by “Every brush is a work of art that is designed in such a way that it corresponds to my specific personal make-up techniques and feels like a natural expansion of my hand,” says Victoria Beckham about her latest start of nine make-up brushes.
Cut through the soliloquie, and the brushes of fashion and beauty mogul are made from hand-cut synthetic fibers that imitate the quality of natural bristles, I am happy to sacrifice the coat of a nerz for our vanity. The handles are ergonomically carved from walnut wood, which were specially treated next to the appearance to avoid water damage.
The prices range from 30 GBP for the detailed lip brush up to £ 59 for the double sculpt and blend-tint brushed weders. After the sculpt & blend brush has tested the complete installation, it is the hero of the range that can handle most of the heavy lifting, from foundation and concealer via blush, highlighter, contour and powder-preliminary, they take care of it. The buffer brush is also useful to merge pigment into the skin for a soft, blurry canvas. Beckhams Buff & Smudge will find a stroke of luck for smoky eyes. These three alone will meet most of your make-up requirements.
Customer reviews show that Beckham’s Bougie brush, if you can afford it, that the splurks are worth. Nevertheless, make-up brushes have been drastically democratized since the rise of social media, whereby brands such as Morphe and Real Techniques offer a serious performance at a fraction of the price.
What brings me to the questions that I have asked most: do you really need designer brushes if you are not a professional? Are synthetic fibers as good as natural? And above all, a modest blinker – or even your fingers – will do the job? Here you will find everything you need to know with advice from the Royal Vice Bild artist Hannah Martin.
Make-up brush against fingers
Brush mixed products in a way that the fingers cannot do, says Hannah Martin, the makeup artist who is responsible for the modernization of Princess Eugenies and Beatrices make-up. She adds: “Your fingers relate to natural oils, which bothers the duration of the foundation on the skin.”
Some artists like Mary Greenwell prefer to apply the base with the palms of their hands and fingers and use the warmth of their skin to apply the basis. However, Greenwell still uses a brush to seamlessly merge into the skin.
Synthetic against natural
“There was so much technological progress in synthetic fibers,” says Martin. In fact, synthetic brushes are so advanced that there are almost no natural fiber that have not been replicated in a synthetic material.
“Synthetic fibers are particularly suitable for products on a cream -colored basis because they don’t absorb as much of the product,” she adds.
If you only buy a make-up brush, select this
Martin says that the most important brush you need is a basic brush. “Regardless of whether it is a foundation, cream bronzer and blusher or concealer, a double-tuned brush with a large and small head for stipping and mixing is ideal,” suggests Martin, who recommends the IT cosmetics heavenly luxury concealer & make-up brush Cover make-up application.
“The big end is brilliant to set bronzer, blush and foundation on the spot, and the small end is ideal for concealers,” she adds. Apart from the number, a double-tuned base brush is doubled as a mixer, the small end being a good stand-in for a simple eyeshadow look.

Is price important?
“Although I am sure that there is great pleasure to buy Premium brushes, I don’t think it is important if you can buy a brush of the same quality, if not better, at a lower price,” emphasizes Martin, the morphs and real techniques as great brands when you start your brush collection.
The best brush techniques for the skin in the middle life
The worst insulting make-up error that is to be made in the midlife is to Karken, which, despite the temptation to cover up all kinds of uncertainties, will reduce the vitality of the complexion of everyone, in particular the one that lacks the light fractional forces of plenty of collagen.
In addition, excess product will settle in folds and pores. To mitigate this, apply a pump of a product on the back of the hand, distribute it in a thin layer and fill your brush by turning it into the product before it reaches your skin. In this way, you can gradually transmit incrementally until you have reached your desired amount that is an advantage when using the foundation, but also highly pigmented cream and fluid blush.
A densely packed brush is best suited for eyeshadow for smoky eyes if you want the pigments to stay in place. A fluffy eyeshadow brush is best suited for a soft, naked eye look if you use a sound, and for mixing and softening the edges when several colors work together.
