into a cream stick or powder, then lightly swirl them into your skin. Remember: Just the tips. If you have a heavy hand or the tendency to jab your brushes into your skin why do we do this?! In a lot of ways, the kabuki brush is the opposite of the stippling brush.
Its name might not ring a bell, but if you've ever played around with makeup, this classic makeup brush definitely will. Made famous by Kabuki Japanese drama theater, this style of brush is most commonly recognized by its short, chubby handle and very dense, firm, flat or dome-shaped bristles. A synthetic kabuki brush can be used to apply liquid foundation or body makeup for a medium-to-full coverage, but the density of the brush makes it perfect for packing on superfine powders or mineral foundation for a fuller-coverage finish.
Because these bristles are so dense and firm, you'll probs find that a slight pressure is necessary for working the product into the skin. Use the tips of the bristles to pick up the product, then swirl and buff to diffuse it across your face.
While using a brush for your liquid makeup is optional you can opt for a sponge or your clean fingers instead , you absolutely do need to use some sort of application brush for your mineral makeup or powder foundation. Enter: the foundation brush. These kinds of brushes are typically dense and can be pinched flat like a paintbrush or are full, rounded, and dome-shaped.
Yes, really; the quality has improved vastly over the years and can easily be used for both. For a perfectly smooth foundation application , start in the middle of your face cheeks and T-zone and apply your foundation outward in smooth, even strokes to prevent harsh makeup lines around the edges of your jawline and hairline.
If you're using a mineral or powder foundation, swirl and buff the bristles to work the product into the skin. Remember how I said a brush for your liquid base makeup is optional? The trick to using a sponge most effectively is to saturate it with running water , squeeze out the excess, then squeeze it a few more times in a clean towel or paper towel. Think of concealer brushes as small-scale foundation brushes.
Sure, you can use the spongey, doe-foot applicator straight from the concealer tube, but a brush like this one is not only more hygienic but also offers a more realistic, even finish. Dab the tip of the brush into a tiny amount of concealer , then gently tap or pat the brush on your zits, your under eyes, whatever. After the area has been covered, blend out the edges while being careful not to wipe away the rest of the concealer.
Other great uses: sharpening and cleaning up messy eye makeup or feathered lipstick edges. If shiny T-zones or under-eye creases are your main annoyance, allow me to introduce you to your new best friend: setting powder. And, along for the ride, powder brushes.

You will often see three main brushes for the eyes. The last one is basically the one you can live with if you only had to choose one eyeshadow brush. Plus, you can use it to highlight your cheekbones. To create this effect, add your highlighter to the flat side of the eyeshadow brush and brush it along the top of your cheekbone. Because of its density it concentrates the shimmer effortlessly for a beautifully strobed look! Of all the features of your face, your eyebrows really set it off.
They frame the face. Pro tip: The key to a perfect application for brows or eyeliner is to choose an angled brush that has very firm bristles. The edge must be really narrow too.
In fact, the finer that edge is, the more delicate of lines you can make. This results in a more natural appearance for your brows. This helps you blend even more flawlessly. Now THAT would be a major mishap, one that no blending could fix. If you can find them all in one kit, great! Powder brush — to set concealer and foundation in place with skin-coloured powder.
