Best Makeup Brushes

As with any type of painting, the success in executing a good facial makeup lies greatly in the tools used to apply the different colors. Some women are adept at using their bare fingers to apply cosmetics, but the best makeup brushes will certainly deliver the right effects at the right corners.
The basic among the makeup brushes that should be present in every woman's makeup set is the powder brush. It is a full brush and is the largest among the set, designed to evenly apply loose makeup powder on the face. Upward and twirling strokes of this powder brush against the face help to avoid uneven caking of the powder on the skin. A foundation brush has flat but soft bristles and is used to apply cream based or liquid foundation. A soft foundation brush may be naturally made from sable fur or from a smooth, washable synthetic material.
The Kabuki brush originated from the Japanese theatres, where performers need a large, thick yet soft brush to apply heavy makeup in a quick time. The traditional Japanese plays showcase the expressive artistry of Japanese kabuki makeup. In the present times, kabuki brushes are gaining a following in parallel with the popularity of the mineral based makeup. This kind of brush has coarse bristles that can easily pick up loose, powdered minerals and that can conveniently set the mineral foundation unto the skin with a buffing action.
