Small Angled Brush
For cream or powder brows, use a small, synthetic angled brush. The straight edge keeps brows defined with clean edges. Pinch the tip to apply hair strokes with cream or liquid products, or wet your brush before pinching to get a similar effect with powder.
Medium Domed Natural Hair Brush
Use a natural hair blending brush with a dome or pointed tip. Dome brushes give larger, more diffused blends. A pointed tip works better for smaller lid spaces or when you need precision with soft edges.
Flat Fluffy Natural Hair Brush
Use a flat-but-fluffy natural hair brush to sweep powder over the lid with a soft edge. Looser brushes give a more sheer wash; denser brushes deposit more colour per stroke. Use a denser touch near the lash line to deepen the outer corner.
Dense Flat Natural Hair Brush
Use a dense, flat natural hair brush to stamp on pigment or glitter. Natural hair deposits more gradually for a softer edge. Use a clean small fluffy brush at the border to soften edges if needed.
Natural Hair Domed Brush
Use a clean natural hair brush with a domed fluffy tip. Always use a clean brush for a clean blend — natural hair grabs and moves eyeshadow far better than synthetic. Match the brush size to the blend area: small for detail, large for diffused smoky edges.
Flat Synthetic Brush
Use a flat synthetic brush to lay down a good amount of primer and keep the brow edge neat, then buff off excess with a fluffy brush. Or use a slightly fluffy flat brush for a lighter primer layer in one step.
Flat Synthetic Brush
Use a flat synthetic brush with a sharp edge to carve a clean line under the brow. Synthetic brushes are always best for cream products — they don't absorb product the way natural hair does.
Ring Finger or Fluffy Synthetic Brush
For a wash of cream colour, your ring finger works brilliantly. Or use a synthetic fluffy blender to apply with diffused edges. A bigger brush gives a softer, sheerer result; smaller gives more precision for secondary colours.
Flat Angled or Fine Pointed Brush
Use a flat angled or fine pointed brush. Place the tip where you want the wing to stop, then move inwards along the lash line back from the point — the shape of the brush does the work for you.
Small Angled + Pencil Brush
Apply the shape with a small angled brush getting right into the lash line, then soften the edges with a dome pencil brush or small synthetic blender. Layer dark shadow over the seam as a bridge for a smoother fade.
Clean Fingertips or Damp Beauty Sponge
Serums and tints go on best with clean fingertips. Tap a damp sponge gently over the top to smooth and sheer out the finish if needed. Direct sponge application soaks up too much product.
Wide Fluffy Angled Synthetic Brush
A synthetic fluffy angled foundation brush is versatile for medium coverage. The shape smooths application and lets you feather edges using the longer bristles. A medium-density domed synthetic also works well for more coverage.
Dense Domed Synthetic Brush
Use a dense domed synthetic brush to buff on and smooth heavier formulas or maximise coverage of any foundation. The dome avoids harsh application lines; the density applies a lot of product at once.
Dense Domed Synthetic Brush
Use a dense domed synthetic brush. Apply cream or liquid to your hand first, work it into the brush with the brush upright, then tap gently onto the cheeks for a soft edge that doesn't lift foundation.
Small Fluffy Synthetic Brush
A small fluffy synthetic brush gives a soft blend for under-eyes, spot concealing, and brightening around the face.
Flat Synthetic Brush
Use a flat synthetic brush to apply and layer lipstick or gloss with a sharp edge. Use a clean brush to tidy the edges with concealer or foundation afterwards.
Medium Fluffy Natural Hair Brush
Choose a fluffy natural hair brush for blush, bronzer or contour — and use a separate brush for each shade to avoid muddiness. An angled tip helps find bone structure when applying to the high or low points of the cheeks.
Fluffy Brush — Natural or Synthetic
Use a fluffy natural hair brush. Choose a smaller pointed-tip brush for spot-powdering under eyes and around the nose, or a large fluffy brush for pressing or dusting powder across the full face to set.
Soft Long-Haired Natural Brush
A soft, long-haired natural brush with plenty of movement through the bristles gives a light sweep of glow across the high points of the face without overloading.
