Everything you need to know about facial brushes
There are so many different choices when it comes to brushes! You have them in all kinds of different shapes and sizes. Then you also have the hairs that are cut differently every time. One brush feels firm and the other is super soft. But what exactly do you use which brush for? Below is an overview of all the different face brushes and what you can use them for!
blush brushes
The blush brush is a brush that is naturally used to apply blush. It is a super soft brush with lots of bristles so that the blush can be applied perfectly. In addition to blush, you can also apply bronzer and highlighter with this brush!
bronzer brushes
For example, a tapered face brush is perfect for applying bronzer! It is a nice large brush with bristles that are slightly cut off on the sides, so you can create beautiful subtle results. Are you going for a look that is not subtle? Then you can also build up your bronzer with this brush by applying an extra layer!
Concealer brushes
Concealer brushes have short, firm bristles. The brush is designed for applying concealer to hard-to-reach areas. There are concealer brushes in different shapes, with a slightly convex rounding, a tapered buffer, to easily highlight the inside of the corners of your eyes, or a false-cut brush to, for example, line your eyebrows nicely. To apply concealer under your eyes and around your nose or on uneven spots on your face, it is best to use the classic concealer brush with flat, rounded bristles.
contour brushes
Just like with the concealer brushes, there are also many different types of contour brushes. You use one for a subtle effect, the other for a super sharp contour. Large, small, tapered and compact brushes. And then there are of course the different brushes for powder and cream products! There is always one that works well for you.

highlighter brushes
Highlighter brushes come in two different types. The "regular" brush and the "fan" brush. The regular brush is also available in two versions: the highlighter and the tapered highlighter brush. With both types you can apply your highlighter flawlessly. The only difference is that the tapered highlighter brush is a bit larger and ends a bit in a tip because of the cut sides. The highlighter brush is a bit smaller, so you can easily apply product to smaller surfaces, such as on your nose and under your eyebrows.
And then you have the fan brush, or the fan brush. This one is perfect for applying highlighter to your cheekbones! In addition to applying highlighter to your cheekbones, this is also very useful for applying your nose and brow highlighter!
powder brushes
Powder brushes also come in different shapes and sizes. This way you have smaller brushes with closely packed bristles. The compactness of such a brush allows you to apply powders without any problems. The size of the brush also makes it easy to powder under the eyes or nose.
