Foundation brushes are generally made of artificial fiber hair. Because foundation is mostly water and oil, makeup brushes are required to be resistant to water and oil, and able to withstand cleaning, and artificial hair ones will withstand more use.

It can be roughly divided into four types: flat head, flat head, round head, and oblique head. Of course, there are also subdivided oblique flat heads, oblique round heads, irregular brush heads, etc.

Flat head: suitable for thin foundation, such as liquid foundation and gouache cream. When using liquid foundation, place the foundation on the back of your hand, then use a foundation brush to apply a small amount and spread it on your face. Apply on the face from inside to outside. Hold the brush upright when applying to delicate areas such as the wings of the nose.

Round head: suitable for foundation with thicker texture, such as cream foundation, paste foundation, and BB foundation.

Dip a brush into the foundation and apply it on the skin in small circles, gradually moving outwards, taking care to avoid the T-zone. Once you're done, avoid your cheeks and apply foundation only to the center of your face, such as your forehead and wings of your nose. Be careful not to apply in circles to these areas, so you can achieve a natural look.

Flat head: suitable for foundation with thicker texture, such as cream foundation and BB foundation.

Dip a small amount of foundation onto the brush and apply in circular motions starting from the center of the face and moving outwards. If there is an area that particularly needs to be covered, you can choose it as the first point to apply the brush. Then, start from the center of the face and move horizontally outwards until the foundation is evenly applied.

What should you do if there are still slight brush marks even though you are using the correct technique? After applying foundation, you can rub your hands together to warm them up, then lightly press your face. You can also use a beauty egg or sponge to press on your face to help the foundation blend into the skin faster, which can effectively solve the brush marks. If none of the above can solve the problem, it may be a problem with the brush itself, or it may not match the foundation. In this case, you can only change the foundation or the brush.
