How to use foundation brush? Are you lost in a wide range of cosmetic brushes? Confused about using these makeup tools? Don’t worry, when we just start to learn makeup, we will encounter all sorts of problems. Here, we share some tips with you to help you make fewer mistakes.

You may have seen that makeup professionals carry a bag of various brushes. Some brush hairs are made of real animal hair while some are made of man-made hair. The former price is higher than the latter one.

Brush types and functions

It is necessary for beginners to understand the differences between different brushes. I know they look almost the same. The only difference is the size. This is not the case. Let me introduce them one by one.

The big-sized products are usually powder, blush, contour, foundation, and highlighting brushes. The loose powder brush is usually fluffy and rich. With the help of the tool, the makeup is rendered a more natural and long-lasting look. You may wonder why not using hands?

We don’t suggest using hands and fingers because brushes can help us better control these powders and reach the precise effects we want. Take the blush, for example, it is harder for fingers to wipe out blush and blend naturally with the foundation makeup.

The smaller-sized brushes include concealing, eyebrow, lip, and nose contouring brushes. Concealers are used to cover the flaws on your face. With these tools, you can wear more delicate makeup. When it comes to eye makeup, we have multiple smaller brushes with diverse properties. They are brushes for large-area eyeshadow, blending, details, etc.

Foundation brush using tips

Another useful tool for wearing base makeup is the beauty blender. It is softer and more flexible. It can reach smaller areas on your face and render a more exquisite look.

How to clean makeup brushes and beauty blenders?

Mix the cleaner with the warm water and soak the brush or blender into the mixture for a while, about 4 or 5 minutes. During this process, the cleaner has dissolved the residues of cosmetics.

Take them out of the water and squeeze the dirt out of the brush and beauty blender. Rinse them under running water. The tools are cleaned up.
