What for what needs to be used from the whole arsenal is a separate science, comparable only with the etiquette of using cutlery. At least about the same number of different brushes and brushes. How not to get lost in them? Let's figure it out together.
So what are some
makeup brushes
? Natural and artificial - you say. And you will be right. Moreover, the first of them are made from the fur of very different animals: squirrels, a column, a pony, goats or sable. The characteristics of the brush and its scope depend on this. Usually, wide and soft specimens are made from natural fibers, intended for applying powder, blush, corrective means, shimmers on the
face oval . Synthetic brushes are usually tougher. They are used for applying eyeliner, lipstick. They are less whimsical to care than natural.

Also, such a large brush can be used to apply powder. This is usually necessary in cases where a very thin layer is required.
Sometimes devices for applying cosmetics have very poetic names. For example - by analogy with the Japanese theater - kabuki. Yes, there are such makeup brushes. What is used for such unusual species? Kabuki usually have a very short handle and a thick pile. Such a brush is dense, rounded in shape - it is precisely due to it that kabuki is convenient to use for applying liquid products - tonal foundation, cream, liquid powder. Due to the thin and densely knocked down pile, it is excellent for blending the boundaries between the funds. And kabuki is convenient to apply light mineral powder, consisting of ultrafine particles.

For a more detailed drawing of the contours of the face, emphasizing the cheekbones, back of the nose, chin, another brush is used - beveled.
But for foundation, you can use thinner brushes - one synthetic, rounded, for applying an even, neat layer. The second, having flat edges, the flaws can be carefully shaded and made invisible transitions from tone to tone. In addition, you should separately have a brush for concealer in your luggage . It is similar to those described above, but much thinner. Due to this, it can be applied a concealer in such inaccessible places as areas around the eyes.
For eye shadow and eyeliner use thin synthetic makeup brushes. They come in various shapes - conical, barrels, beveled, pencil-like - each designed for a separate type of drawing, whether it be subtle transitions, shading, neat arrows. There are also separate products for eyebrows. Most often, such brushes are also equipped with brushes so that the eyebrows can be combed.
The number of brushes in the makeup bag of a girl who is fluent in applying makeup techniques can reach 30 pieces. Many firms offer packaged sets of such devices.
