The Concealer Brush
Use this brush for more than blending under-eye concealer. Dip it into liquid
foundation to clean up the edges of winged liner or uneven lip colour. Or use
it to apply cream shadow or lipstick (it’s more efficient than a tiny lip brush).

RIGHT AGE
The Powder Brush
For dusting powder wherever you need it, obviously, and “because you can
really blend everything with them,” says Clinique Global Color Artist Jenna
Menard, whose technique makes skin look blessed, not made-up.

The Eyeshadow Brush
Use for a) pressing powder or cream shadow into place; b) sweeping shadow
over the whole lid or intensifying the crease; and c) blending for a seamless
finish. “It’s the most versatile eyeshadow brush,” says M.A.C Senior Artist Jane
McKay. M.A.C 217 Blending Brush, $27, www.maccosmetics.com
The Small Angle Brush
“It works well with shadow to fill and shape the perfect brow. And when used
with a gel liner or eyeshadow, it’s the easiest way to execute precision eyeliner,”
says Global Olay Ambassador Bruce Grayson, who has worked with Brooke
Shields. Bobbi Brown Eye Definer Brush, $36, www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com
The Blush Brush
Domed and fluffy, usually slightly smaller than a powder brush, designed for
controlled colour application and blending on cheeks and cheekbones. Quo
