Make Up Brushes

Fluffy. Wide. Stiff. Short. Natural. Synthetic. There are so many choices of makeup brushes .Many are for special techniques that create unique looks, ones most of us regular folk don't need to bother ourselves with. The truth is, you only need five key brushes in order to do your face up right.
It may be easier to simply swipe on your lip colour from the tube, but you'll get more precise application and deposit more product into the thin creases on the surface of your lip (creating a more intense and possibly longer lasting application) by using a lip brush.
A blush brush
A proper blush brush should be moderate in size and the bristles should not be overly fluffy. If you're currently using a big, poofy brush, you're wasting product and not depositing your blush as precisely as you should be.
A face-powder brush
This is the big and fluffy one! It feels wonderful when applying translucent powder over your entire face. Unlike the blush brush, this more poofy brush is used so you can airily deposit product onto your face with a light dusting.

A small, flat or straight-tip brush
Use this type of brush to dab on or otherwise apply product in a precise way: for example, to more effectively use eye shadow to line your eyes.
A small rounded-tip brush
Use this style of brush to apply colours more softly, and to blend; for example, your crease shadow with your base colour. This brush should be softer and more flexible than the straight-tip one in your collection.
Clean your brushes regularly
No matter why type of brush you use, be sure to clean them regularly about once a week or so. Use a gentle soap and rinse well in lukewarm water. Squeeze out excess water gently and then rest until dry. Do not stand them upright or water will seep into the handle and weaken the brush.
