Know Thy Brushes Well

(Deliberately chose this picture, because the brushes are in pink. So sweet!)

Brushes are the main essentials to makeup. Without them, irregardless of the number of palettes of eyeshadow, blushers, lip palettes (and the list goes on), you will never be able to attain a perfect look.

Then again, there is no perfect in makeup. Doing one look may please someone, and on the other hand, another might detest that look. It all depends on how people appreciate your art.

I have friends who asked me about the usage of different brushes, and some even asked if there was a need to have so many of them. My answer is, get the essentials one. One can't live by just one brush alone. And for this, you've got to understand them. Understand them like how you understand your partners ok? Alright, here we go, its gonna be lengthy, but its a MUST if you are about to splurge on your brushes.

Face brushThis brush is for the application of face powder, and also helps to dust off the excess. This helps to give your makeup a smooth finish. Besides, you can also use it for contouring and shading (this is very important to me). An essential tool if contouring and shading means alot to you.

Blush BrushThe one and only blush brush that will make you brush blush. The name itself is self explanatory. Used it to apply a little blusher to give you those rosy cheeks. Need not purchase expensive brand for this tool. I'm pretty sure you are going to agree that this is a must- have tool too.

Angled Brush (otherwise known as Eyebrow Brush)Sparse eyebrow? This is something that every woman on earth must own. It helps to fill up your eyebrow, and also extend eyebrows to perfection. Ditch this if eyebrow embroidery suffice you. The final outlook all depends on this tool because the shape of your eyebrow alone can do wonders with your look.

Eyeshadow BrushEyeshadow brush comes in different shapes and sizes. Choose the rounded one as it helps to contour your eyes. As for size, there are the larger, medium and the smaller ones. Use this brushes to handle pigments or add socket lines. Make sure you choose the right size for the different purpose.

Blending BrushMy favorite!!! The most lenient brush of all. How can a brush be lenient when it is a non living thing? Let me explain. This brush blends the different eyeshadow colour together and leaves no HARSH lines behind. Ok, pardon my corny explanation. Anyway, you get what I mean. Harsh lines are a taboo. This is so very important. Splurge on this brush. You will be just as joyous as anyone who owns it.

Fan BrushPretty much live up to its name, considering the outlook. This brush sweeps away the unwanted pigments which falls on your cheeks when you are concentrating really hard, dabbing pigments on your eyes. An optional tool.

Lip BrushHelps in perfecting a lip line.

Of course, there are many other brushes out in the market that I did not mention over here. This is just an overview of what is necessary for daily makeup routine. Start painting on your canvas(face) with these tools today. Cheers!
