Everything You Need To Know About Your Makeup Brushes, But Were Too Embarrassed To Ask

Everything You Need To Know About Your Makeup Brushes, But Were Too Embarrassed To Ask

These hacks show you how to use makeup brushes. They tell you which brush to use with which product and where to apply it.

How often have you read that makeup brushes are essential for applying makeup? It seems that every magazine, makeup artist, and any friend who calls themselves a beauty blogger, sings the praises of these magical brushes. For someone who has only ever used the little sponge that came with the eyeshadow (why is it there, if I can’t use it?), figuring out what brush is meant to be used with which product is as confusing as figuring out an eyeshadow palette with more than two colors. Brushes may seem like an unnecessary expense and an extra chore (you do have to clean them) but when you get the right one for the right job, it actually makes applying makeup a lot easier.

Here are hacks on how to figure out what makeup brushes you should be using:

1. The Basics

Before we can get into contouring, blending, and stippling, we need to be able to tell the difference between a powder brush and a blush brush.

2. Essential vs. Optional Brushes

3. Which Products To Use

5. Face Brushes

11. Using Eye Brushes Together
