Types of makeup brushes



Foundation Brush
There are two main types of foundation brushes. The first (mostly used for liquids) has short, puffy bristles that end in a flat edge. Out of that edge are longer bristles, which smoothly blend the foundation into your face. The other (used for liquids and creams) is a more standard looking artist's brush. Its bristles are soft, compact and end in a shallow point.

Powder Brush
The most well-known makeup brush is the powder brush. It is used to either dust loose powder onto your face or to brush off existing powder. This brush usually has relatively short, soft bristles. The softest of these are made from raccoon or squirrel hair.

Eyeshadow Brushes
Eyeshadow brushes can come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on your needs. Usually a smaller bush is used to line the crease of the eyelid, a mid-sized one for the surface of the eyelid and a larger one for adding highlight to the brow bone. These brushes are fluffy for powdered eyeshadow or silky for liquid.

Blush Brush
Blush brushes are similar to powder brushes, but are usually a bit smaller. They have medium-length, fluffy bristles that help evenly apply blush onto your face.

Lip Brush
The small lip brushes have diamond-shaped bristles and are designed to apply lipstick with a smooth, even coverage.

Kabuki Brush
The kabuki brush has a short handle and lots of soft, firmly packed bristles. They are typically used to apply mineral makeup or facial powder. Kabuki brushes are designed to buff powders and minerals into the skin, but can remove too much if used as a powder brush.

Angle Brush
The angle brush's bristles are cut at an angle instead of straight across. The result is a brush with a fairly chiseled edge and pointed end. Fluffy angle brushes are often used for working makeup into the crease of the eyelid, while silky ones are used to apply eyeliner and sometimes lipstick.
