11 Makeup Brushes and Tools Finally Explained ...

Ah, the traditional foundation brush. This is one of the makeup brushes and tools explained that really opened up my eyes! It's got a long handle, a small flat and round head and it allows you to really brush every corner and cranny of your face. It also allows you to put on your makeup with ease and without any streaks at all!

After you have applied your foundation, the next brush that you're going to want to grab is your concealer brush. This brush will help you cover up all of the imperfections that are on your skin! It's a spot-applier brush and truthfully, it's amazing! This is a must-have for anyone looking for a makeup brush kit!

What makeup brush kit doesn't come with an amazing powder brush? Do you actually use a powder brush for your powder? I didn't until I read about what they do! They will make your powder look natural, not cakey at all! Just swipe the brush into the powder, tap and start putting it around your face in a circular motion!

Now, what's the difference between a powder brush and an angled powder brush? Well, this is the ideal brush for bronzer and highlighting. It allows you to create dimension to your face and allows you to create lines and definition. It's a great brush to have in any kit!

Oh, the blush brush! This is one of my favorite brushes, because blush can really create a look that is amazing! It's a long-handled brush that has a round head. The brush is not densely packed at all and you should be applying the color to the apples of your cheeks – in a circular motion.

I actually always wondered exactly what this brush was used for and it can be used for anything from blush to bronzer all the way to eye shadow! It leaves behind a beautiful yet light look. So if you don't want something that isn't heavy at all, give this brush a try!

I always thought that lip brushes were overrated, but after using one, I think they are a must! This brush is long and thin, it's firm yet bendable, so that you can have a smooth and even application. This brush is ideal for lipstick, gloss and really any lip color that needs a precise application.

I always thought that all eye shadow brushes were exactly the same. I had no idea that you needed an eye shadow brush that has a flat head and that has densely packed bristles. This allows you to have control over how much shadow you put on and how deep the color is!

But when you get to the crease, there's another brush for that! This is a similar sized brush to the eye shadow brush, but it's ideal for the smokey eye look! Just dip the brush into any color you want and go to town.

Are you a huge fan of the smudged look but you can never, ever get it right? This brush will allow you to do it! It's got close-knit bristles and can really give you an intense and beautiful look! Honestly, it's the ideal brush for blending colors.

Finally girls, the last makeup brush that we're going to explore is an eyeliner brush. This brush is a must if you have gel, powder or liquid liner! It's a flat brush that is very close-knit with the bristles. It's ideal for making that perfect line!

So girls, there are all of my different makeup brushes, finally explained so that you'll grab the right brush out of your kit to do the right job! What other makeup brushes are out there? Give it up!
