Make up brushes make all the different in make up application. But, I bet most of use are quite confused with all these brushes cause some of it looks kinda same but actually they function differently. I have some guide on how the brushes function and some tips. So, lets read ! 


Blush Brush

This brush need to be wide enough to cover the apple of your cheek. This bristle should be soft,
natural hair with beveled and curved edges.


Bronzer Blush

This brush is thicker and fuller than blush brush and has a flat profile. it's designed for sweeping
and pressing bronzer on cheeks, forehead, nose and chin to provide
neutral-looking warmth to the skin.


Brow Brush

A brow with stiff, short bristle cut on an angle. Designed for applying shadow to the brows.
look for a synthetic / neutral blend of bristle, as the 100 percent synthetic brushes
are too stiff and don't deposit color as effectively.


Brow Grooming Blush

This for brushing brows into place, it has stiff  bristle cut straight across like a toothbrush.


Concealer Brush

this brush should have firm but soft bristle that aren't too hard and scratchy, since the brush will be used on the delicate skin under the eyes. look for a brush with glossy synthetic hair, as this slip along the skin. the end of the bristle should be tapered to help you place concealer in hard-to-reach spot such as the inner corner of the eyes, and apply stick foundation to cover any redness around the nose.


Eye Blender Brush

A soft, fluffy, neutral hair brush with long bristles designed to blend eye shadow and eliminate lines of demarcation on the lids after applying multiple shades. it is also great for applying powder to set corrector, concealer, or foundation around the eyes or over blemishes cover.


Eye Contour Brush

A round, flat-head, neutral-hair brush. short, dense bristles, apply greater amount of shadow in the crease to contour the eyes.


Eye Shader Brush

A wide, flat- head brush that can gently sweep eye shadow color over the entire lid, from the lash line to the brow bone.


Eye Shadow Brush

wide enough to cover about half of the eyelid, this brush has neural, soft, rounded bristles with beveled edges that deposit a sweep of shadow across the lower lid without leaving any harsh lines.


Eye Smudge Brush

A small-head brush with a slightly rounded point. this brush has soft, flexible bristle that help smudge liner to create smoky look.


Eyelash Curler

Look for a basic metal version with rubber pads. An eyelash curler shapes lashes into
neutral-looking curl. Replace pads regularly. To avoid breakage,
always curl the lashes before applying mascara.


Eyeliner Brush (Angled) / Eye Definer Brush

This small brush has very short, dense bristles out on an angle. It is designed to use with eye shadow to strengthen thin brows or as an alternative to an eye liner brush.


Eyeliner Brush (Flat)

With flat, dense, synthetic bristle that are slightly rounded at tip, this brush can be used wet or dry to apply a precise line at the lash line.


Eyeliner Brush ( Ultra Fine)

The bristles on this small brush are synthetic, dense and curved to a point. Perfect for the precise application of liquid or gel eyeliner.


Face Blender Brush

A natural or synthetic brush used to deposit shimmer, bronzer, powder or blush.


Face Brush

A neutral or synthetic fluffy, curved brush that can be used to apply bronzer, blush, or powder.


Foundation Brush

Synthetic bristles in this full, flat-edged brush deposit just the right amount of foundation onto the skin.


Lip Brush

Firm, long bristles come to a slightly pointed tip. this brush allow for the precise placement of lip color. Bristles can be either synthetic or neutral.


Powder Brush

A neutral hair, large, fluffy brush with soft bristles that bevel to a slight point ( for navigating around the nose and under the eyes). Designed for use with both loose or pressed powder.


Powder Puff

A velour  puff that's about the size of your palm. Designed to press powder onto the face to lock foundation in place. Can be hand washed or tossed in the dishwasher (at least once a week).



Sponges

Disposable sponges are invaluable. Wedge-shaped ones are great for applying foundation around the nose and other hard-to-reach places, as well as for blending. Don't bother washing them-toss dirty ones, and take new one. Higher quality sponges can be washed and reused many times.



Touch Up Brush

Short, firm, Neutral-bristled brush used with foundation for spot touch-ups and har-to-reach areas around the nose and mouth. This brush can also be used to touch up concealer and apply eye shadow.


Tweezers

It's well worth investing in a good pair. Tweezers that are angled at the tip are easier to control than those that come to a sharp point. always cover tweezers tips with cap when they are not in use.


Using Young Finger

Nothing beats the warmth of the fingers to blend the makeup into the skin. Lipstick can be blotted onto the lips to create a stain effect.  Face cream, balm, or oil rubbed between both palms and gently pressed onto cheeks adds moistures and youthful glow to the face. Use hands to warm concealers and blend foundation, and mix lip shades together. also use hands to work makeup into the face so that the makeup feels like a part of the skin and not like a mask instead !
