FACE BRUSHES
FOUNDATION BRUSH
The new Foundation Brush is perfect for buffing foundation into the skin, leaving your base looking effortlessly blended. For the ultimate radiant base, use with Illamasqua’s Skin Base or Beyond Foundation.
ROUND CONCEALER BRUSH
The Round Concealer Brush is small, fluffy and designed to blend product under the eyes, around the nose and any areas where skin may need to be concealed.
FLAT CONCEALER BRUSH
The Flat Concealer Brush is a small, flat brush used for precise application to conceal blemishes or imperfections. The rounded tip also allows you to press product into the skin for full coverage.
CONTOUR BRUSH
The Contour Brush allows you to create a natural-looking shadow along the cheekbones, jawbone and neckline. The ultra-soft bristles blend product seamlessly so there are no harsh lines.
POWDER BRUSH
Once the base is finalised, to set your makeup, use the tapered Powder Brush. The ultra-soft bristles allow you to mattify the skin with ease. The tapered shape can be used for precision under the eyes and around the nose.
BRONZER BRUSH
The Bronzer Brush is a large, fluffy brush which allows you to add a wash of smouldering bronze all over for a radiant, sun kissed glow.
BLUSHER BRUSH
The Blusher Brush is a medium-sized fluffy brush for adding a healthy dose of colour to the apples of the cheeks. The ultra-soft bristles blend the product swiftly over foundation.
HIGHLIGHTER BRUSH
Finish off your look with a pop of highlighter using the Highlighter Fan Brush. The featherweight bristles are designed to apply product seamlessly and create either a subtle glow or a strobing highlight.
Pablo’s tip for a radiant base
“Pick up a small amount of foundation with the tip of the bristles of the Foundation Brush and blend into the skin with a circular motion. Build-up in layers where needed with the Round Concealer Brush for extra coverage. Then, to contour the face in a natural way, open your mouth and drop your chin, apply Gel Sculpt in the hollow area under the cheekbones and blend with the angled Contouring Brush.”
EYE BRUSHES
LARGE EYESHADOW BRUSH
The Large Eyeshadow Brush is a flat bristled makeup brush that will help you apply a strong block of colour. The tightly packed bristles pick up maximum product to pack in the highest pigmentation and payoff.
SMALL EYESHADOW BRUSH
For precise shadow application, use the Small Eyeshadow Brush to apply to the inner-corner and under the eye.
SMUDGE BRUSH
Blend like a pro or create a smoky-eye by using the small round Smudge Brush to gently smudge out colour and soften any liner. The ultra-soft bristles blend out powder seamlessly with minimal fall out.
BLENDER BRUSHES
The Blender Brush is a multi-purpose product with a round tip that’s perfect for blending out product on both the eyes and face, and can be used with both powders and creams. Use the Small Blender Brush for any finer details.
LINER BRUSH
The Liner Brush is an essential part of every makeup kit for creating both defined lines on the lids or waterline. The tightly packed bristles give you ultimate precision allowing controlled application with the upmost ease.
BROW GROOMER BRUSH
The firm bristles of the Brow Groomer Brush can be used to groom brows in the natural direction the hair grows. Use at the beginning and the end of your makeup application to tidy brows and evenly distribute product throughout the brows.
BROW SHAPER BRUSH
The curved shape of the Brow Shaper Brush makes it an ideal tool to mimic real brow hairs and softly fill in sparse areas.
BROW DEFINER BRUSH
The tightly packed bristles of the angled Brow Definer Brush help create precise brush strokes that look like real brow hairs.
Pablo’s pro tip for the ultimate eyebrows
"Once groomed, use the Brow Shaper to add some colour to your brows, going back and forth with this brush. Play with the shape of your natural brows to make them straighter or even more arched. To create high definition, add extra hairs one by one. Dip the Brow Definer Brush into Illamasqua’s Brow Gel or Brow Cake and create small strokes in the direction that the eyebrows naturally grow."
LIP BRUSH
Introducing the flat-angled Lip Brush. The precise angle helps to define the cupids bow for a fuller pout.
Pablo’s pro tip for a perfect pout
"Apply lipstick or lip gloss starting on the cupid's bow first, using the rounded part of the brush; then fill in the sides and bottom centre with the straight side of the brush. Just follow the natural shape of the lips.”BRUSH KITS
