Angled Brush: This type of brush can be used for a several different things, typically used on the cheekbone area for contouring. |
Blending Brush: Blending brushes are usually used on the eyes for blending or smudging different eye shadows together. For more on eye shadows, go to this page here. |
Blush Brush: Or a 'tapered brush' or a 'rounder brush'. Regardless on what you call it, this brush is often used to apply blush to the apples of thine cheeks! |
Bronzing Brush: Ah, I love the feel of a fresh bronzing brush! This fabulousness right here is used to adding just a smudge of broznor to your face! |
Eyeliner Brush: You can find the eyeliner with the brushes included pretty much anywhere, but you can also buy these brushes independently. |
Eye Shadow Brush: Believe it or not, but you use an eye shadow brush to apply eye shadow to your eyelids. It's pretty life changing when you think about it. |
Fan Brush: You can use this brush to a apply just a hint of blush, contouring, or foundation. You can also use it remove excess product without messing up all your work! |
Foundation Brush: I use mine when I use liquid foundation and need to actually blend it into my skin. |
Kabuki Brush: I just bought my very first one quite recently and love it! It's fabulous for blending in power products like foundation! |
Lashes Brush: Not to be confessed with a spoolie, I use mine to smooth my brows all sorts of ways before trimming. |
Powder Brush: Quite similar to the Kabuki brush which the exception of the brush handle being longer. Used to apply powder products to the face. |
Shadow Sponge: I thought that this was the coolest thing ever when I first started doing my makeup but I don't used them now that I have more brushes. This is basically used to apply eye shadow to your eyelids. |
Square Foundation Brush: I personally have never used one of these, but a few of my makeup artists friends do and love them. They are used the same way that a rounded foundation brush is used. |
Stipple Brush: One of my Mac friends got me hooked on these brushes and I really like them. I use mine to mush my liquid products in before I go ahead a blend. I feel like it allows for that really soft contouring that I love. |
Ultra Fine Brush: You can use this brush to apply eyeliner if you're going for that super thin look! |
I really hope that clarified some of the most common makeup brushes and their uses!
