#INSPO 9 - Spring 2017

BUFFING BRUSHES
These brushes have thousands of tightly
packed bristles that push liquid products in
creating a flawless and even coverage. Gently
swirl the brush over your face until it looks
as if the foundation has melted in instead of
sitting on top of your skin.

STIPPLING BRUSHES
SPONGES
For an airbrushed look, apply your foundation
with a damp sponge, which gives
sheer and dewy coverage. Tap it onto the
skin and blend it in using patting motions.
If you want fuller coverage, apply makeup
with a dry sponge, however, if you use
a liquid foundation, it will absorb a lot of
the product.
TRY
Cosmetic Sponge (Pink, NPW)
Stippling brushes pick up less
product for a lightweight
application. The flat top
provides light but buildable
coverage. Pat the brush onto
your skin and then buff in
small circles to blend in the
foundation.

FLAT ANGLED BRUSHES
Flat brushes give great coverage with liquid products, because
the foundation sits on the skin. The angled cut makes it easy
to reach areas around the nose and eyes.
