A buffer brush is essential for achieving an even, effortless makeup application. Its dense bristles allow for seamless blending, providing an airbrushed finish. The brush helps to evenly distribute product on the skin, ensuring a smooth and natural look.
Buffer brushes work best with liquid and cream products, such as foundations, primers, and concealers. They provide a natural, radiant finish, blending the product into the skin for a lightweight feel.
Start with a small amount: Apply a small amount of product to the back of your hand or directly to the brush.
Dot and buff: Begin by dotting the product on key areas of your face (forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose). Use the brush to buff the product in using circular motions.
Build up desired coverage: For more coverage, apply additional product as needed, continuing to blend in circular motions for a seamless finish.
Blend outwards: Always blend outward from the center of your face to avoid harsh lines.
Use light pressure: Let the brush do the work. Using too much pressure causes streakes in your makeup.
Keep it clean: Regularly clean your buffer brush to avoid product or bacteria buildup. A clean brush also ensure a smooth application.
Ideal for liquid and cream products, such as concealer, contour and highlight.

2. Apply to lid: Begin by applying the product to the eyelid using soft, sweeping motions or a pressing technique for more intensity.
3. Blend: Use circular motions to blend the edges for a seamless transition between colors.
4. Layer for depth: Build up color gradually, adding more product as needed for desired intensity.
Ideal for both compact and loose powders.
A powder brush is key for achieving a smooth, even finish with powder makeup. The bigger format and soft, fluffy bristles pick up the right amount of product for a light, natural application, ensuring even distribution without streaking.
A Powder Brush is versatile and works for many powder products such as setting powders, loose powders, powder blushes and powder bronzers.
Setting Powder: Dip the brush lightly into the powder, tap off excess, and apply in light, sweeping motions across your face, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) to reduce shine and set makeup.
Blush: Swirl the brush into your blush, tap off excess, and apply to the apples of your cheeks, blending upward toward your temples.
Bronzer: Use a powder brush to apply bronzer along the hairline, cheekbones, and jawline for a natural, contoured look.
Keeping your powder brush clean helps ensure smoother application and prevents bacteria buildup that could lead to breakouts.
