Makeup Brushes: Types and Their Uses

We all know we need makeup brushes to apply our makeup to give us that flawless finish… but the results we expect will not be ours if we use them wrongly...yeah I said that!.

What most of us do not know is that there are different types of makeup brushes and that each has its own individual use…but not to worry… Kamdora has got you covered.

Types of Makeup Brushes and Their Uses

1. Foundation brush:

This is designed to give a smooth and flawless finish; the bristles are tightly packed and are thinner towards the end for fluid application. For best results, dampen the brush with warm water and firmly squeeze excess water out, this gives a better distribution.

2. Concealer/Camouflage brush:

This is a soft bristled flat brush with a wider base and pointed tip. It’s used to apply concealer to areas under the eyes to spots and to camouflage areas of discolouration.

3. Bronzer/Powder brush:

This is a soft, full and rounded brush that can be used to apply both powder and bronzer. The bristles pick up the right amount of powder and distribute them evenly on the skin.

4. Blusher brush:

It has gentle fibers and has a rounded end for applying colour to the apple of your cheeks. Sweep and blend along your cheek bone drawing the brush into your hairline.

5. Face contour brush:

It’s a slanted and rounded brush which mimics the angle of your cheek bones. It’s used for highlighting and shading with a bronzer or illuminating powder.

6. Eye shadow brush:

Its flat, large, short and has brimming bristles for excellent coverage. It’s used to apply colour over the eyes.

7. Angle eye shadow brush:

A long and tapered brush perfect for shading the eye sockets.

8.Eye shadow blending brush:

Use this light brush to blend eye shadow colours and to highlight the brow bone.

9. Slanted eyebrow definer brush:

Use to define and fill brows for an asymmetrical appearance. The bristles are stiff and angled for precise control.

10. Lip brush:

The sculpted tip of the lip brush is perfect for achieving a flawless line. The bristles are short and firm for controlled application.
