Foundation Brush

Any great makeup look starts from a perfected canvas. And a perfected canvas can only be achieved with the right tools.

Patchy, streaky or cakey foundation application can make even the best quality foundations look bad which is why it’s important to invest in a good foundation brush.

A foundation brush is a makeup brush that is shaped in a way that allows you to pick up, put down and blend foundations into every nook and cranny of the face with ease. Although makeup blending sponges have been popping up left, right and centre, a foundation brush is the superior option if you are looking for fuller coverage and less product wastage, as sponges tend to absorb product. Some people even choose to use both applicators by initially applying their foundation with a dedicated brush and then blending out any potential streaks with a sponge.

Which makeup brushes are best?

The two main types of makeup brushes are natural and synthetic.

Natural brushes, typically made out of animal hair, are commonly used by makeup artists and beauty gurus for their excellent ability to pick up and apply powder product. They are a good option for those who are sensitive to synthetic bristles, but of course, should be avoided if you are allergic to certain types of animal hair. Due to their porous nature, they are able to pick up product well, but this also means they have a tendency to soak up liquid and cream product.

Synthetic brushes, generally constructed with polyester and nylon, are the better option for those wishing to avoid using animal product. They are also usually cheaper and more resistant to damage. While not as superior at applying powder products as their natural hair counterpart, they work best with liquid and creams.

Then there are silicone brushes that come with their own pros and cons which at times, overlap. They tend to last longer than bristles as they don’t typically need as much maintenance. They are also relatively cheap and lightweight. They are non-porous which is good as it prevents a build-up of bacteria and won’t soak up your liquid and cream products, but the downfall of this is that it cannot absorb water the way a beauty blending sponge can in order to achieve a seamless blend.

How to use a makeup organiser

Makeup organisers are useful items for organising and compartmentalising your makeup products, beauty tools and accessories. You can use a makeup organiser to keep your makeup and beauty products neat and tidy, which may leave them in better condition than if they were confined in a makeup bag. Using a makeup organiser can also speed up your makeup application as you will be able to know exactly where to find each product whenever you need it.

Make effective use of your makeup organiser by compartmentalising products depending on a system that makes sense to you, whether that means organising products by use (eg. Face makeup products, Eye makeup products, Lip products, etc.) or by type (eg. Lipsticks, Lipliners, Eyeshadows, etc.).
