Welcome to Makeup Monday on Julie's Lifestyle. Each Monday I will post about a certain type of makeup, nail polish, face or hair product etc. It will be a fun place to come visit about anything to do with beauty.
Week 25 - Makeup Brushes and Uses
Hello friends, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Thanks for stopping by and today I'd like to talk about different makeup brushes and their uses. I have a set of makeup brushes here that are labeled and I'm going to use these as samples to explain their uses.
1. Powder Brush - This brush may be used for applying mineral powder or bronzer. The shape of the brush is large, soft, full, and rounded. The bristles pick up the perfect amount of powder when applied to the skin. Load the brush with powder and shake off any excess before sweeping onto your skin.
2. Blusher Brush - This brush has a rounded head and is used to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. To apply sweep and blend along your cheekbone drawing the brush up into your hairline.
3. Foundation Brush - This is designed to achieve a smooth and flawless finish to your face. The bristles are tightly packed with a tapered tip for fluid application. To apply dampen the brush first in warm water and then squeeze out any excess water into a tissue and then apply a small amount of foundation onto the brush and use.

4. Eyeliner Brush - Allows eyeliner to be applied deep into the lash line for a richer and more distinct eye. You may use this brush to achieve a smoky eye.
5. Brow Brush - This long handled brush has stiff-angled bristles that provide maximum control for creating and defining the eyebrows.
To buy a good set of makeup brushes you can buy them at Sephora. They have so many sets to choose from and the sales associates are always helpful. Another option is Amazon and they have a large assortment of brushes available. You can also visit a beauty supply store in your area too.
I hope this was helpful and thanks so much for stopping by this week. See you all next week for Makeup Monday.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Do you clean your makeup brushes? It's recommended to give your brushes a good cleaning once a week or at least once a month. Well I'm guilty of not cleaning mine until the other day when I was on Pinterest and I saw a great tutorial on how to keep your brushes clean.
If you keep your brushes clean it will help to keep your skin clear and clean of any dirt, germs, and bacteria that can get into the brushes and then onto your skin. It also helps your makeup brushes last longer.
Baby Shampoo and water are all you need to keep your makeup brushes clean.
Here are the steps to cleaning your makeup brushes:
Step 1: Take a dime size of baby shampoo and put in your hand.
Step 2: Wet the brush and swirl the brush around in your hand cleaning the brush.
Step 3: Rinse the brush off any dirt.
Step 4: Pat dry the brush and form on a towel.

Step 5: Let brushes dry.
In the tutorial that I used it said to place the brushes on an incline to make the brushes dry faster. As you can see that is what I did.
The brushes were dry the next morning.
I hope you liked this makeup tip I shared with you this week and thanks for stopping by.
