BEAUTY TOOLS FOR
YOUR BEST BEAT

The best type of makeup brush to use for your face all depends on the desired look. To apply product lightly to the face, try using a powder brush with big fluffy bristles. For an application with more coverage try using a brush where the bristles are either shorter or more compact.

The best and most necessary brushes for eye makeup are usually small eye detailed brushes. Eye makeup brushes can range from flat and compact to allow you to add intensity when applying shadows. Or eye makeup brushes could appear fluffy and rounded to allow you to blend colors or apply shadows more softly.

The best brush to use for contour is usually a powder brush. A large plush brush will give an airbrush bronze finish, while a medium density angled brush allows for more control and multi-purpose.

The best beauty tool for blending depends on the artist and their comfort level. For some, medium to large plush brushes work best to blend makeup either on the face or eyes, while others tend to use sponges and puffs to blend.

The best way to clean your makeup brushes is with lukewarm water and a clarifying shampoo. First, rinse the makeup brush off with water, shampoo the brush and swirl the bristles into the palm of your hand to remove product. Rinse and repeat as necessary. Dry brushes and lay flat on towel to air dry.

How often you should clean your makeup brushes depends on how often they’re used and what they’re used with. Try washing powder and liquid brushes at least once a week if used. Try cleaning brushes that come close to sensitive areas like your eyes and mouth more often after each use or when needed.
