Answer :————————
I just got my coastal scents 88 ultra shimmer palette and the 88 warm palette yesterday!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!! you are going to be very happy with them! the only down side is that each color is only about the size of a dime..but they are VERY pigmented! so you dont have to use much!
i own tons of MAC brushes! they are my favorite..but they are a little expensive. i just recently came across the e.l.f brushes and they are only $1 a brush! they arent as good as mac brushes but they defiantly get the job done!

What brush should I use to apply mineral veil?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I am about to purchase Bare Escentuals mineral veil. What type of brush should I use to apply this to my face? A kabuki brush? A buffering brush? An airbrush? Also, any recommendations on the brand of the brush? Thank you.
Answer :————————
You don't want a heavy cover of mineral veil. I suggest the flawless face brush by Bare Minerals rather than the kabuki brush.
How often should i wash my foundation brush?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Answer :————————
You should wash your foundation brushes every day and give them a deep thorough cleaning once a week. Aside from exposing your skin to germs and being generally unhygienic, not cleaning your brushes regularly can damage them as well. You can pick up a daily disinfecting cleanser (e.l.f. sells a good one for around $3.00 US) and a brush shampoo for a once a week deep clean. Another alternative is a gentle clarifying shampoo. Never soak your brushes in water, it will ruin the bristles and could rust the ferrule (little metal piece that connects the brush bristles to the handle). Wet your brushes with warm water and apply your brush cleaner. Rub it into the brushes gently, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry overnight by laying them flat on a towel or standing them bristles up in your brush holder to air dry.
What type of brush is good for bronzer, both for contouring or applying all over the face?
by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Answer :————————
They have brushes made specifically for bronzer (big and fluffy, and the hairs are really flat), and for contouring (looks like a blush brush cut on an angle). If you can only buy one, I would get a decent size blush brush, because it's small enough for contouring (brush back and forth) but it will work to apply bronzer too (use big, circular moions so you don't look streaky.)
good luck!

Answer :————————
Applying makeup with a brush or sponge?
by admin on Feb.20, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Which one is better, I usually apply my concealer and foundation with a wedge type sponge, but i am thinking about switching to a brush? Because i heard it appears better on the face…what do you think?
Answer :————————
totally the brush. apply concealer and foundation with the finger and the sponge is not good, cause both finger and sponge tend to take away more make up than putting it. and still, when you apply one, the finger and the sponge might rub away the other one.
so the brush is a lot better… it is soft and applies more quickly and has a more beautiful, natural and flawless result.
really, most make up artists prefer to use the brush, and i see why… the brush is a lot better than using your fingertips or a sponge to apply make up.
What brush should i use to apply cream eyeshadow?
by admin on Feb.17, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
i just bought some cream eyeshadow (i normally buy powder eyeshadow)
and was wondering if i can apply it w/ a regular eyeshadow brush, or a sponge tip brush, or if you could reccomend a brush to apply it with
(all of my brushes are elf brushes but i'd be willing to buy a brush at a drugstore)
thank you in advance
thank you!
Answer :————————
you'd probably like to use a Concealer brush, something small, sleek and tapered. but it that doesn't work out you can always use your fingers.
something like this,
