Full Makeup brush collection and their uses
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.
| Powder | For applying Face powder loose or pressed, the soft but slightly coarse goat hair is great for holding a lot of powder and transferring it evenly onto your skin for a flawless finish that will not irritate the skin or cause allergies to sensitive skin. |
| Blusher / Bronzer | For applying blusher or bronzer, the soft but slightly coarse goat hair is great for holding the powder and transferring it evenly onto your skin for a non-streaky finish that will not irritate the skin or cause allergies to sensitive skin. The angled brush is great for following the line of your cheek for that professional look. Tip: Apply your first layer of blusher/bronzer and then a layer of powder then follow with another application of blusher/bronzer. This will help it stay on; do not use the same brush for powder and blusher/bronzer. |
