Right Makeup Tools can make the difference between looking unpolished and looking flat-out fabulous. I could launch into a lengthy “what’s a brilliant painter sans brilliant brush?” metaphor, but you get the picture. Here is everything you need to know about the makeup tools of the trade.

Make-up Tools

1. Powder Brush: A fluffy, oversized brush used to dust on loose powder or bronzer.

2. Blush Brush: A round, medium-sized brush used to apply and blend blush or bronzer.

3. Foundation Brush: A large, flat oval brush used to apply liquid or cream foundation. Usually made of synthetic fibers.

4. Wedge Sponge: Used for applying and blending foundation. Can be used dry for a matte finish, or wet for a dewier look.

5. Smudge Brush: For a soft or smoky look, trace it back and forth along eyeliner, blurring it out a bit.

6. Eyeshadow Brush: A fine, flat brush used to highlish the brownbone, accenturate the crease, or sweep color all over the lid.

7. Eyebrow Brush: A firm, angles brush used to sweep color onto the eyebrows. Don’t go crazy with this, or you risk looking like Joan Crawford.

8. Eye Liner Brush: A stiff-bristled brush used to trace an exact line along the lashes.

9. Eyelash Separator: Use to comb through mascara’ed lashes to get rid of clumps. Rinsed clean, it is great for blending in eyebrow pencil.

10. Lip Brush: A tiny brush used to apply lipstick or gloss - gives great defination. Also fantactic for applying concealer.
