What Is a Foundation Brush?
A foundation brush is a medium-sized makeup brush that applies liquid, cream or powder foundation to the skin. The brush has a plastic handle and bristles on the end. Most foundation brush bristles are very soft to the touch. This kind of brush allows foundation makeup to be applied evenly on the face. Some foundation brushes have short bristles, while others have longer bristles. Short-bristled brushes are generally used for cream or liquid foundations. Long-bristled brushes are used for powder foundations. The purpose of the brush is to create a smooth and even look on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin using foundation.
