Types of makeup brushes
Brushes by hair type
There are brushes of different economic values and one of the factors that influence its price is the type of hair that is used and is made.
There are two types of hair when it comes to assembling the makeup brush on one hand the natural hair and on the other the synthetic hair.
The same happens for paint brushes and the cost is very low to very high, obtaining a totally different final result when it comes to applying makeup.
There are different types of makeup, so both are important to keep in mind, since you have an idea of all kinds of makeup fluids brushes are used that have synthetic hairs This is mainly because they can be maneuvered much better and easier, but they also have greater resistance and that favors their durability.
Instead the brushes that have natural hairs they are much better used for all kinds of makeup products you have powder in its composition.
Brushes for haircut
Makeup brushes have different types of haircut as their functionality is used to apply in different types of practices and techniques that require a particular style of makeup.
🖌 Pointed brushes
When you have to apply makeup with a high level of precision then it is the most advisable brush since it uses less product, just and necessary. Mainly its use is when applying contours and correctors.
If instead you use eye brushes it may be for you to define the external «V» or if you have to apply dark tones under the banana.
🖌 Round Cut Brushes
It is another of the brushes that gives you a fairly high precision if you have to apply a small amount of makeup as it also implements less quantity than brushes that are flat cut.
If you had to apply blush this brush is the ideal since you can make up the apples of your cheeks, but in general it is applied to all kinds of powder that goes on the face, which has a multi-function.
🖌 Flat Cut Brushes
The good thing that this type of brushes has that serve both to apply bases and to powders on the face which has a great advantage because it is used for makeups that are compact as well as fluid which covers your appearance over any type of makeup you want use.
The finish you can achieve is natural since being able to apply to the entire face allows it to be smooth and uniform.
By applying the product on the brush, it captures and traps enough of the product, which yields much more in a single pass and releases it on the skin in a uniform and equitable way.
It can also be blurred with this type of flat-cut brush due to its characteristics.
🖌 Bevel cut brushes
Inside your face there is always some peculiar way where you need to make up parts where they are sometimes difficult to access so there is this type of brush that has a beveled cut and that is generally used for part of the face that are not flat for which facilitates its use and apply such as the banana part of the eye, the cheekbones or if you want to apply the makeup product in a blurred way.
If you want to apply powders that are translucent you can use brushes that have a shape similar to a fan but are for very specific cases, such as the mascara that is used very often.
Brushes for hair length
There are two types of brushes at the level of length or length of hair and influence when it comes to applying makeup.
On the one hand you have the
🖌 Short Hair Brushes
Brushes that have short hair have the advantage of being able to catch a greater amount of makeup of the product you are using and their hair capacity is denser.
As the brushes with the highest density have a flat ferrule, what this causes is having a more compact brush and having more precision in the appliqué as well as greater pressure on the bristles of the brush.
🖌 Long Hair Brushes
Long hair brushes, unlike the previous ones, can take less product but it has the advantage that it blends much better on the skin, which is ideal.
This type of brushes has a round ferrule which allows you to have a greater blur and better movement when applying it.
Brushes by size
The sizes in the brushes are important because they mark you by their size for which area of the face it is applied.
It is not only the length of the hair that has to be taken into account but the size for which they were designed.
So we have three types of sizes to differentiate by manufacturers.
🖌 Large Brushes
Large brushes use makeup powder and foundation that are applied to all areas of the face for a broad look.
🖌 Medium Brushes
They are used when applying concealer or contour as well as blush, in the areas that are used are the widest parts of the face.
🖌 Small Brushes
These types are used for being tiny in areas that need more precision such as the eye area, the part of the mouth and the contour of the nose.
Brush Kit You Need
Now is the time to look for your brush kit to be able to face a makeup technique that you like to reproduce but for that you need to have your tools for that you are going to have to buy a blanket of brushes that allows you to have the variety as They can also be those professional makeup belts if you want something more complete.
As you improve your implementation, you will be buying higher quality elements and those that you will really use.
Personally I consider it important to have brushes that are multipurpose for all types of applications, those for the face, eyes and lips.
With this you cover almost all of it and you can start applying makeup as you like.
It is always good to have a friend to practice that is suitable for your activities since the more you practice and the combinations you can do each makeup faster, perfecting tricks and secrets that you will discover over time.
Multipurpose brushes
Two brushes that you cannot miss in my opinion are the calls kabuki brushes as also skunk brushes since they have the characteristic that you can apply all kinds of makeup to your face.
With these brushes you can apply both
- illuminators
- blushers
- contours
- powder
What does not matter so much in this case that you use it for different types of uses, the type of shape since it can be from flat to rounded or pointed or beveled.
Then others that you cannot miss are the flat face brushes or face since it serves to apply makeup bases that are very important to start giving the shape you want as you can also apply BB Cream, cream or fluid contours, highlighters and concealers.
Now what is needed is something for the eyes which I always recommend having a bushy brush This will help you so that you can from blur, apply color, add lighting under the eye or under the arch of the eyebrow, cheeks or around the nose.
Face brushes (face)
Make up all over your face is essential to achieve the desired effect so I am going to name all the brushes that in my opinion you can never miss and I will also give you a recommendation of some top quality brand for you to take into account.
Bu Kabuki brush
Without a doubt the kabuki brush It is the one that is most used when applying all the powders on the face due to its excellent finish.
Their traditional shape is a small size and they are the ones that most women carry in their handbag.
But currently manufacturers began to make different sizes and designs to evolve.
It mainly applies blushers, shiny powders, loose powders, mineral makeup, bronzing powders.
Givenchy have Le Pinceau Kabuki
🖌 Skunk Brush
If your idea is that the makeup is not noticeable then this is your ideal brush because the finish on the applique allows it not to be noticed.
It is used to apply makeup and apply the base, leaving a very natural but also soft appearance on the skin.
If you have a fluid base you must apply with this type of element as well as for colored creams both in the neck area and the face.
Powder and fluid bases can be used for the face and you will find in versions of natural hair as well as synthetic hair.
If you use the brush that is flat you will be able to cover more surface but the finish will be less natural.
The brand Sensei have the brush Bronzing Gel Brush
🖌 Concealer brush
You can apply the concealer directly from the container as some products recommend, but the most advisable thing for makeup professionals is to do it from a brush that takes the product you need.
They are generally of a flat tip and compact in size, as precision is needed when applying it for areas that are very fundamental and determined.
Concealers that are creams and fluids are applied.
Ecotools has the Flat Eyeliner Brush
🖌 Blush Brush
Generally, the head of the blush brush is round or can be sometimes beveled mainly to adapt to the touch of makeup that is given to the cheekbones when a woman puts on makeup.
When it is applied it has to go in line of the direction of the hair of the girl who is making up.
The size is between medium and large, the hair is soft with fine fibers and long, mainly so that it can diffuse the powder used well.
👀 Eye brushes
The brushes that are used for the eyes have to be quite precise for an obvious issue that is a sensitive area and that you can have the best handling of your tool to achieve the expected result.
🖌 Shadow Brush
It must be with a rounded haircut, small in size as well as the hair must be short to give the dense effect of their hair when applying.
It has a great coverage thanks to its bristles that are soft and if you use it with the beveled edge it can be applied to the eyelid without dragging and damaging the final makeup.
If you are going to apply color it is ideal.
🖌 Eye shadow brush
If you need to apply the shadows quickly, I advise you to use this type of brush that will give you enough precision when applying it, since it is round, flat and wide.
To apply it you have to use the tip and you can blend it by resting the brush lying on the eyelid that you want to make up.
🖌 Mixing Brush
When you want to apply a color to your eyes to give depth in the look, these are ideal because they use soft and long hair which if you are going to smoke is the most advisable and instead if it is to blur transitions is another of the suggested options.
🖌 Bevel Brush
With a bevelled brush what you get is to apply shadow to the eye as well as highlighter makeup that you need to apply.
🖌 Angle brush for eyeshadow
If you have to apply shadow right in the eye cavity then it is ideal because it is a long, conical brush but especially round its tip.

I hope this tutorial is like a quick reading manual so you can learn and know what type of brush to apply to your face.
Types of makeup brushes
Brushes by hair type
There are brushes of different economic values and one of the factors that influence its price is the type of hair that is used and is made.
There are two types of hair when it comes to assembling the makeup brush on one hand the natural hair and on the other the synthetic hair.
The same happens for paint brushes and the cost is very low to very high, obtaining a totally different final result when it comes to applying makeup.
There are different types of makeup, so both are important to keep in mind, since you have an idea of all kinds of makeup fluids brushes are used that have synthetic hairs This is mainly because they can be maneuvered much better and easier, but they also have greater resistance and that favors their durability.
Instead the brushes that have natural hairs they are much better used for all kinds of makeup products you have powder in its composition.
Brushes for haircut
Makeup brushes have different types of haircut as their functionality is used to apply in different types of practices and techniques that require a particular style of makeup.
🖌 Pointed brushes
When you have to apply makeup with a high level of precision then it is the most advisable brush since it uses less product, just and necessary. Mainly its use is when applying contours and correctors.
If instead you use eye brushes it may be for you to define the external «V» or if you have to apply dark tones under the banana.
🖌 Round Cut Brushes
It is another of the brushes that gives you a fairly high precision if you have to apply a small amount of makeup as it also implements less quantity than brushes that are flat cut.
If you had to apply blush this brush is the ideal since you can make up the apples of your cheeks, but in general it is applied to all kinds of powder that goes on the face, which has a multi-function.
🖌 Flat Cut Brushes
The good thing that this type of brushes has that serve both to apply bases and to powders on the face which has a great advantage because it is used for makeups that are compact as well as fluid which covers your appearance over any type of makeup you want use.
The finish you can achieve is natural since being able to apply to the entire face allows it to be smooth and uniform.
By applying the product on the brush, it captures and traps enough of the product, which yields much more in a single pass and releases it on the skin in a uniform and equitable way.
It can also be blurred with this type of flat-cut brush due to its characteristics.
🖌 Bevel cut brushes
Inside your face there is always some peculiar way where you need to make up parts where they are sometimes difficult to access so there is this type of brush that has a beveled cut and that is generally used for part of the face that are not flat for which facilitates its use and apply such as the banana part of the eye, the cheekbones or if you want to apply the makeup product in a blurred way.
If you want to apply powders that are translucent you can use brushes that have a shape similar to a fan but are for very specific cases, such as the mascara that is used very often.
Brushes for hair length
There are two types of brushes at the level of length or length of hair and influence when it comes to applying makeup.
On the one hand you have the
🖌 Short Hair Brushes
Brushes that have short hair have the advantage of being able to catch a greater amount of makeup of the product you are using and their hair capacity is denser.
As the brushes with the highest density have a flat ferrule, what this causes is having a more compact brush and having more precision in the appliqué as well as greater pressure on the bristles of the brush.
🖌 Long Hair Brushes
Long hair brushes, unlike the previous ones, can take less product but it has the advantage that it blends much better on the skin, which is ideal.
This type of brushes has a round ferrule which allows you to have a greater blur and better movement when applying it.
Brushes by size
The sizes in the brushes are important because they mark you by their size for which area of the face it is applied.
It is not only the length of the hair that has to be taken into account but the size for which they were designed.
So we have three types of sizes to differentiate by manufacturers.
🖌 Large Brushes
Large brushes use makeup powder and foundation that are applied to all areas of the face for a broad look.
🖌 Medium Brushes
They are used when applying concealer or contour as well as blush, in the areas that are used are the widest parts of the face.
🖌 Small Brushes
These types are used for being tiny in areas that need more precision such as the eye area, the part of the mouth and the contour of the nose.
Brush Kit You Need
Now is the time to look for your brush kit to be able to face a makeup technique that you like to reproduce but for that you need to have your tools for that you are going to have to buy a blanket of brushes that allows you to have the variety as They can also be those professional makeup belts if you want something more complete.
As you improve your implementation, you will be buying higher quality elements and those that you will really use.
Personally I consider it important to have brushes that are multipurpose for all types of applications, those for the face, eyes and lips.
With this you cover almost all of it and you can start applying makeup as you like.
It is always good to have a friend to practice that is suitable for your activities since the more you practice and the combinations you can do each makeup faster, perfecting tricks and secrets that you will discover over time.
Multipurpose brushes
Two brushes that you cannot miss in my opinion are the calls kabuki brushes as also skunk brushes since they have the characteristic that you can apply all kinds of makeup to your face.
With these brushes you can apply both
- illuminators
- blushers
- contours
- powder
What does not matter so much in this case that you use it for different types of uses, the type of shape since it can be from flat to rounded or pointed or beveled.
Then others that you cannot miss are the flat face brushes or face since it serves to apply makeup bases that are very important to start giving the shape you want as you can also apply BB Cream, cream or fluid contours, highlighters and concealers.
Now what is needed is something for the eyes which I always recommend having a bushy brush This will help you so that you can from blur, apply color, add lighting under the eye or under the arch of the eyebrow, cheeks or around the nose.
Face brushes (face)
Make up all over your face is essential to achieve the desired effect so I am going to name all the brushes that in my opinion you can never miss and I will also give you a recommendation of some top quality brand for you to take into account.
Bu Kabuki brush
Without a doubt the kabuki brush It is the one that is most used when applying all the powders on the face due to its excellent finish.
Their traditional shape is a small size and they are the ones that most women carry in their handbag.
But currently manufacturers began to make different sizes and designs to evolve.
It mainly applies blushers, shiny powders, loose powders, mineral makeup, bronzing powders.
Givenchy have Le Pinceau Kabuki
🖌 Skunk Brush
If your idea is that the makeup is not noticeable then this is your ideal brush because the finish on the applique allows it not to be noticed.
It is used to apply makeup and apply the base, leaving a very natural but also soft appearance on the skin.
If you have a fluid base you must apply with this type of element as well as for colored creams both in the neck area and the face.
Powder and fluid bases can be used for the face and you will find in versions of natural hair as well as synthetic hair.
If you use the brush that is flat you will be able to cover more surface but the finish will be less natural.
The brand Sensei have the brush Bronzing Gel Brush
🖌 Concealer brush
You can apply the concealer directly from the container as some products recommend, but the most advisable thing for makeup professionals is to do it from a brush that takes the product you need.
They are generally of a flat tip and compact in size, as precision is needed when applying it for areas that are very fundamental and determined.
Concealers that are creams and fluids are applied.
Ecotools has the Flat Eyeliner Brush
🖌 Blush Brush
Generally, the head of the blush brush is round or can be sometimes beveled mainly to adapt to the touch of makeup that is given to the cheekbones when a woman puts on makeup.
When it is applied it has to go in line of the direction of the hair of the girl who is making up.
The size is between medium and large, the hair is soft with fine fibers and long, mainly so that it can diffuse the powder used well.
👀 Eye brushes
The brushes that are used for the eyes have to be quite precise for an obvious issue that is a sensitive area and that you can have the best handling of your tool to achieve the expected result.
🖌 Shadow Brush
It must be with a rounded haircut, small in size as well as the hair must be short to give the dense effect of their hair when applying.
It has a great coverage thanks to its bristles that are soft and if you use it with the beveled edge it can be applied to the eyelid without dragging and damaging the final makeup.
If you are going to apply color it is ideal.
🖌 Eye shadow brush
If you need to apply the shadows quickly, I advise you to use this type of brush that will give you enough precision when applying it, since it is round, flat and wide.
To apply it you have to use the tip and you can blend it by resting the brush lying on the eyelid that you want to make up.
🖌 Mixing Brush
When you want to apply a color to your eyes to give depth in the look, these are ideal because they use soft and long hair which if you are going to smoke is the most advisable and instead if it is to blur transitions is another of the suggested options.
🖌 Bevel Brush
With a bevelled brush what you get is to apply shadow to the eye as well as highlighter makeup that you need to apply.
🖌 Angle brush for eyeshadow
If you have to apply shadow right in the eye cavity then it is ideal because it is a long, conical brush but especially round its tip.
When applying you have to follow the entire crease of the eye cavity moving back and forth that will give the effect of depth on the eye that is making up.

By having a tip that is ultra fine you can apply incredible precision to delineate your eyes with either gel or liquid.
Something that is always advised that when drawing you practice with your pulse and that it is done with a single line as perfect as possible and that it is done with a single movement.
If you want to make an effect that goes unnoticed or is subtle with just the tip, apply points between the tabs.
Plana Flat brush to outline the eye
If you want to deeply delineate the area of the eyelash line in one eye, you certainly have to apply this type of element and you will get a totally different and original result.
The way to apply should be upwards to soften the makeup and blend to achieve a smoky eye result.

There are different types of designs regarding the eyeliner but if you want to have total control over the precision of the liner, this little brush will help you make a perfect line.
You can see that the tip is too fine and it is so compact that the precision when using it is wonderful for experts as for those who are not so much.
💄 Lip brushes
Generally, the brushes that are for the lips are not used as much, but if you want a professional finish, you will use and need them.
Lip makeup is important if you want to look pretty, which is why it is another makeup tool that you are going to need on your makeup list.
