Do you know when we want to do our own makeup but are not sure which brush to use for each product and each area of the face? This is very common and happens to most women. Well now let's put an end to your doubts.
Do not underestimate the importance of brushes for perfect makeup. There are the brushes used to prepare the skin, those used to draw the eyes and those used to outline the mouth. See below the function of the different brushes:
Types of makeup brushes and what each one is for:
Pincel for base
The brush called cat's tongue is ideal for spreading the creamy product well on the face and leaving no marks or flaws. Apply the foundation in the center of the face and spread outward in circular motions. Don't forget to also apply it to your neck and décolletage to get an even color.
concealer brush
It is small, firm and thin. The ideal is to apply the concealer and tap the bottom of the eyes to create a layer of color. Then spread evenly.
face powder brush
It is the largest of them and has large, voluminous and very soft bristles. This will help not to leave the powder marked on the face, setting the product in a smooth and uniform way, with a velvety appearance on the skin of the face.

Brush for highlighting and contouring
The sharper tip is ideal for you to be able to contour your face with precision. It also serves to spread the illuminator at strategic points. Apply the product right on the tip and spread it exactly in the place you want to contour or highlight.

- Precision - to apply the illuminating shadow to the top of the lid, just below the brow bone and in the inner corner of the eyes.

Types of makeup brushes
You can buy brushes with natural or synthetic bristles to do your makeup. Each is useful for a different function. Check out:
natural brushes
Brushes with natural bristles are made with animal hair and, therefore, are softer and more malleable. They absorb products well and are ideal for applying powder, highlighter or blending eye shadow.
synthetic brushes
In general, they are made of nylon, which makes their texture firmer. Synthetic bristle brushes absorb less makeup and are great for applying foundation and contouring the eyes and mouth.
