Whats the best way to hold a makeup brush?
This is a good question, since most people don’t even think about the angle of the brush as they use it. The angle makes a great deal of difference in the application effect. A lip brush held at a 180 degree angle to the lip can help the artist place a dot of colour or highlight. And, the same brush held at a 45 degree angle will help lipstick products lay down in a uniform layer on the lip as it is swept across the skin. So, the same brush can achieve a very different payoff depending on the angle of incidence the artist uses. For more on this subject, watch our videos on makeup application and brush techniques.
