FOUNDATION BRUSH
This brush is typically used to apply any foundation all over the face. The flat bristles provide effortless application and create a smooth and flawless canvas, while the ends of the brush allow you to apply the product to those hard to reach areas like around the corners of the nose, and around the eyes and hairline. There are two types — tapered and rounded. Tapered is best for blending liquid and cream foundations while rounded contain densely packed bristles that blend as they brush and impart a smoother, more natural appearance.
APPLICATION TIP: It is important to note when applying foundation with this type of brush that you don’t drag the product along your face as this often creates a streaky look. Instead you should use a foundation brush with gentle tapping or stippling motions to create a more natural and even finish, or if you’re using a tapered foundation brush, use downward strokes for seamless application. And be sure to check your makeup in natural sunlight for any streaks or lines. See more at ,,,
