Brush for blush

Good makeup brushes are a very competent investment in their impeccable appearance. The success of applying makeup depends on them. Particular care should be taken when choosing a brush for blush.

In the cosmetic market you can find not only compact blush, but also crumbly, ball, liquid. To ensure the perfect application of each of these types, manufacturers have taken care to create different versions of brushes. In addition, the use of a brush gives a different effect.

Having gone to the store for shopping, we certainly come across various names on the labels. On the shelves you can find such names as: beveled, round, “kabuki”, fan, “blade”, duofiber - all these are brushes for blush. Further we will understand what each of them represents.

In applying blush, you should use a brush designed specifically for them. It is not recommended to replace it with another one, for example, with a powder brush. The result will not be the same. The brush should be of high quality, strong with a pleasant nap. Its shape should correspond to the type of applied rouge. It is imperative to wash and keep clean more often. In this respect, brushes with a cap protecting the bristles from bacteria and dirt are quite practical.

You can find brushes for blush with different shapes. And here there is quite a logical dilemma: which one to choose. The fact is that they serve for different purposes. Therefore, to find your ideal option, you should decide which effect is needed: soft or more clear.

So, here are the most common types of brushes:

• Beveled. They are flatter than others, with a sloping upper part, for which they got their name. Such brushes could not be good for creating clear contours and their neat shading.
• Round (in other words, “kabuki”) are focused on blush blush. Thin and clear lines will not draw, but they will evenly distribute the tool, erase the transition from rouge to bronzer. There are folding models that are convenient to take with you, because they do not take up much space.
• "shoulder blades", they are fan ones. They are used at the final stage of the make-up to remove excess cosmetics without damaging the makeup and leaving no traces behind them. Ideally blend the transitions of the highlighter, bronzer and blush.

For a certain type of blush, one or another brush is preferable:

• Cream - a brush from synthetic pile;
• Compact or crumbly - from natural;
• Ball - natural wide of soft fluffy pile.

In the assortment of some cosmetic companies you can find brushes with rouge inside. Such kits are practical: they save space in a cosmetic bag, they are convenient to use outside the home. Models in a metal case with a sliding design are very compact. Because of such packaging, it is convenient to carry them with you, in order to correct the make-up as needed.

Brushes for rouge, however, as well as for other decorative means, can be made both from natural materials, and from artificial. Before you give preference to something specific, you need to understand their features.

The advantages of brushes with synthetic pile:

• Affordable;
• More durable;
• Do not need special care;
• Easy to wash.

In the production of natural brushes use fur fur animals (blue squirrel, sable, column), as well as pony and goat hair. They are more pleasant and light when interacting with the skin. But, accordingly, the prices for such brushes will be much higher.In addition, require more thorough care. In addition to synthetic and natural, there are mixed brushes (duofiber) on the market, where both types of materials are combined. They are easily distinguished by the presence of two colors, where the artificial pile will always be lighter.

Among worthy state employees can be identified brush:

• Avon - artificial oval and natural beveled. In the limited edition there is an option with a beautiful floral design for a spring mood;

Buying makeup brushes is a pretty crucial moment. Trusting in this issue online shopping, you can often miscalculate. Therefore, it is better to go to a specialized store in order to personally verify the quality of the goods. Firstly, before the acquisition, it is necessary to carefully consider the nap. Regardless of the origin (natural or synthetic), it must be packed tight enough, but at the same time, not hard to touch. The bristles cannot scratch the face, their touch is as light and pleasant as possible.

Secondly, it is necessary to check if the bristles do not fade and stain the skin. This often results in poor quality black-brushed brushes, which leave dirty streaks on the face and fall off after washing. To check it is necessary to shake the hand intensively in the hands, and then move the palm in different directions.

Thirdly, it is important to ensure the strength of the tool. The handle should have elasticity, the metal tip should fit snugly, and the pile should be securely attached to the handle.

Feel free to smell the nap - there should be no unpleasant chemical smell. If the brush meets all the above requirements, then we are dealing with a decent tool.

It is not recommended to paint with brushes, which are sold along with rouge. In most cases, they are of poor quality, and their shape “adapts” not to the needs of the buyer, but to the size of the package. Keep in mind that high-quality brushes are quite expensive, especially from natural lint or combined. Even artificial will cost a decent amount. The cost of production is high in itself, so do not trust suspiciously profitable options on sales. Too high risk of encountering low-quality goods. It is recommended to give preference to professional brands.

It is impossible to unequivocally answer which material is better: natural or synthetic. The leading factor here is the type of rouge that you use. Natural pile is intended for friable dry blush, it easily gathers small particles of cosmetics. Natural brushes eliminate the possibility of mechanical damage to the skin. In most cases, do not cause irritation and allergic reactions. But they can not fully guarantee hypoallergenicity. After all, there are girls with allergies to certain types of wool.

And natural pile cannot cope with fat creamy texture: the villi will simply stick together and clog. Therefore, artificial brushes are used for viscous types of cosmetics. Combined well proven in applying liquid blush. Thus, everything needs to be checked individually.

The method of applying blush depends on the shape of the face:

• Round - the line goes from the ear down the cheekbone, evenly shrinking in width.
• Extended - almost horizontal line from the middle of the ear to the middle of the nose.
• Square - line as for a round, only tapers from nose to ear.
• Triangular - rhombic line, increasing to the middle and again decreased to the end.
• Thin - a wide angular line along the cheekbones, descending from the ears to the middle of the face.
• Broad - a line of rouge as with a square face, just goes down the cheekbones, and does not go horizontally.

It is very important to apply the product with a suitable meter. With cream means you can not use natural brushes, only synthetic. If the blush in the balls are not recruited, then you have chosen the wrong brush. In this embodiment, you need a wide soft nap.

Each girl has his own preferences, in particular, regarding brushes for blush depending on the desired application effect, type of blush, as well as many other individual characteristics. Someone has already found his best tool, and someone else is in search and study recommendations. It is very pleasing that, in the majority of female customers, they prefer proven brands, not exchanging money for low-quality cheap fakes. Now you are armed with an excellent knowledge base and you can precisely choose the perfect brush for blush.
