We continue our look at brushes, and today, we look at foundation brushes.
So, as you can see, these all have different shapes and materials. I sound like a school teacher, abi?
What I want us to focus on is the shape. The white haired one (shu Uemura) is gorgeous for blending, but too small to go over the entire face (unless I have all the time in the world and feel like exercising my wrists); the flat shaped, regular looking ones (like the Smashbox brush, red handle and the Bobbi Brown, yellow handle) do a decent job, but they're placement brushes, not blenders. A lot of people will shoot me for this, but I' not a huge fan of the MAC 187 (the duo-fibre one), in fact I only just learnt how to use it end of last year. It does blend well, and has multiple uses.The Adesign has that amazing pointed shape to get into tiny corners around the face, but it's quite thick and I keep it for cream foundation.
So who's my bestest brush? Why, the Real Techniques Core brush (orange handle).
I use it to blend (and it does that beautifully) and gosh, does this lay powder nicely as well. Just right. If this brush was a dude, he would be described as husband material, no cheating no pimples lives in 1004. #Gbam.
This is just my opinion, and I have seen one of my Oga at the top use her fingers to create perfection with foundation (her name is B....sshusssshhh don't tell her!), but for us who don't have her levels of experience, we can start from here.
Daz all.
For those interested in getting the brushes, please holla, and I'll send over some suppliers' contacts. Thanks.
