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
