This post would benefit a lot of us who are so
passionate about beauty and yet appreciate the value of savings! Some of us buy
a bunch of makeup brushes and after a few weeks they are all lying idle in
every corner of the room.. Nawooh!
Without much preamble, let's go straight to the
point!
1. Foundation Brush
The Flat foundation brush is a synthetic brush used
to apply liquid or cream foundation on the face.
The duo fibre brush is specifically designed to
generate an airbrushed finish when used to apply a liquid foundation. DUO FIBRE
BRUSH costs about N7, 000.
But don’t be scared I just discovered its
alternative: Recently, I found a new tool for applying foundation that gives me
that satisfying airbrush finish! Haha! It's a BEAUTY BLENDER (an egg
shaped makeup sponge) and it Costs about "N165" for one piece. Go get yours now!!!
2.
Powder/Blush Brush:
BEST FOR POWDER AND BLUSH
Powder brush is used to apply pressed or loose
powder all over the face. It is also fantastic for using as a bronzing brush
for larger areas of the skin such as the neck. The bristles pick up the perfect
amount of color (powder/bronzer) and distributes flawlessly onto the skin. Medium-sized
powder brush can also be used to apply blush on apple of the cheek. POWDER/BLUSH
BRUSH costs N5, 980
Just hear this again, because I have another
alternative: POWDER FOAM/DISC FOAM is used to apply powder on the face.
With this, you can massage the powder to penetrate evenly and hence, more
flawless look will be achieved! It relatively cheap and costs about N50 for
one.
3.
Eye shadow Brush:
BEST FOR EYE SHADOW
Used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and
pigments to the eyelid For that perfect attraction you need for
your lid and creases of the eye, makeup artists say well-crafted mixed-fiber
brushes are a necessary expense. Stiffer synthetic hair deposits color, the
rounded top lets you hit that crease, and softer fibers work "like a
windshield wiper to spread and blend the color," says L. A. makeup artist
Fiona Stiles
Any alternative? Not known yet (***Smiles***)
4.
Contour Brush
A smaller head of natural
bristles—like the ones on Marc Jacobs' Angled Blush Brush. With it you target
where color goes and blends for a natural finish. You can also use the slanted
edge for contouring, giving you more bang for your buck. A single contour brush costs N4, 225
ALTERNATIVE: you can use your eye shadow brush for this purpose
5. Flat Angled Brush
The small angled or slanted brush is used to fill
the sparse area of the brows.. Getting a single ANGLED BROW BRUSH can cost N3,
380
ALTERNATIVE: Thick COTTON BUDS can be used for
shaping the eyebrow arch when dipped in concealer or foundation. Costs about
N169 for a 150psc
6. Spiral Eyebrow Brush
This is used to take excess mascara from the lashes
to avoid clogging. This makes the brow even if it is drawn with a pencil or
brow filler to appear natural. It is also used to tone down eye pencil from the
brows when it's too much!
An example is MAC LASH BRUSH and it costs N2, 536
ALTERNATIVE: Do u know that an OLD MASCARA WAND
works magic? U can wash for use and it serves perfectly as it's same as the
spiral eyebrow brush. It costs nothing! There are so many other brushes.
From my List above ...with brush 1 and 2, be sure to have that flawless base
you seek.
Brush 3 and l4 would help you blend colors on the
eyelid perfectly and contour on the crease respectively.
Brush 5 and 6 would help you achieve the perfect
brow arch.
But I suggest you buy a complete set of makeup
brushes which will cost you only N4,500 for just your personal make up or if
you are a makeup artist you can go for a bigger set of makeup brushes which is
about N12,0000 in the market. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
