How to use a makeup brush
As for the real steps of using a cosmetic brush, every case has a "saying". Here, just a few tips are needed. First of all, for honey powder and blush brush, the bigger the brush, the more natural the effect, and the closer the technique, the more natural the circle effect. For example, a series of inclined blushes will produce a melon face. The more circles you draw on risorius, the cuter it will be. Secondly, don't touch too much eyebrow powder or cream on the eyebrow brush. It's hard to do it overnight. When extending to all brushes, touch less each time, shake off floating powder and pay attention to control. It's better to add up every time than to overdo it once.
