There are plenty of brushes that one can use for applying foundation, concealers or makeup but women limit themselves to a handful.

It makes perfect sense not to use every single type, because when you find something that works you don’t feel the urge to experiment with anything else.

Nevertheless, it is worth knowing which are the alternatives and identify the ideal brush for different tasks, regardless of how similar they might appear to be.

Cream Foundation Brush
A somewhat slanted brush featuring a flat head is what you require for a cream foundation because it needs to be pressed into the skin while you swirl it.

The idea is to avoid streaking and achieve that airbrushed effect that is sought after, just the right amount of foundation onto the skin.

Liquid Foundation Brush
On the other hand, if you are using a different type of foundation, more precisely a liquid one, you don’t need a brush with natural bristles.

Synthetic ones are more efficient in covering space quickly, so when time is of the essence, and you don’t want to miss any spot, an angled brush will work wonders.

Smoothing the foundation shouldn’t take a lot of time, but if you want to achieve the best results in smoothing and blending, help yourself to a natural bristle brush.

Your skin will look terrific, and you won’t spend more than a minute to apply and smoothen the foundation.

Mineral Powder Foundation Brush
Mineral powder is an increasingly popular choice for foundation, and the good news is that you don’t need a special bristle to apply it correctly. Tarte has an excellent collection of natural or synthetic bristle hair brushes which apply minerals quickly and flawlessly.

Concealer Brush (for Under-Eye)
There is no need to take dark circles as a fact of life because now there are plenty of ways of covering them and the flat synthetic brush is one of them.

The advantage of using them instead of one featuring natural bristles is that the coverage will endure for a longer period as it picks up less product.You want to find a brush that has firm but soft bristles because you will be using this brush on sensitive areas.

Concealer Brush (for Blemish)
Pimples, broken capillaries and pretty much any blemish can be swiftly dealt with by using a pointed concealer brush with synthetic bristles.

Precise enough to apply the concealer exactly on the blemish with pinpoint accuracy, these brushes are going to help you showcase a flawless skin.

Powder Brush
A powder brush has to be made of natural bristles large, fluffy brush with soft bristles that bevel to a slight point as it is supposed to be used on those areas that have a natural tendency to gloss.

By addressing this shining, you will achieve an even tone, and your face as a whole will shine instead of select areas. Designed for use with both loose and pressed powder.

Blush Brush
This brush needs to be wide enough to cover the apple of your cheeks. Its always a plus to have a brush with soft bristles, and make sure this brush has curved edges.
