Top 5 Makeup Tools To Achieve The Perfect Base
Heading out with your babes this weekend and looking for the perfect makeup base for your girl’s night out? You’re in the right place! Here is a simple breakdown of our Brushworks brushes that any makeup bag needs, and how to put them to good use to achieve a flawless base:
Foundation Brush
Whether you are using a liquid or powder foundation the perfect tool to use is a flat-topped Foundation brush. Our Buffing Foundation Brush helps to achieve an even and flawless application, without caking your skin. The brush has synthetic, taklon bristles which are not only easy to clean but are also super-hygienic!
How to use
Start in the middle of the face and then gradually blend out. Try to do this evenly to prevent any harsh lines or edges, especially around the jaw and hairline.
Powder Brush
A great, all-round brush for those that suffer from shiny/oily T-zones or creases under eyes. Our Powder brush is a versatile tool for setting and applying face makeup. Depending on the look you desire, the brush can also fix liquid/cream foundations in place and also blend and buff powder foundation.
How to use
Using the dense, fluffy bristles pick up a fine layer of powder and tap to get rid of any excess. Lightly dust the product under the eyes and over the T-zone. A light dusting will help to set foundation or concealer, ready to take on the night.
Blush Brush
Similar to the powder brush, but with a more precise shape our Blush Brush is ideal for both blushers or bronzers. The fluffy, dome shaped brush head doesn’t pick up too much product to ensure a subtle colouring.
How to use
Apply to the apples of the cheeks, building up the colour as desired. For a bronzed, sun kissed look sweep the brush loosely in a ‘3’ shape, beginning from the forehead, cut down through the cheeks and then move back out and down to the jaw line.
Complexion Sponge
We can’t live without the complexion sponge here at Brushworks HQ! Our damp sponge is your BFF for pressing in loose powder to set the under eye and sculpt your contour.
How to use
The best trick for the complexion sponge is to use it damp, through this process less makeup will be absorbed into the sponge, preventing all product being soaked up! It will also allow makeup to be blended in as smoothly as possible. The precise tips of the sponge are perfect to cover any blemishes or imperfections around the nose and eyes.
