Blush trends are bombing right now, but let’s take a second to talk blusher brushes because without them, we wouldn’t be able to bring our blush to life. With so many blush types available, from blush palettes to cream blushes, understanding what brushes provide good quality application is important to ensure you’re getting the most out of your blusher.
Deciding what brush is right for you depends on the kind of formula you’re working with. For cream and liquid blushes, it’s easier to blend them in with synthetic brushes because natural fibre bristles are more prone to absorb moisture whereas powder blushes work better with a natural fibre cheek brush.
Where you’re applying your blush can also alter what you’re looking for. If you usually apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks, then a denser, more square-shaped cheek blusher brush is the one for you, however, for a higher, more sculpted placement, an angled blusher brush would work better. And don’t forget for all over usage, a general face brush is your best bet!
As you can tell there’s lots to consider and pinpointing what brush to buy isn’t easy. So, we’ve saved you the stress and gone through our offerings and created a list of the best makeup brushes for applying blushers to help you.
