Today, I will talk with you about the use of makeup tools and different special purposes. At the same time, I remind you that makeup tools are consumables, so it is best to clean them after each use, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria, especially the brushes should be regularly treated with brush cleaning solution every week! The following small series will introduce the function and use of the 5 brushes for you.
1. Loose powder brush
A loose powder brush is one of the tools used to set makeup. It can be combined with powder or loose powder to set the makeup. Keep the makeup intact for 5-6 hours, and at the same time, it can achieve the effect of oil control, which can generally create a matte makeup look.
When choosing a loose powder brush, pay attention to whether the bristles are dense and soft. Only the soft and dense bristles can fix the makeup without missing the blemishes on the face. The shapes of loose powder brushes are generally round and fan.
How to use: Dip an appropriate amount of powder or loose powder, gently sweep over the face that has already applied foundation makeup, and stay on the parts that are prone to sweating (such as the sides of the nose, forehead and chin) for about 5 seconds. Then clean it again along the contours of the face.
In addition, the girls with oily skin in summer are more oily. You can use a loose powder brush for baking (wait for four or five minutes after brushing a lot of powder on your face, and then use a smaller brush to wipe off the excess loose powder on your face). The oil control effect is particularly good. Great.
Two, foundation brush
A foundation brush is a brush used to apply liquid foundation makeup. There are generally three types, one is the slanted foundation brush, which can not only brush the liquid foundation on the face, but also can be used as a contour brush and a highlighting brush, which are generally multi-functional brushes; the other is a flat brush, which is mainly used for facial foundation. Treatment; there is also a circular foundation brush, which is generally used for local makeup effects. For foundation brushes, the most important thing is to choose a brush head with neat bristles and a certain slope. This not only improves the ability to spot concealer, but also takes into account the cheekbones.
How to use: Dip an appropriate amount of liquid foundation with a foundation brush or dip an appropriate amount of liquid foundation in the palm of your hand and apply it on the forehead, chin and cheeks. (Especially the parts with blemishes and acne marks can be superimposed thickly), and then gently sweep away with a foundation brush. If you emphasize high coverage, you can use a foundation brush to lightly press on the blemishes.
3. Concealer brush
Concealer brushes are mainly aimed at concealing local imperfections, while also making the entire makeup look softer and more perfect. Generally, it is recommended to use a round concealer brush for the concealer of red, swollen acne or acne marks. For some redness or skin color difference, it is recommended to use a square concealer brush for a large area of smudge concealer. As for the dark circle concealer under the eyes, generally choose a brush that is one size smaller than the acne concealer brush, because the dark circles under the eyes are generally elongated and require detailed concealer. The choice of bristles must be based on the premise of being soft and natural, and the bristles should be as detailed as possible.
Instructions:
Apply the concealer to the areas you need to conceal, such as red, swollen, pimples and pimple marks. Gently press on the pimples. At the same time, treat the boundary between the blemish and the surrounding skin to make it look as soft and natural as possible. It will form a color difference with other skin colors, and finally use powder to set makeup, so that concealer products and liquid foundation are integrated.
Four, eye shadow brush
The eye shadow brush is, as the name suggests, a tool for applying makeup on the eye. Generally speaking, the size of the eye shadow brush is smaller than that of the concealer brush and the loose powder brush. The pursuit of the delicate bristles does not hurt the eyes and the softness and naturalness of the bristles. Generally speaking, the eye shadow brush can be used for eye shadow base and eye detail smudge at the same time. The more bouncy the bristles, the more amazing the application. It is also necessary to consider the amount of eye shadow powder that is dipped each time, and the soft bristles will not make the eyelids feel burdened.
How to use: Dip a small amount of eyeshadow powder or eyeshadow with an eyeshadow brush, and gently sweep it on the eyelid to achieve a rendering effect; if you want to draw eyeliner, choose a smaller eyeshadow brush and lightly apply it on the eyeliner Just draw in one direction. The extension of the lower lash line and the outline of the eye shape can be done with an eye shadow brush.
Five, grooming brush
Contouring is a makeup technique commonly used by Asian women, it can make our cheekbones look more prominent, while making the contours of the entire face look more three-dimensional.
Contouring brushes are also one of the most important tools for contouring, and are generally divided into two categories. One is the facial contouring brush, which is mainly applied to the cheekbones, forehead and under the lips; the other is the body contouring brush, which is mainly applied to the chest to create a more three-dimensional visual effect. Generally speaking, most of the contouring brushes are inclined, because the inclined plane can take into account the angle of the cheekbones; there are fewer round contouring brushes, and most of them are used to render the contouring of the cheekbones. The bristles of the contouring brush are meticulous and are more slender than foundation brushes.
How to use: First choose a light brown or barley color and apply it to the cheekbones, then use a darker brown to apply to the depressions of the cheekbones, and then use the contouring brush to gently sweep along the direction of the facial concavities and convexities. Open, it must be angled horizontally, try not to destroy the makeup color and effect of other parts of the face.
