Various Types of Makeup Brushes

Anyone who is familiar with the art of makeup knows the importance of makeup brushes. They are the tools that can transform a face into the most beautiful one. There are various varieties of makeup brushes. As with any other product, there are professional brushes as well as lower quality brands. The price difference is marked, but so is the difference in quality. The lower quality-ones break quickly, and the chances of skin irritation increase many folds. If you want a brush that will last longer and will not have any adverse effect on the sensitive skin, you should use the professional ones.

Makeup Brushes Set

Normally, professional brushes are made with goat, sable or squirrel hair. There is a wide variety of shape and sizes in case of makeup brush. Each one is made with specific function in mind. The types include:

1. The most common type of brush that you will see is the foundation brush. They are soft, U-shaped and large. They can easily cover a large area and quickly too.

2. For setting foundation, powder brush is the best. It is also a soft, large brush that sweeps the whole face. The rounded end makes it easier to cover the face, even in the curvy areas.

3. Concealer brush is harder than most other types. It is made of synthetic hair. But the size is smaller and rounded. They are used to apply makeup to any red areas or the face or to any blemish. As the brush is small, it can easily reach even the corner of the nose.

4. One type of brush that comes in with both synthetic and natural hair is the applicator brush. They also come in various sizes! They are mainly used for applying eyeshadow. You should buy both a smaller and a larger applicator brush as the choice of size depends on the type of makeup.

5. To line the eyes or to fill in the eyebrows, you need the angled brush. It is the hardest of all brushes and are made with synthetic hair. The name comes from its angled shape. They are best suited to the areas of the face which are otherwise hard to reach.

6. The one brush that is almost crucial for any brush set is the blending brush. It has natural bristles that can eliminate any hard line. They works in collaboration with the applicator brush but is much softer and rounder.

7. One of the best brushes to work on the cheeks is the blusher brush. As the name suggests, they are best for controlling the amount of colour in the cheeks. They work better than the powder brush and is a fraction smaller in size.

8. No brush set can be completed without lipstick brush. These brushes are made with both natural and synthetic bristles, so it a bit harder. This makes it suitable for using on the mouth. The shape is almost V, so you can use them on the edges and fill them.
