Real Flawless Foundation Brush

PRODUCT PICK UP AND LAY DOWN

For best results with powder products:  

• Press or swirl bristles in pressed powder to or dip into loose powder to pick up the product.
• Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the powder into the bristles. This will ensure powder is loaded evenly and will minimize fallout.
• Gently tap brush once on back of hand once or twice to shake off any excess product.
• For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.
• For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and swirl to blend.  

For best results for crème or liquid products:

• Dispense a small amount of product on the back of the hand and pick up some product with the brush.
• Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the crème into the bristles. This will ensure product is loaded evenly.
• Gently tap brush once on back of hand to minimize any excess product.
• For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.
• For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and stipple to blend with larger brushes, swirl to blend with small brushes.

HAND POSITION AND GRIP: For Precise and Detailed Application

• Hold brush at the center of the handle or closer to the ferrule between thumb and middle finger.
• For added control, use pointer finger with a light touch on handle – this will act as a "guide" during application. It should feel like you're balancing the brush.

 HAND POSITION AND GRIP: To Blend and Diffuse

• Hold brush with a loose grip closer to the end of handle with your thumb, pointer and middle fingers
• Use your wrists, rather than fingers to guide – this will provide the most "painterly" result.

PRO-TIPS

• For powder products use a lighter grip. Allow the brush to feel the undulations of the skin itself.
• For crème or liquid products grip normally and guide the brush where you want it to go.
• Aim to apply product very sheerly first and then build as needed.

BRUSH CARE

• Cleanse as needed with mild shampoo and warm water.
• To protect your brush fibers, cleanse in the direction of the hair by using a sweeping motion; never “swirl” or harshly rub brushes on any surface.
• Rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze water through the hair, going from base to tip.
• Repeat if necessary.
• Reshape brush fibers to original form.
• Allow to air dry on a flat surface. Do not stand brushes on end to dry.
• When traveling, carry brushes separately from other makeup to protect the brush fibers from bending and fraying.
