Cosmetic Brush Guide
Understanding the names and functions of each makeup brush is crucial for effective application. Here’s a brief overview:
- Brush Characteristics:
- Softness: Brushes should feel soft and smooth against the skin, ensuring comfort during application.
- Fullness: A good brush should be full-bodied without bristles falling out, indicating quality construction.
- Quality Check:
- Trim Bristles: Inspect the brush by pinching the bristles with your fingers. Gently comb them down to see if any bristles come loose, which could indicate poor quality.
- Application Test: Press the brush gently on the back of your hand to test its firmness and ability to pick up product.
- Drawing Technique:
- Semicircular Shape: Use the brush to draw a semicircular shape on the back of your hand to check its performance. This helps assess how well the brush distributes product and its flexibility.
