To achieve a perfect makeup look, in addition to high-quality cosmetics, a professional and practical makeup brush is also important. However, there are many types of makeup brushes on the market, not only eye shadow brushes, rouge brushes, eyebrow brushes, etc. There are many styles, but the price ranges from less than 10 yuan on Taobao to a sky-high price of thousands of yuan each. For novices in makeup, the selection and use of makeup brushes is really a profound knowledge.
Types of makeup brushes:
For full makeup, you need to use eyebrow brush, concealer brush, lip brush, eye shadow brush, foundation brush, rouge brush, powder brush, and you can also add light and shadow brushes and shadow brushes. The eye shadow brush, light and shadow brush and shadow brush have different sizes to facilitate smudging.
The hair of the makeup brush is mostly divided into animal hair and artificial hair. Animal hair is softer, while artificial hair such as rayon and nylon bristles are harder and less durable.
Tips for choosing a makeup brush:
Generally speaking, the requirements for makeup brushes are divided into three points: the bristles are soft and full, the bristles are not easy to fall off, and they are easy to use. If the bristles are soft and full, the smudge effect of the makeup will be more natural and the color will be developed; if the bristles are easy to fall off, it means that the makeup brush is not durable, and it will become inconvenient when applying makeup. The last point is whether the makeup brush is convenient to use, such as the feel when it is held and the cutting of the bristles.
When you want to test the quality of the makeup brush, you can first press the brush on the back of your hand, and then gently sweep with a circular brush to see whether the brush is neatly cut, and you can also test whether the bristles are soft and comfortable.
Is a high priced makeup brush the same as easy to use?
"You get what you pay for" is of course the same truth, but in fact, when buying a makeup brush, you don't necessarily only ask for expensive prices. For example, eyebrow brushes and lip brushes are mainly used to apply thick creamy cosmetics. Even if the bristles are harder, there is no big difference, because you can choose this cheap makeup brush. Eye shadow brushes, rouge brushes and other makeup brushes that specialize in powdery makeup need soft and comfortable bristles to create a natural blending and uniform color makeup.

If the makeup brush is not cleaned frequently, it is easy to harbor bacteria. If you use a dirty makeup brush every day, it means that you will keep sweeping bacteria on your face. Make-up brushes should be cleaned every week. First, soak the make-up brush in soapy water for about ten minutes, then rinse it in a circle under cold water. After finishing the bristles, you can lay them flat on a towel, or hang them to dry with the bristles facing down. .
In addition to regular cleaning once a week, after daily use, you can gently wipe the makeup brush on a clean paper towel in circular motions to wipe away excess residual makeup in the bristles.
