We are here to give you the low-down on all things brushes! There are so many makeup brushes out there, each with a unique shape and purpose. But what shape of brush should you be using? And how many is too many when it comes to makeup brushes? The questions we hear go on and on! But have no fear, these tips from our team at Faces by FREDA will give you all the brush basics, so you are on your way to getting the most out of all your products. Having the right tools in your bag is the first step to a flawless application.
“How much should I spend on my brushes?”
Brushes are such an important investment that you’ll have for many years. Investing in good brushes will save on time and effort during application. There’s no magic number you should spend, but we encourage you to not measure it based on price. Instead, think about the investment to look and feel your best. Doing so will make sure you are saving time and effort during your application. We know you work hard, so invest in things to better yourself! You’re worth it!
“How many do I need?”
Although there are hundreds upon hundreds of brush types, the everyday woman doesn’t need more than just a handful. Try to find some brushes that can do some double-duty. For example, you can use the same angled brush for your blush and your bronzer. Just make sure to clean the brushes between applications, as you don’t want to transfer product. You can always invest and expand your brush collection once you’ve mastered using the ones you have. Don’t over purchase!
“What sizes do I need?”
The size of the brush is important especially when it comes to your particular eye shape and size. Make sure you have at least two different sizes of brushes for eye makeup so you can achieve that contoured look in the crease. It’s best to see one of our professionals for a quick lesson on how to apply. We’ll teach you all the tricks so you can master on your own!
“What’s the most important thing to remember about makeup brushes?”
Keep them clean! As we’ve mentioned before, regular cleanings are paramount when it comes to brush maintenance. A brush holder is also essential when traveling with your brushes. You don’t want to cause contamination by throwing them in with all the other items in your makeup bag. You also don’t want to transfer product if you have a multipurpose brush.
