The angled head with more densely-packed bristles is best for chiseling out features with contouring makeup or blending out foundation, while the fluffier, domed end seamlessly buffs on blush, adds a glow to the high points of the face with highlighter, and can create a sun-kissed look with bronzer.Ī multifunctional tool is fantastic for those trying to save money and space within their routines. Highlighter, foundation, blush, bronzer, contour, setting powder - the double-sided brush can apply them all. The vegan bristles are among the softest we’ve ever tried, and though we try not to pick favorites, this dual-ended brush is unmatched. While Tarte’s makeup may get all the hype ( Shape Tape, anyone?), the brand’s brushes are total sleeper hits. What We Don’t Love: The fluffy nature of the brush heads make them better suited for creating more natural shadows rather than serious sculpts. What We Love: The double sided brush cuts down on makeup bag bulk. Overall, Tarte Double-Ended Cheek Brush proves to be the most versatile with its dual-ended design that beautifully blends creams, liquids, and powders.
Whether you’re using a cream or a powder, sculpting your nose or your cheekbones, or are looking for a total multitasker, we’ve curated the best contouring brushes on the market. While it seems fairly obvious that you wouldn’t contour your nose with the same brush you’d use to carve out a strong jawline, that doesn’t mean it’s clear which one is best for each feature. With so many options on the market (and in so many different shapes!), it can be a challenge to determine which tool is best for your needs. “In essence, you are casting shadows on your features.” By adding in that shadow with a bit of makeup, you can carve out your cheekbones, chisel your jawline, and even transform your nose.Īnd while you can certainly sculpt your face with a bit of cream makeup and your fingertips, you’ll get the best results - regardless of the contouring formula you use - by using a brush made for the job. “Sculpting is all about creating the illusion of shadow and reflection of light on the features to help them stand out,” says Nick Lujan, celebrity makeup artist and Director of Artistry & Education at Kevyn Aucoin. Though contour trends have waxed and waned over the years, the beauty technique continues to be timeless, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon.
