The best make-up brushes for a fabulous finish

Whether it's powder, eye shadow or blusher, make-up is best applied with a brush. Make-up brushes help to effectively distribute products to the respective parts of the face, resulting in a wonderful, natural finish and a look that lasts for the entire day. But which make-up brushes are there and what should you look out for when buying one?

Why do I need a make-up brush?

By dipping the make-up brush into the product, it gently absorbs the pigments of eye shadow, blusher and the like. The soft bristles then distribute them evenly over the skin, where they remain.

Beginners often apply their make-up with their finger tips to start with. However, the result is much more precise once you switch to a brush. This allows for gentler transitions and subtle highlights, ensuring a more consistent result, an even complexion and a beautiful look. For this reason, it's worth purchasing a make-up brush.

What make-up brushes are there?

There are lots of different make-up brushes – they vary in shape, firmness and size. As the various products are applied to different parts of the face, each brush has a different function.

Small brushes for the eyes, lips or highlights enable you to work with precision, drawing fine lines or adding accents. In order for blusher, powder and bronzer to be blended properly, thus avoiding a mask-like appearance, larger brushes with soft bristles are required.

Depending on the purpose, product and area of the skin, we recommend the following make-up brushes:

• Eyeshadow brush
• Powder brush
• Foundation brush
• Blusher brush
• Eyeliner brush
• Concealer brush
• Highlighter brush
• Lip brush
• Powder puff

If you want multiple high-quality brushes for your make-up routine, why not invest in a practical brush set. What's more, the purpose of each brush can usually be determined from its name – so it's quick and easy to find the right make-up brush for any application.

What accessories are there for make-up brushes?

Make-up brushes tend to last a very long time – however they do need the right kind of care. Regular cleaning is also important to prevent bacteria being transferred from the brushes to the skin. There are special brush cleaners that will clean your make-up brushes in no time.

If you travel a lot and don't want to be without your make-up, you can keep your make-up brushes in make-up brush bags. This will protect them in your luggage.

What should I look out for when buying a make-up brush?

First, you should consider what you need a make-up brush for. You will also need to decide whether you want a make-up brush made of real hair or synthetic. This comes down to personal preference. Brushes made of real hair are usually better suited to powdery make-up, while synthetic brushes are often more effective for applying products with a creamy consistency.
