About the brush:
Your powder brush needs to be the most luxurious brush you own. Its job is to flawlessly blend powder over the surface of your skin to create a virtually smooth appearance. This brush can be used with all types of powders including foundation powders.
How to use:
It is important that this brush is rounded without any blunt edges created by the hairs. The concept is that no matter what angle you are pressing the brush to your face, you are achieving a smooth, even application. Always apply powder from the center of the face outwards in a slightly downward stroke. This way you will lay down and smooth any incidental surface hair on your face. Your brush needs to be firm enough to distribute the powder effectively and soft enough to not irritate the surface of your skin. The amount of resistance desired varies from person to person.
How to choose:
After visually checking to see if the brush is gently rounded, feel the amount of stiffness in the palm of your hand. If you like what you feel, try it on your face. If the brush passes the feel test, then apply product with the brush for the ultimate application test. If it passes all of your criteria, mark it down as a possible future brush for you. Be discerning. Don,t buy the first brush you like. Narrow it down to your three top choices then pick from those. It is better to spend more time picking out brushes because it will be touching your face every time you put on makeup and it will be with you for at least ten years. One other test I do on the brush I am about to purchase is to gently pull on the hairs to see how the particular brush I am purchasing is constructed. If you get a handful of hair, ask to see another brush! Remember to always check what the return policy is on all purchases. Some brushes seem great and a month later they evolve into a shedding monster. Expect to lose a few hairs with any brush, however if the amount of hair loss increases instead of decreases, exchange or return it.
