The ‘Blink in Pink’ professional make up brushes have been named so because of the bright pink funnel of where the natural hair is held and its contrasting wooden black handle. The pink colour symbolises beauty, love and splendor. Partnered with the black, which is symbolic of sophistication to create a chic style. The long sturdy handle gives superior control over the brush strokes.

Each and every ‘Blink in Pink’ make up brush is handmade the process being that the hair is loosened, combed through, shaped, fitted tightly into the funnel and then lastly the hair shape is improved until perfect. Each make up brush is then paced through a quality check to ensure the highest quality. The ‘Blink in Pink’ range of make up brushes come in different shapes and sizes, each one perfect for varied applications anywhere on the face be it the eyes, lips, cheek or neck. This could be flat, round, pointed tip or oval shaped and either dense or light.

Normally, the hair of makeup brushes is one of two types; made of synthetic material like nylon and the ones that are made from natural animal hair. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. But, it is the latter which are most widely preferred by beauty experts for applying powder-based makeup and longevity.

The hair of our powder, blusher, eye shadow, eyeliner and fan make up brushes is made from animal hair like sable, pony, squirrel and goat. This lends distinctive softness on touch and causes no scratches or allergies to sensitive skins. Natural hair brushes are best for powder-based makeup because they best hold the powder until applied; then the colour is transferred onto the face and doesn’t stay on the makeup brush.

The hair of our foundation, concealer, lip and eyelash curler brushes are made from synthetic hair, nylon as this is the best material for applying wet/oil cosmetics.

Blink in Pink professional makeup brushes have been review under the tried and tested section of No.1 Magazine and here is what they had to say about our beautiful brushes…….

People sometimes think that a full set of makeup brushes is not needed and that they can get by with 2 or 3 to do everything. That is not very hygienic and your brushes will not last as long but most importantly you wont get a polished look. For example, if you have one brush (or your finger) for applying 2 colours and eyeliner to your eye on will end up with the colour not blended correctly and no clear distinction between colours also if you use the brush to apply a dark eyeshadow then next time you want to use it to apply your base/light colour it will still have remains of previous dark colour which then causes a dirty look. The same goes for your powder brush if you use it to apply your powder then your bronzer/blusher then next time you want to use it for powder it will still have remains of the bronzer/blusher. Below i have listed the uses and benefits of the full collection of Blink in Pink brushes and remember you can buy the full set for only £52 saving you over 50% on the individual brush price at only £2.60 per brush.

Make-up is not just a matter of cosmetics the accompanying application tools and the skills of the person using these are equally important. More often, it is the ‘right angle’ and the ‘right pressure’ applied skillfully while using the professional brushes that can work wonders. Not everyone is a professional makeup artist but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a professional look when applying your makeup. Having a wide range of brushes that are different shapes and sizes greatly helps when trying to perfect a look and then our advice for creating a professional looking application is to practice. Don’t be scared of your make up if you apply it and it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped just wash it off with a simple cleanser and try again. If you start with your eye shadow and don’t apply any mascara and face makeup until you are happy with that then removing it shouldn’t cause red puffiness as eye shadow can be removed with a sweep of water on cotton wool. Use one eye shadow brush for the lighter shade all over your eye and an angled or smudge eye shadow brush with a darker shade to define your socket. Eye liner can be applied using a flat, liner eye brush or a pencil that can later be smudged.

When applying blusher or bronzer an angled makeup brush will help you get the right shape of your cheek and the trick is to apply one layer then apply powder then another layer, this will help it stay on and not look streaky.

When creating the perfect lips it’s a good idea to use a natural nude lip liner to define the shade and then apply a colour with a lip makeup brush. If you have gone for dark or very bright eyes then you should keep the lips glossy but not full of colour, only use a deep or bright shade on your lips if you eyes are understated, as you don’t want to look like a show girl when your aiming for an everyday look.

Remember that with the right brush, the right amount of make-up can be applied. The material from which the hair of brushes is made determines their powder holding capacity and how will transfer when it touches the skin, so investing in natural hair brushes will really help you achieve that professional look and they will last you a life time if you care for them in the correct way.

Buy ‘Blink in Pink’ makeup brushes as they are made for longer use being all-natural brushes made of goat, squirrel, pony and sable hair. They are very reasonably priced so may not even cost more than synthetic brushes, and they’ll last for years if you take care of them.

Expand your brush collection. If you’re using the same four brushes for everything, they’re going to wear out faster than if you use several different brushes. Buy a few eye shadow brushes in different shapes and designate one for light colours (base) and the other for dark shades (contouring). Make sure that you use one brush for your base face powder and a separate one for blusher/bronzer.

Dust or wipe off excess makeup left on your brushes after each use. Use a soft cloth or tissue and take care not to pull on the hair too roughly. Build-up causes brushes to lose effectiveness and the hair to break down.

Wash your brushes every couple of weeks. Pick up a specially formulated brush wash or you can use baby shampoo. After washing, rinse water over the brush until it’s clear, making sure all traces of foundation, blusher and eye shadow are gone. Squeeze out excess water and reshape the brush. Pat brushes down on a paper towel, and lay them on a flat surface to dry. Do not use the makeup brushes again until completely dry.

Make brushes last by protecting them from the sunlight. Store brushes in a roll-up brush bag with separate slots for each brush. Avoid bags with zips, as the hair may get caught in them and ruin the shape of hair. Remember to take all of your brushes out of the bag and wash out the bag with soap and water every so often.

Throw out your old makeup. Using dirty makeup wears brushes down and may also spread bacteria to your face. Definitely throw out anything that smells, and get rid of anything you’ve had for more than 3 years.

Tips

• Don’t stand newly washed makeup brushes upright to dry. This may cause uneven drying, may make the brush funnel bloat due to excess moisture or even loosen the glue then making the hair fall out.
• Don’t let make-up brushes soak overnight because doing so breaks down the hair and may even lead to mould developing.
• Don’t share makeup brushes, especially if they’re being used on the lip or eye area you could spread infections.

Makeup brushes are your valuable cosmetic tools and require proper care.

Pour or spray the makeup brush cleanser onto the paper towel. Start with a small amount and add more as needed throughout.

 Gently Remove Makeup, using a back and forth and side-to-side motion over the towel, sweeping gently and not rubbing or pushing on the hair. You will see makeup being removed from the brush onto the towel. Add more makeup cleanser to a clean spot on the towel and repeat this step until the brush is clean.

Smooth brush back into shape and lay flat to dry, preferably with the brush head hanging over an edge. Allow 5-12 hours for drying, depending on the thickness of the brush. Do not let the liquid drip into the funnel.

Tip: You can use baby shampoo as makeup brush cleaner.
