BRUSH UP!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR AVERAGE MAKE- UP RESULT AND THAT OF A PROFESSIONAL'S IS IN THE TOOLS THEY USE. BRISTLE UP CAREFULLY AS WE UNCOVER THE SEVEN BRUSHED EVERY GIRL NEEDS TO HAVE.

BRUSH SET

FOUNDATION BRUSH

---> To use, place a dollop of foundation on the back of your hand, dip foundation brush in at the tips and swipe over skin from inner to outer corners of the face. Use thiz to also reach the nooks and crannies of face such as the nose area so that all areas are accounted for. The result? An airbrushed finish.

CONCEALER BRUSH

---> Look out for synthetic brushes as these absorbs less concealer in the bristles and transfer more more concealer onto face, ensurinx a more natural cover- up. Likewise, dip brush in a bit of concealer and gently blend onto the area of imperfection u wish to conceal.

POWDER BRUSH

---> Perfect for settinx foundation, thiz large fluffy brush is used to dust a light layer of powder on the skin. Pattinx on a compact powder with sponge is alright for touch- ups for powder brushes are perfect for settinx make- up right after foundation and ensures none of that cakey- face results.

EYESHADOW BRUSH

---> A soft, flame shaped tip will fan out the edges to blend colour on the lids, as u apply shades on. If precise application is tricky for u, look for an eyeshadow brush with long, tapered tip. Also known as a crease brush, thiz helps u to put a dark eyeshadow in the right spots. Epecially useful for smokinx up eyes.

EYELINER BRUSH

---> Strugglinx to get your eyeliner to stay put? Then thiz will come in handy. Blend liner into the lash line or use it to add a top layer of matchinx eyeshadows for longer hold. Though applyinx liner with pencils is easier, usinx an eyeliner brush gives more natural effect as it allows you to follow the contour of the lash line better.

LIP BRUSH

---> Helps u achieve the perfect pout. The flat firm and tapered tip brush blends liner and lipstick together to erase all forms of telltale lines. Also usinx a lip brush discourages wattage, which means longer- lasting lippie and a softer, more natural lippie effect.

BLUSH BRUSH

---> Dab brush into powder blush, makinx sure to tap off excess before u apply on cheeks. For the natural result, apply on apples of cheeks with a light hand. If u find you've overflushed yourself with blusher, dab a bit of translucent powder over it to cover up.
