Tuesday Tip!

What the Brush?!?

Ever been perusing the make up brush aisle and said "That brush looks great, but what the heck would I do with it?"  Here is a guide to the brushes that may look a bit odd at first.

Precision Sponge- Ok, technically not a brush.  The sponge is great for applying liquid foundation, cream blush, or concealer.  It gives an even application and reduces streaking sometimes left behind by foundation brushes.

Kabuki Brush- Is this for traveling?  It could be!  These brushes gained more awareness when Bare Minerals commercials used them to apply their products.  They are great for picking up loose powder and buffing it into the skin for an even, smooth application.

Fan Brush- This odd little thing is not for make up application at all!  It's actually used more like a broom for your face.  It helps "fan" away fall out (the eyeshadow that ends up on your cheek and not on your eyelid) from underneath the eyes.  I just use my big powder brush for this and it works just fine.

Angled Brush- Mine's broken!  Oh wait, it's is supposed to be like that!  This angled brush is the same eyeliner brush you've been using to apply your liquid eyeliner, but it is angled for easier application.
