What are the different types of foundation brushes available in the market, and what are their respective uses?

As someone specializing in making brushes, I must talk about them carefully.

Foundation brush type 1: long-haired flat brush

Features: Most foundation brushes are of this type. The bristles are made of man-made fibers, mostly relatively long, and the tails are oval or square.

Usage: Use the front part of the bristles to touch the skin with about one-half to one-third of the bristles, and use a sliding push to spread the foundation or stack the liquid foundation.

Disadvantages: The concealing ability is weak, and it will not absorb the moisture in the foundation.

Suitable for: people with a good skin condition or dry skin.

Foundation brush type 2: flat head round brush

Features: There are more and thicker bristles, and the ends are cut flat.

Usage: The brush head touches the skin in a circular motion, which can produce an effect similar to polishing.

Suitable for: those with a poor skin condition. Or use it after base makeup, when using partial concealer, use it with cream foundation.

How to use the flat head round brush in detail:

1. Squeeze 1 grain of soybean-sized liquid foundation or cream foundation into the palm or the back of the palm, dip the round brush upright, and let the entire brush head plane be evenly dipped in the liquid foundation or cream foundation.

2. The angle between the round brush and the skin is 90°, and the brush head touches the skin on a flat surface. From the inside to the outside, draw a spiral circle on the whole face, so that the foundation can be evenly applied to the whole face.

3. For the corners of the mouth, nose, eyes, etc., use the same method to strengthen the concealer.

Foundation brush type three: short-haired ball brush

Features: The tufts are large, the volume is thick, and the brush head is spherical.

Usage: Use the end third of the brush to touch the skin, the stacking and concealing ability are medium, the makeup effect is between the above two brushes, and it can be used with cream foundation.

Suitability: It is a relatively broad variety.

How to use the short hairball brush in detail:

1. Squeeze a bean-sized amount of creamy foundation into the palm or back of the palm, and dip the brush head at a 60° angle so that the foundation is evenly dipped in the front third.

2. When in use, the ball brush and the skin form an angle of 60°. Apply in a dragging motion from the inside out until the foundation is evenly distributed over the entire face.

3. The corners of the mouth, the nose’s wings, and the eyes’ corners are strengthened by drawing C, and the cheeks with large pores on both sides of the nose are covered by tapping and pressing.
