Are you using the right brush for every makeup need? You might not be—and your makeup might be suffering because of it.
Take a blending brush: It’s got a long handle but a somewhat stubby brush element. That allows you to get a better grip and to blend with dexterity and firmness. But this type of brush isn’t even used until everything else gets applied. A concealer brush, on the other hand, has the same long handle but a brush section that’s shorter and narrower that tapers. It’s firmness and smaller size allows you to get to dark spots and crevices, among others, to best cover them up.
No matter how many brushes you end up having, what you need to do is take good care of them. If you don’t, you run the risk of bacteria spreading from brush to makeup to your skin.
This helpful graphic guides you through every brush choice and care options, too.
