How To Use a Makeup Complexion Brush: How to Apply Foundation Like a Professional?

1. How to Choose the Right Brush for the Right Job

Brushes are made for specific tasks like blush, powder, eyeshadow, foundation, etc. Make sure you use the right brush for the right job. For example, if you want to put on foundation, then you want a foundation brush. Using the wrong brush can ruin your makeup and give you streaky results.

Below are some quick tips on how to use makeup composition as a foundation brush.

PROS

●      Composition is the “pulp” of the brush. You won’t ever need a lot of products once blended.

●      The use of pressure and bristles prevents making tiny lines.

●      Can realistically apply a range of foundation colours without streakiness.

CONS

●      Brushes aren’t made for denser shades.

●      Supplied with a subtle flat brush.

●      Brushes are harder to clean.

Classic makeup brush. The classic makeup brush is what comes with all of the other makeup vendors, like Sephora and Estee Lauder. From huge, thick brushes that are meant for cream products to miniature electric ones that are made to apply and blend foundation, there is something for everyone. There are bad ones and there are good ones. I am genuinely a big fan of the bad ones because they are great for scraping the foundation off of your face.

2. How to Use a Makeup Complexion Brush

AComplexion Makeup Brush is a must-have for applying makeup. It’s like the Swiss army knife of brushes because it can be used for multiple things. You can use it for applying a liquid foundation, applying powder, and even contouring with cream products. The most important thing to remember is not to use it on dry skin or sensitive areas. You don’t want to drag raw foundation onto these areas and do more damage than good. Using a makeup brush correctly will prevent your foundation from being streaky and looking uneven on every face. So, how do you use it and just how do you know when it’s going to work or not?

Here are the best tips to keep in mind:

Smooth and creamy is the key here. If you have dry skin, a little bit of texture can go a long way. Most importantly, science says the greatest way to control what you’re putting on your face is to use a consistency that lets the product run off without standing or settling. Try to use foundations–slathering consistency for foundation, rather than a runny lotion consistency. Runny lotions are very runny and don’t help your foundation much because they are very runny.

This characteristic goes for powders, liquid foundations and even creams. At this point, the brush will catch more products with rounded edges like powders or creams. Here, more product means more staying power on your skin, and suddenly cheeks appear longer, healthier and have more definition. When you layer multiple powders, it would be best to do a powder-to-powder coverage rather than a fluffy coverage

Especially for liquid foundation, a small bit of product balances out the overall texture and allows the product to glide smoothly and evenly over your skin. A small amount of product will also allow the product to be scooped out more fully. It also contributes to a creamier powder consistency, which works well for natural-looking skin.

3. How to Apply Foundation with a Makeup Complexion Brush

Foundation is the most important step for a flawless look. Achieving the perfect base is all about knowing how much to apply and how to apply it. The best way to apply foundation is with a makeup complexion brush. Start by dabbing the brush into the foundation and then tapping it onto the back of your hand to remove any excess product. Once you are happy with the amount of foundation you have, use it to spread it over your face starting with the centre of your face. Use the same amount in each stroke and press your hands into the sides to blend it in.

Once your foundation is in place, use the same makeup brush to apply lipstick all over your cheeks, chin, and just above your nose. 

4. The Pros and Cons of Using a Makeup Complexion Brush

Brushes come in all shapes and sizes. If you want to apply foundation with a brush, then you should use a complexion brush, which is a soft brush that’s made for your face. A brush like this will be less harsh on your skin than a regular face brush. It doesn’t come in a lot of different colours but it will give you just the right amount of coverage. There are a lot of different brands out there. You find them by doing a quick Google search or looking up what brands were recommended by other users online.

The best way to clean your makeup brush is to use a mix of warm and cold water. This will help take care of any debris from getting inside the brush and onto your skin. After that, it needs to be rinsed thoroughly and dried before storing it away for a fresh one.

If you want to apply that first layer of foundation, start by placing the foundation on your forehead and the sides of your nose. You are going to use the brush to dab, and get the coverage just right.

Using a foundation brush will prevent you from getting streaky and looking cakey. This is the first layer you will apply since the rest of your makeup will be done by tools such as powders and can begin to settle.

Next, get down into your nose. This is where you will be applying your concealer too. There are different types of concealers, and you will want to use what’s labelled for your skin tone and skin type.

5. A Quick Review of Your Options for Applying Foundation with a Makeup Complexion Brush

If you’re new to makeup or foundation application, or simply want to refresh your skills, here’s a quick review of some of your options for applying foundation with a makeup complexion brush. A foundation brush is a long-handled makeup brush that can be used for a variety of applications ranging from foundation and powder to bronzing and blush.

The most common use for makeup brushes is to apply foundation and blusher. You can use either a hard or soft brush depending on the type of product that you want to apply. The most commonly used makeup brushes are the good old straight ones with twist-style handles. Along with being very useful for applying foundation, the brushes are easier to clean as well since the bristles are all internal.

A large, medium-sized makeup brush comes in handy for applying foundation to the areas around the eyes and cheekbones. Some makeup brushes will also work great for lining and contouring and will cover smaller areas and areas with thicker pigmentation. The purpose of a makeup brush is not to bring the product into your eyes directly, rather the brush is “catching” the product on the eye area so that it is more difficult to apply the product there. This means that you don’t have to smudge your product all over your eyes. A sharp-toothed makeup brush like Sigma’s 24/7 Aqua Eye Brush, for example, works great to apply the product around the lids to check for any whites and colour-correcting eyeshadows.
