Before I get started on posting my favorite products and tips and tricks, I wanted to give you the basics of every pretty face! Brushes! Brushes make it so much easier to apply the makeup how you want to plus they make your products last a little longer because you do not use as much using brushes!
Here are a few pics of types of brushes.
The picture above are the ones I own! The first one (starting from the left) is my blush brush which is perfect for adding blush to the cheek bones. The second brush is my powder brush! It picks up both loose and compact powders really well and applies it to my face with out it looking too caked. The third brush (the one in the middle) can be used for contouring if you you do that! I use the fourth brush for my bronzer and the last one for my foundation! When I switched from a sponge to a foundation brush I was amazed how much longer my liquid foundation lasted. I was using half of what I normally used when using the sponge! I also got more coverage using the brush then i ever did with a sponge.
Here is another photo showing some other brushes that i found on the Internet. Eyeshadow brushes are a must and they help with blending. Concealer brushes help you cover up blemish or any unwanted spots a lot better then using your fingers. I love using the lash and brow brush to help take out clumps in my mascara. I used the comb side to brush through my eyelashes after I have added a few coats of mascara! it makes my eyelashes look amazing and clump free!
This is a lip brush! It is great for putting the lip stains on! I use these brushes instead of the actual applicator that comes with the lip stain or in the compacts. With the brush it is much easier to get the lip stain/color to exactly where you want it and it doesn't add too much like when you use the applicator that comes in the tube! Plus these are longer then the ones that come in the compact so you don't have to hold the brush so close to the the top you can give your self some room.
This is an eyeliner brush! I use a cream eyeliner for my tight lining method (I'll explain that in a later post) it reduces the mess and makes your eyeliner perfect.
This is a smudge brush. When using a eyeliner in the pencil form it is always best to to smudge it a bit after applying. some pencils come with this on the end but I have bought some that do not, so its always nice to have an extra one handy.
And of course your Eyelash curler. It is the perfect tool to give your eyelashes the perfect lift after applying mascara. I would be lost without mine!
You can get brushes just about anywhere, from make up stores on line to you local super center or go-to makeup store. They come in different colors and different styles for the brushes. Along with all the styles they also come in many different prices. The most important thing to look for when brush shopping is to actually look and see what the brush is made out of. Read the reviews and see what other people think about them. There is no perfect place to get brushes they are all different but having them in general are very important to having a pretty face!
More tips and tricks to come from me every Tuesday! Stay Beautiful!
