  1. Powder Brush used with loose or pressed face powder, big and fluffy, yet dense for sweeping the entire area of the skin surface.

  2. Blush Brush the edges will be rounded or tapered to allow for a smooth application and control when blending cheek color.
  3. Blender Brush is large and often flat ended, used to take the edge off color products in large surface areas of the face.

  4. Eye Shadow Brushes come small, medium and large. Often these brushes come rounded, squared, and tapered, each with its purpose. Large eye shadow brushes are used to apply the all over lid color, and for blending. Medium bristles will give you more control for defining and contouring the crease area. Small bristle eye shadow brushes will get the corners, and offer control for lining or defining color.

  5. Lip Brush should be firm and are often pointed to allow control in the corner of the mouth and definition on the peaks of the lip. Look for a retractable or brush with a cap for sanitation and portability.

  6. Angle Brow Brush for shaping the eyebrows and applying brow color. Bristles will be firm and often coarse.

  7. Eyebrow Brush and Lash Comb used for grooming brows and combing through lashes to define and separate.
  8. Concealer Brush made most often of synthetic material bristles, used for applying concealer product and blending. Slightly tapered and flat head of brush is best.

  9. Velour Powder Puff used for pressing powder into the skin to seal orlock in foundation. A machine washable one the size of your palm is my choice and should last for six to eight months. Used to finish and smooth the face also.

  10. Sponges often referred to as wedges according to their shape. Used to blend foundation and smooth overall application.

  11. Cotton Pads used for applying cleansing products, and for blending, removing and absorbing.

  12. Tweezers metal ones with an angle edge are easiest to become accustomed to using.
