A Start to Brushes

Today I am going to just touch base quickly on make-up brushes. Brushes are essential for your products, application technique, and your results. Invest in a set of Great Brushes!. The bigger the brush, the more area you will cover. You will get a "wash of color" with "fluffier" brushes. The smaller the brush, the more product you will disperse in one concentrated area. Also, the stiffer the brush, the more product you will place in one given area, hence making the product more visible. Liquid and Cream foundations I usually use a medium size brush. I like the duo fiber brush from M.A.C Cosmetics. I can easily buff foundation on to the skin. For Powder Foundations I use a bigger brush ( this will be for a sheerer coverage ) or, I will use a Medium sized brush ( blush/bronzer brush ) to add a bit more coverage. I will get more into depth with brushes, how to use them, and tricks to create contouring later. I just wanted to throw some information out their so everyone has an idea of where to start. So get going and experiment. Make mental notes from one day to the next on how certain brushes affect your application, your look, and the products wear ability!
