Makeup Tools

Hi, there! I'll show you (almost) all the accesories and tools you might use to achieve a flawless makeup look (at least the most flawlessly possible).

1. Brushes: there are for each part of the face and different forms and sizes. Depending on the quality some will apply the makeup better than others. There are well known brands that make excellent brushes: Spectrum, Sigma, Morphe, M.A.C, e.l.f, wet n wild, Artis, among others.

2. Beauty Sponges: they can be used as a brush substitute. They are used for more creamy consistency products and powders. It might absorve some of the liquid or cream makeup product you are using, making you use more product than when you use your fingertips or brushes. Some companies have developed some silicone sponges that avoid this waste of product, making you use even less product and easier to clean.

3. Eyelash curler: before applying mascara, this tool helps to curl your lashes, you can find the right one for your eye shape. Some people use it after applying mascara, I prefer it before.

4. Tweezers: mainly used to shape your eyebrows or remove any unwanted facial hair, instead of using wax or razors.

5. Puff: prevents to ruin the makeup, especially when your hand or fingers (and nails) touches the face. Makeup Artists use them often.

6. Sharperner: it's used for shapening any pencil form product, mainly lip and eye products.

7. Stencil and stamps: mostly for make you get the best eyeliner wing. They are guides. There are also for eyebrows.

Stamps

8. Makeup removal products: wipes and liquids or creams, help to remove makeup. It's important after a long day wearing makeup to remove it all in order to prevent future blemishes or skin problems.

Wipes, liquid and cream

9. Lip and mascaras disposable wands: used by Makeup Artists and should be used in some places for testing a formula of a product. Stores should have these in order to let customers to try products and to prevent bacterias to grow inside any product container (and can caused any sort of disease in a customer).

10. False Eyelashes applicator: provides a better application of false lashes.

11. False Eyelashes scissors: helps to cut the eyelashes. They are small in comparisson to normal scissors.

12. False lashes glue: make the lashes to stay in place all day long. Some brands will give you a better adhesive power, but they'll be harder to revome.

13. Brushes and Beauty Sponges Shampoo, and holders: the shampoo have properties that helps the brush and sponge to last longer and some are antibacterial. The holders can be used to clean them better and afterwards, let them dry in a correct way.

14. Facial razors: there are some "razors" meant for the face (cheeks and eyebrows). It's used in the larger areas of the face or where are more hair (e.g: fuzz).

15. The last tool/applicator I can think of is: fingertips. You can use your own hand and fingers to apply makeup. (I think you don't need an image for this 😉).

I highly hope this post has interested you. And comment if I have forgotten something. I tried to remember everything.

The next post I will be talking about Makeup Brands, in general. See you soon!!
