Tools

Ladies...dump out those bags! It may be time to brush up on your current go-to cosmetic tools.

Buzz in the makeup world continues to tout the importance of quality makeup ingredients...and rightly so. But never forget that a truly beautiful, fast and precise makeup application is achieved by the condition and type of brush used.

Your cosmetic brushes are the most important beauty tools you'll use on your face and are necessary to ensure a flawless and professional makeup session!

There are many hair types and materials used in crafting top of the line cosmetic brushes…below are a few tips to help you choose the best brushes for optimum results!

When shopping for pro- artisan tools look for:

·   Natural quality brushes made with glam black goat hair, known for its softness and strength, or pony and badger hair.

·   Synthetic fibers such as taklon are best used for concealer and eye shadow application.

·   Brushes with wooden handles - most makeup artists prefer wooden handles for both durability and control.

·   Quality metal ferrules with deep ribbing – designed to keep the brush from wobbling and the hair from separating.

At Likehers.com we only carry handmade natural glam black goat hair cosmetic brushes for our Kabuki, Bronzer, and Blusher. We also offer an animal-friendly Taklon Concealer and Shadow brush made specifically for the delicate eye area.

Remember, you should only have “one face” so treat it well!

Professional must-have brushes include:

·   A Kabuki brush with full domed head – use with minerals, face and body powders or color.

The name kabuki comes from a style of Japanese theater defined by actors who wear heavy, stylized makeup.

·   A concealer brush with taklon fibers offers coverage without caking

·   Bronzing brush with a flat base – ideal for highlighting and contouring

·   A Blush brush with a domed head offers medium coverage – use with color, powders or glitter

·   Shadow brush with taklon fibers is ideal for the delicate eye area and blends color beautifully

 High-quality cosmetic brushes with proper care can last a lifetime…

It’s recommended to clean brushes occasionally with a mild makeup cleaner using warm water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and lightly pat dry. Always ensure brushes are completely dry before your next makeup application.
