It should be made use of in a tapping motion to avoid a streaky look.

2. The Powder/blush brush: this brush is medium in size, it is round, soft and full. It is used in applying powder/blush to the face. It is designed for dual use. Apply your powder by making use of the belly or flat side of the brush while you make use of the tip to apply the powder in the crease of the eye for a better finish. When applying the powder, ensure that you pack the brush full of the powder and then shake off the excess before applying on the face.

3. The eye shadow brush: this brush is bristle, short, flat and large for an excellent coverage. The softness of the bristle makes the application of the eye shadow smooth without dragging the eye in any way. It helps to design the shape of the eye. Start off with a little shadow before building the shadow to your desired finishing size.

4. The angle eye shadow brush: this is designed for aid in shading the socket of the eye. It is a long, tapered and round brush. It is easy to use; all you need to do is to follow the natural crease of your eye and blend the brush back and forth until you get your desired depth of color. It is good for eyeliner and brow powders. The slant angled shaped brush offers maximum control and makes it easy to use.

5. The face contour brush: this brush can be used all over the face. It is fluffy, soft and rounded. It is used for shading and highlighting or illuminating your cheeks with your powder. For more effect on the cheeks use with a gel, cream or powder for a better contour and it can also be used for wiping off excess powder from the face.
