Pay Attention to Application




How you apply your makeup is just as important as the makeup itself. A high-quality brush of the right size and shape gives you a natural look that lasts, says Maria Verel, a makeup artist in New York City.

Here are a few pointers for picking the right brush for each of your makeup applications:
  • Choose a large, fluffy brush for loose face powder; a small soft brush with a tapered, rounded edge for eye shadow; a soft brush with a full, rounded shape for blush; and a small stiff brush for eyeliner.

  • Natural-hair brushes are the best choice for use with powder makeup, such as blush, face powder, and eye shadow.

  • Some makeup artists prefer synthetic brushes for detail work and for applying fluid makeup, such as foundation, because synthetic bristles are nonporous and won't soak up liquid makeup.
