Make-up Brushes

Make-up brushes: The best choice for a successful make-up

The right make-up brush can make all the difference and provide an incomparable finish. With the right brushes and tools, you can apply your make-up more precisely, blend it better and extend the look of your make-up.

Brushes made of real hair or synthetic fibers

Brushes also differ in terms of material: there are brushes with real hair and those with synthetic hair. Real hair is particularly soft and flexible. It is particularly suitable for powder products such as blush, bronzer or powder foundation.

Real hair brushes are usually a bit more expensive and not vegan. They are also less suitable for liquid products as they absorb the formulas and you waste a lot of product. In addition, care is even more important with real hair brushes and you should make sure to clean them regularly.

In contrast, synthetic brushes are considered to be much more hygienic and easier to care for. They are particularly suitable for applying liquid and creamy textures. Even though they are cheaper than make-up brushes made from real hair, they usually don't feel quite as soft on the skin.

Tip: When buying brushes, pay attention to the workmanship.

Different shapes and types of make-up brushes

Depending on the application, there are different brush shapes:

• Foundation brush: flat, tightly bound, for liquid foundation.
• Powder brush: large, round, fluffy, for loose or compact powder.
• Blush brush: angled for precise application of blush.
• Eyeshadow brush: available in different sizes and shapes, for applying and blending eyeshadow.
• Concealer brush: small, tapered, for covering blemishes.
• Eyeliner brush: fine, pointed, for precise application of eyeliner.
• Lip brush: small, flat, for precise application of lipstick.

Practical choice: make-up brush sets

Make-up brush sets are ideal for beginners. These contain a selection of essential brushes for a complete make-up look.

Tip: Before purchasing, think about exactly which brushes you need. A set with lots of brushes may seem cool and practical, but it's not much use if you don't use half of the brushes included.

Tips for cleaning make-up brushes
