***Well actually this is just a brief explanation of the makeup brushes and their uses but actually there're alot more of them, and they comes in different sizes. To me there's no single rule on using them as long as it gives the effects that you want. You may or may not agree with me as this is solely my own opinion. =)
Thanks for reading. XOXO~
Good review about the product. I have used this Makeup Brushes 101 and it gave similar results as that of your's. It is better to use it with concealer and face powder.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very useful information about the make up products and brushes. i never knew that there is this much of vriety in brushes for make up. But obviously shape of the brush matters alot to have best results.
