BRUSH UP ON BRUSHES: CONCEALER
Brush up on Brushes: Step 1 Concealer
Brushes are a makeup artist’s right hand. I am certain that an Allure Magazine or Vanity Fair cover has never been shot with a brush-less makeup artist.
Understanding the function of a makeup brush will help you in creating superlative makeup. Knowing the purpose and payoff of the brush also allows for creativity to flourish, thinking outside of the box.
Concealer brushes are the topic of discussion as the concealer brush is often the first brush that touches the face during the makeup application.
Synthetic brushes have become most popular for concealer, because synthetic haired brushes can be used both wet and dry. Natural hair brushes can also be used to apply concealer, results are best when used clean and dry.
Movable concealer textures, glide onto skin evenly using both natural hair and synthetic brushes. A synthetic brush is a great tool used when spot treating skin’s dark pigments or covering redness. Use the natural hair brush in a sweeping and to soften concealer applications and smooth out fine lines created by over concealing.
