You bought the foundation, the powder, the highlighter, the eyeshadow.. now what?

This week's beauty tip goes over the essential brushes for your make up kit and how to get the best application out of your cosmetics. I sat down with Beauty Entourage make up artist Britt B to go over the essential brushes for your application and how each one differs. Not all brush is created equally! 

Starter Tip: Use natural bristles for powder products and synthetic bristles for liquid or cream. Using a brush as opposed to hands for foundation, primer, and moisturizer will greatly reduce any transfer of oils and dirt, allowing for a smoother and sanitary application.

1. Foundation Brush - Apply product to center of face outward for a seamless finish.

2. Beauty Blender - Dab on foundation for sheer, even finish.

3. Kabuki - Ideal for bronzer for more concentrated application. Apply along hairline, jawline and cheekbone in a '3' shape on face.

4. Powder Brush - For finishing powders because application is less concentrated and won't smudge foundation.

5. Angled Brush For Blush - Hold at an angle and apply along cheekbones for soft coverage.

6. Concealer Brush -For blemishes and under eye circles. The density of the bristles allows for a more concentrated application creating fuller coverage for trouble areas.

Don't Forget: Keep your brushes clean! Build up of product and oils from your skin will result in an uneven application over time. Our go to brush cleaner is Cinema Secrets, a fast drying, effective cleaner to use in between applications.
