Tips & Tricks

When one thinks of a “face brush”, usually the thought is a tool that simply does that work of applying powder - whether blush, foundation, finishing powder, shimmer, etc. - to your face. If you think more closely into what a face brush is, and what it does, you just may start to be more appreciative for what these can do for us, and so often too. Think back to when you first started wearing makeup, for most of us this would be in our teen years. Finally we could attempt to look like the women we looked up to in movies, in books, or in real life. But maybe that’s not what got you started. Perhaps it was the dreaded acne that came upon you and caused you to go searching for a remedy or a coverup. Well, you probably didn’t wipe on powder concealer with your fingertips.

The question on how best to apply our base powder has come up in the past, and this may sound like an easy, no-brainer that certainly doesn’t require a blog post on it. Well, hey, I actually disagree. Foundation is one of the most purchased makeup products in our day. A decent amount of women with the seemingly “perfect” skin we crave will even go for foundation coverage, but skip concealer altogether. All natural no-makeup makeup looks more often than not require foundation as the base to the look. With that being said, tips are welcome and I’ve discovered a few in my own experience as well as hearing from my most-trusted friends. Read more
