Posted by Lamora Beauty on
Flat Kabuki Brush
The flat-top kabuki foundation brush should be used to apply a liquid or cream foundation. The densely packed bristles pick up foundation easily and distribute it evenly onto your skin so you get a smooth finish.
To use, apply foundation in small, circular buffing motions. Always start at the center of your face and blend your foundation outward in smooth, even strokes to prevent harsh makeup lines around the edges of your jawline and hairline.
Flat Angled Kabuki Brush
The flat-top angled kabuki foundation brush should be used to apply a liquid or cream foundation, blush, or bronzer. The angled brush head hugs the planes and curves of your face for even application every time.
To use, apply product in small, circular buffing motions, angling the brush with the contours of your face. For full coverage foundation, lightly press the brush onto the face. For medium or light coverage of blush and bronzer, apply by using half circles or lightly sweeping the brush across the face.
Round Kabuki Brush
The round kabuki brush is perfect for applying powder makeup (like foundation, blush, bronzer, or finishing powder) on large surfaces of the face. The incredibly soft bristles blend makeup evenly on the skin to create natural looking coverage.
To use, dip the brush in the powder, swirl, and tap the handle on the edge of your makeup container or sink to remove the excess before applying. Sweep the brush over your face in a circular motion, working from the inside of your face out. For a lighter coverage, use half circles or long sweeps.
Angled Kabuki Brush
The angled kabuki brush is perfect for contouring with loose powdered bronzer, or for adding color with a powdered blush. The bristles are dense but soft, and angled perfectly to hug your cheekbones and jawline to create flawless definition.
To use, dip the brush in the powder, swirl, and tap the handle on the edge of your makeup container or sink to remove the excess before applying. Working from the inside of your face outwards, use long sweeping motions along the contours of your face.
Tapered Foundation Brush
The tapered foundation brush is perfect for a more precise application of liquid or cream foundation. It features a round, tapered brush head with very soft & dense fibers. It will help you apply and blend products to conceal under the eye, around the forehead, and under the cheekbones.
To use, start by dipping your brush in warm water then gently squeezing out the excess. Apply a small amount of liquid or cream foundation to a surface. Gently run the brush through the product, then guide the brush along your face in even strokes.
Precision Flat Brush
The precision flat brush features a small, dense, flat brush head to press concealer over sunspots, scars, and blemishes and is best used with liquid or cream concealer.
To use, dab the tip of the brush into a tiny amount of concealer, then gently tap or pat the brush over the small, specific areas that you want concealed. After the area has been covered, blend out the edges while being careful not to wipe away the rest of the concealer.

Precision Round Brush
The precision round brush features soft, dense, rounded bristles. This brush is used for applying powder, liquid, or cream highlighter to small areas like the brow bone and the bridge of the nose. It can also be used as a blending brush for spot concealing.
For highlighting, place a very small amount of highlighter on the head of the brush, then guide the brush along the highlighting area in soft, even strokes. Then use this brush or a makeup sponge to blend out the edges.
Precision Angled Brush
The precision round brush features soft, dense, rounded bristles and an angled brush head. This brush is used for contouring the small, slanted areas of your face by applying a darker shade of foundation or bronzer. It can also be used as a blending brush for spot concealing in hard to reach or angled areas.
For contouring, place a very small amount of product on the head of the brush, then guide the brush along the contour area area in soft, even strokes, angled towards your contour line. Then use this brush or a makeup sponge to blend out the edges.
Precision Tapered Foundation Brush
The precision tapered foundation brush is perfect for extremely precise application of liquid or cream foundation, especially in hard to reach places. It features a small but dense tapered brush head to help you apply products around the eye, eyebrows, nose, and mouth.
To use, start by dipping your brush in warm water then gently squeezing out the excess. Dip your brush into a small amount of product, then gently guide the brush along your face in even strokes. Once most of the product is off of the brush, use it to blend any visible lines for an even finish.
