Whether you're creating eye makeup, lip makeup, or want to enhance your complexion, makeup brushes are helpful for applying cosmetics. They help you achieve an even makeup look and save product, as eyeshadows or powder won’t scatter around. The perfect brushes should have a few key features, namely:
- to be versatile, i.e., suitable for applying various types of cosmetics;
- comfortable to use, with a well-shaped handle and a handy pouch or case;
- has bristles that hold the cosmetic, preventing it from falling off and ensuring even application.
Natural or synthetic bristles?
Choose brushes that can handle any makeup look. For loose powders, natural bristle brushes work well. They are soft, responsive to pressure, and antiseptic, but at the same time, natural fibers have small gaps and holes where product can get trapped. Removing product from these brushes can be difficult, especially with oil-based or liquid formulas. That’s why we recommend synthetic brushes for liquid foundations or highlighters. Synthetic bristles are just as effective as natural ones and often make it easier to achieve the desired effect.
Perfect duet
A great pair that will complement virtually any type of makeup look is a soft one kabuki brush i Mango Sponge. TThis is a set for basic, everyday makeup, where you apply primer, foundation, powder, and eye makeup.
