LET'S BEGIN WITH THE TYPES OF BRUSHES AND THERE USES.....

1. THE FOUNDATION BRUSH-  THE FOUNDATION IS USED TO ACHIEVE THE MOST FLAWLESS AND SMOOTH APPLICATION OF FOUNDATION THE BRISTLES ARE TIGHTLY PACKED AND TAPERED FOR A MORE FLUID APPLICATION. DAMPEN THE BRUSH FIRST IN WARM WATER AND SQUEEZE OUT THE EXCESS INTO A TOWEL OR TISSUE , THIS WILL HELP TO ACHIEVE A MORE EVEN DISTRIBUTION. YOU CAN ALSO BLEND ANY BRUSH STROKES AS YOU GO WITH A DAMP OR NATURAL WEDGE SPONGE. 

        2. THE CONCEALER/ CAMOUFLAGE BRUSH-  A SOFT BRISTLED, FLAT BRUSH WITH A WIDER BASE AND A  POINTED TIP. USE TO APPLY CONCEALER UNDER YOUR EYES, TO SPOTS, PROBLEM AREAS, DISCOLORATION, PIMPLES (ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HIDE)

THE FLAT, CIRCULAR, FEATHERY, HEAD PROVIDES LIGHTWEIGHT, BUILDABLE COVERAGE OF LIQUID, CREAM OR POWDER.USE TO BLEND CREAM BLUSH INTO THE APPLES OF YOUR CHEEKS, OR FOR A LIGHT DUSTING OR SHIMMER OR BRONZER TO YOUR CHEEK AND BROW BONE.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BRUSHES AND THERE USES IDENTIFIED I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON QUALITY BRUSHES AND NOT CARE FOR THEM PROPERLY. NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THEM CLEANED THEY MUST ALSO BE CONDITIONED. BRUSHES SHOULD BE CLEANED AFTER EACH USE TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF BACTERIA, THEREFORE KEEPING YOU SKIN CLEAR.  THE POWDER AND BLUSHER BRUSHES ONLY HAVE TO BE CLEANED ONCE A WEEK.
