Know Your Brush Series 2 - Powder and Blush Brushes

Hi my lovelies, the next video in the series I am doing with Podozi is about powder and blush brushes. These are also fundamental to your facial makeup application and purchasing a few good quality ones will serve you well.

Powder brushes are used to apply powder foundation or face powder, be it loose or pressed and are usually rounded and fluffy to give a smooth finish. They can be made from natural hairs or vegan hairs. Caveat! Do not use a powder brush to apply blush, the brush head is too large for blush application.

Blush brushes are used to apply blush to the apple of the cheeks or high on the cheeks to give a youthful look. Some blush brushes come in an angled shape. They also come in natural and vegan options.

You can purchase your brushes for great prices on www.podozi.com. I leave you with the short video below which explains about the brushes. Do remember to subscribe to the Podozi YouTube channel so that you keep abreast of the series as well as other educative videos which will be uploaded from time to time.


Till next time, stay blessed and beautiful!

Love,

ShukShuk

Know Your Brush Series 1 - Foundation Brushes

Hello lovelies!

I've had some great news up my sleeves for so long and now I'm so glad to let you all know that I am now working with Podozi (check them out at www.podozi.com), a one-stop shop when it comes to all things makeup, beauty and lifestyle. 

They are mainly a beauty retailer for authentic beauty brands from all over the world, you get to shop at amazing discounts and you also get educated while you're at it! They have educative videos (which is where I come in) as well as product reviews. Follow them on all their social media channels, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat...

Our very first collaboration is the Series, 'Know Your Brush'. In the first part of the series, I teach about types of foundation brushes. These are important because the first step in achieving a flawless face is applying foundation, whether liquid or cream. Good quality brushes are an absolute must and these you can buy for great prices from the Podozi online store. 

I leave you with the video below which explains about the brushes. Do remember to subscribe to the Podozi YouTube channel so that you keep abreast of the series as well as other educative videos which will be uploaded from time to time.


Till next time, stay blessed and beautiful!

Love,

ShukShuk
