These latex, rubbery-looking triangles
are perfect for applying foundation. They can be used for either
liquid or cream base (foundation). They should be firm and not
too flimsy. Most come pre-cut on an angle. I cut mine (again)
on all sides so that there are no harsh edges when applying
the make-up to the skin. |

Powder puffs are used to apply loose powder.
You wrap the puff around your index finger of the hand that
you write with. Sprinkle the loose powder in the palm of the
opposite hand. In a circular motion, pick up the powder with
the puff. Then, gently press and roll as you apply the powder
to your face. This method is so great to use when you feel your
make-up is too strong. You can just roll the puff over the area
that looks too strong. It diffuses the make-up, leaving a softer
look. |
This brush is shaped on an angle to help
you apply your contour powder in the perfect place right under
your cheekbone. This helps the blush stand out in a subtle,
but effective way. |
 |
This brush should be soft, yet firm so
that it places the color on your cheeks gently. If you feel
your blush looks too strong, remember you can always go over
it with your powder puff that has a little loose powder on it.
It will soften it up right away! |

I like to use a flat-tipped square brush
to apply eye shadow. I use this type for the overall color.
When I apply my brow bone color, I love the Trish McEvoy brush
that has a bit of a slant to it. This really helps deposit the
color in the right spot! |

This is my favorite brush of all time,
and I don't know what I would do if I lost it! It is a thin,
flat tipped brush, as wide as a lip brush. A finger or a Q-TipÆ
can also be used to blend pencil, but using a brush is the babe
way to go. It achieves beautiful results. You can also use the
brush for applying shadow on top of the blended pencil. |
 |
This brush is angled perfectly to deposit
shading to bare spots in eyebrows. This, in conjunction with
eyebrow pencils, works wonders for sparse brows. |
 |
There is nothing wrong with applying lipstick
from the tube, but using a lipbrush sure makes it a more polished
application. It seems easier to reach those hard to get corners.
There's also something to be said for the way a girl looks when
she's using one...like a babe! |
