Powder brush

Any makeup is impossible without special tools for its application. Makeup artists believe that it is impossible to evenly distribute powder without a quality brush. No puff can create a quality make-up. A powder brush is an indispensable cosmetic tool for every modern woman.

The brush was invented in Japan in the 18th century specifically for Kabuki theater actors in order to create high-quality makeup. Previously, such a brush applied not only powder, but also shadows. Today it is designed to apply loose powder, giving the face an even and healthy tone.

The brush has a variety of shapes and is made of different materials (natural and artificial). Each type is focused on its type of work.

Devices with pile of different origin allow you to choose a product for girls with skin prone to allergies.

Natural brushes are made from badger, squirrel, sable, goat, pony hair. They are designed for tightly pressed cosmetics, they pick up powder well, distribute it over the face in an even and weightless layer.

Artificial tools are made of nylon and polyester. They are easier to maintain, durable, less prone to mechanical breakdowns. In addition, these options are more likely to pick up powder and do not accumulate it, evenly distributing the entire amount collected without a trace.

The main purpose of cosmetic brushes for powder is shading with the thinnest layer, leveling the tone of the face. Skin with a light veil looks as natural and well-groomed as possible. There are several types of cosmetic tools for applying powder:

• Kabuki (round). Appearance is a compressed ball with a dense pile. The brush has a small handle and is intended for a set of compact and loose powder, bronzer, highlighter, blush. The peculiarity of this brush is that the powder is not distributed in the usual way: it is “trampled” into the skin with uniform movements. This allows you to even out the tone, hiding bumps and flaws.
• Fan (flat). A flat brush with a wide shape resembling a fan. Her villi are not densely spaced. This allows you to gently apply a light powdery texture and delicately remove its excess. These brushes were originally borrowed from artists, they can cover the face with a light veil in a few strokes. The purpose of these brushes is to even out makeup.
• oval. A brush with a dense bristle, outwardly it is an enlarged version of the classic powder brush. It is transportable, it can be foldable (retractable), with a reservoir. The retractable brush is very convenient, it can be carried in a cosmetic bag and, if necessary, it is easy and quick to touch up makeup.Easy to apply and doesn't clog pores.

Some brushes may initially seem uncomfortable, but later the owners will be able to appreciate such a cosmetic tool. When choosing a brush for powder and blush, you should pay attention to the following quality indicators:

• comfortable handle;
• pile tightly stuffed into the handle;
• precisely matched to the length of the villi;
• even tonsure;
• lack of smell;
• pile elasticity;
• the presence of a cover.

When buying, it is important to pay attention to the villi. They should not fall out, and when compressed, they quickly return to their original shape.
