Product FAQ+

can i use this for cream blush or just powder?

about 72% of community members use brush 05 primarily with powder products, where it performs at its strongest. some community members do report success with cream blush by tapping and blending lightly. however, around 8% found creams harder to work with due to the softer, less dense bristle structure. for best results with creams, use a patting motion rather than sweeping.

will this work on a small face?

many community members with smaller faces say the size is just right for precise blush and bronzer placement. roughly 10% felt it was slightly too large for their preference and wished for a smaller version. using the tapered tip or the narrow edge of the brush head gives more control on smaller areas.

how do i use both sides of this brush?

the oval, slightly flattened shape means one side is broader and the other is narrower. community members commonly use the flat side for sweeping bronzer across the cheeks and the tapered tip for more concentrated blush placement. some even dedicate one side to blush and flip it for bronzer in the same routine.

does it work with really pigmented blushes?

this is one of the most praised qualities of brush 05. around 15% of community members specifically mention using it to tame highly pigmented formulas. the bristle density picks up product evenly without grabbing too much, so color builds gradually. tapping off excess before application helps keep things controlled.

what is the best way to apply bronzer with this brush?

community members most often use light sweeping motions along the cheekbones, temples, and forehead. the slightly flattened shape hugs the hollows of the face naturally. many note that it diffuses bronzer without creating harsh lines or patches. for a more sculpted look, use the narrower edge along the cheekbone.
