Foundation brush

The flat synthetic makeup brush is popular with both experienced professional makeup artists and beginners. With its help, you can easily distribute the foundation in the thinnest layer possible. Apply the tone along the massage lines and distribute it with light movements. The brush tends to leave streaks, so the movements should be as smooth as possible!

Powder brush

The powder brush is the foundation of the basics. It should be big and fluffy. Brushes made from natural materials are best suited for powder - then the powder is easily grabbed and evenly distributed over the face.

Blush brush

The dry texture blush brush is made of natural bristle. It is slightly smaller in size than the powder brush, as it is intended for applying the product more locally - on the apples of the cheeks and cheekbones. This brush often has a beveled edge for more convenient distribution of the product.

Flat eyeshadow brush

This brush is essential for applying eye shadow. With its help, we apply shadows to the eyelid using filling movements so that they are tightly fixed and have a rich, deep color.

Barrel eye shadow brush

A barrel-shaped makeup brush is essential for blending eye shadow. After we have applied the shadows with a flat brush, we need to blend them along the border using a barrel brush. Give preference to brushes made from natural squirrel or goat bristles.

Eyeliner brush

A convenient eyeliner brush will help you create spectacular eye makeup. With its unique shape, it can be used to create a smooth stroke along the base of the lashes from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. And as a result, get a beautiful, sophisticated arrow!

Lipstick brush

A lip brush is also one of the most essential ones. You can choose tools made from artificial or natural bristles, medium in size.

Eyebrow brush

The eyebrow brush is designed to work with special shadows and cream gels. It is characterized by a convenient diagonal cut. With the sharp tip of such a brush, you can shape the contour of the eyebrows, giving them a clearer outline, and perform shading that imitates hairs.
