Tips for Choosing Make Up Brushes   by Row

Ladies, when it comes to choosing make up brushes, we over inundated with choice. The main thing to consider is quality, as well as price and what you want the brush to do. Here are some pointers to help you make up your mind.

1. Decide what you want the brush for. There are brushes for face powder, foundation, concealer, blushers, eye shadow and liner, lipstick and also more specialised ones, such as contour and spoolies for separating eyelashes and brows.

2. Look at the hair that the brush is made out of. There are synthetic and natural hairbrushes, Synthetics are better for the application of cream products, such as gel eyeliners, mousse blushers etc. Natural hair is good for eye shadow and powder as it can give a silkier finish.

3. The classic hair for brushes is sable, which comes from Squirrel, and is a durable and soft hair to have. Goat is also another popular hair that is a bit rougher. There are also synthetic brushes that resemble natural hair (check your packaging to see what it is made out of). Kolinsky is a luxury hair from a weasel. Do not rule out scanning art shops for soft brushes!

4. Give your brushes a gently tug through your hands before you buy. A good quality brush should not shed too many hairs and not leave any on your face when you apply cosmetics.

5. Foundation and concealer can often be applied with fingers too, since warmth helps blend the makeup into the skin. However, it if often more hygienic to use a brush
