A makeup brush is used to apply makeup onto the face. There are two types of brushes: synthetic and natural. Synthetic brushes are best for cream products and natural brushes are ideal for powder products. Using the appropriate brush to apply a certain product allows the product to blend into the skin evenly and smoothly.


 * A foundation brush is usually a dense brush that distributes the product evenly while smoothing out the face. This brush is best used to achieve full coverage.
 * A concealer brush has a small, tapered tip that allows for precise spot correction such as blemishes or discoloration.
 * A stippling brush has soft, synthetic bristles that gives an airbrushed finish. This brush is best used to achieve a light to medium coverage.
 * A blush brush comes in all shapes and sizes and is used to apply blush, allowing the blush to look natural while giving a flush of color.
 * A powder brush tends to be big and fluffy for quick and easy application of dusting powder all over the face. Powder gives the appearance of a matte effect.
 * A bronzer blush is a round, fluffy brush that gives a "sun-kissed" appearance to the face.
 * A contour brush can have a flat top or be angled which gives the illusion of having cheekbones.
 * A highlight brush, also known as a fan brush, has bristles that are typically spread out and is used to apply where the sun would naturally hit.
 * An eyeshadow brush is a dense brush that allows shadow to be packed on to the eyelid.
 * A blending eyeshadow brush is used to blend out any harsh lines you may have from the eyeshadow and can soften the eyeshadow look.
 * An eyeliner brush is tapered with an extra fine tip used for gel eyeliners which allows precision to line the eyes.
 * A spoolie is used to brush out eyebrows and can also be used as a mascara wand.
 * A lip brush is small to ensure precision and is used to apply lipstick evenly onto the lips.
