A Guide To Choosing Makeup Tools

A Guide To Choosing Makeup Tools

Any beauty expert will tell you that the success of makeup application may be attributed to having used the right makeup tools. Basic in every makeup toolbox are the following: makeup sponge, powder brush, blusher brush, eyeshadow brush, eyeshadow sponge, all-in-one eyelash brush or comb, lipbrush, eyebrow tweezers, eyelash curlers, and last but not least, lighted mirror.
When choosing the perfect makeup sponge, consider one that has both a finer edge and a flatter edge. The finer edge of the sponge will be used to blend the foundation on the area around the nose and jawline, while its flatter edge will be used for the areas around the cheeks, forehead and chin. When looking for a powder brush, go for a large, soft brush. A powder brush is important so your face powder will not appear caked or clogged. Next, choose a blusher brush that is full and rounded, and a bit smaller than a powder brush.

Also, your basic makeup toolbox must contain several eyeshadow brushes. Eyeshadow brushes that are flat-shaped are recommended for easier blending of the eyeshadow. When looking for a good pair of eyebrow tweezers, go for something that has a sharp and slanted tip as this can hold the hair much better. When looking for the perfect mirror, consider the following: magnification, lighting capabilities, convenience, personal preferences and personal needs. Remember, too, that mirrors play a huge role in how your makeup will look like. If, for example, your mirror does not provide you with sufficient lighting, you could end up with makeup that is slightly off-center.

When it comes to eyeshadow sponge, eyelash brush, lip brush, or eyelash curler, there are no particular recommended kinds. The important thing is you are comfortable using them and that they do not cause any allergic reactions to your skin.
