Right makeup brush for foundation and powders is just as important as the foundation makeup itself. New makeup brushes should be washed before using to remove any leftover residue, excess dye and loose hairs from the manufacturing process. A powder blush is the largest brush you should have in collection. This brush is used to set the finishing powder onto your face and help soften your foundation. If you have never tried a professional makeup brush with your minerals, you will be amazed at the difference it will make. Eye-shadow brushes are designed to give you just the right amount of color to the lid without looking like. A great thing about an eye-shadow brush is that it can easily help to blend more than one eye shadow without leaving behind lines.

Various Makeup Brushes

1. A foundation brush has a flat shape and long bristles.

2. Choosing the right brushes does not have to be a tricky process.

3. Eyeliner brushes to apply liquid eye shadow or to blend eye shadow around the eyes for a smoky.

4. Powder brush is used to dust loose powder over your face, setting your makeup and eliminating any shine.

5. Eye-shadow brushes are designed to give you just the right amount of color to the lid without looking like you just caked it on there.

There are several types of professional makeup brushes, but I will only cover a few that I think you will need for your everyday makeup application:

1. Application brush - It is usually synthetic and the bristles are straight and firm. This brush is used to apply eyeshadow and concealer to the areas needed. You can usually find them in small or large sizes, but choose the size based on your need.

2. Angle brush - This is my personal favorite because it is typically used to apply eyeliner and to fill in sparse areas of my eyebrows with eyeshadow. The angle brush contains synthetic bristles as well, and is very firm and slanted (at an angle). I highly recommend this brush if you experience difficulties in applying eyeliner because you can "connect the dots" in order to form a straight line.

3. Blending brush - Widely available in natural bristles, this fluffy brush is used to blend eyeshadows on the eyelids to create a softer look. Please note that the smaller brush heads are used for more concentrated blending, and the larger heads tend to spread out the eyeshadow pigment. Choose the head based on the result you are trying to achieve.

4. Powder/Blush brush - Also available in natural bristles, this brush is small enough to apply powder to the face, and large enough to dust blush onto the cheeks. Because the bristles are tapered, it blends really well, and the larger head makes for even distribution.

Makeup brushes hold bacteria and old makeup pigment, which can ruin them over time, and change the color of the makeup you want to wear. The best way to maintain your professional makeup brushes is to wash them at least three times a month in a very mild shampoo (preferably baby shampoo). After washing the heads, press firmly to squeeze out any unnecessary water, shape the bristles while wet, and lay flat to dry. Following this extra step will help you achieve the results you want for years to come.
