Product FAQ+

can i use this for cream blush or just powder?

about 75% of community members use brush 05 with powder products and find it works well there. some community members have had success with cream blush by using a light tapping or stippling motion, though around 10% noted that cream formulas can be trickier to blend with this brush compared to powders. for cream-heavy routines, many suggest a gentle hand.

will this work on a small face?

many community members with smaller faces say brush 05 is a great fit, offering enough precision without being oversized. roughly 8% felt it was slightly large for very small faces, but the tapered shape allows you to use the narrower tip for more controlled placement. the flat side can also be angled to adjust coverage area.

how do i use both sides of the brush?

community members frequently mention using the broader flat side for sweeping bronzer or powder across larger areas, then rotating to the narrower tapered tip for targeted blush placement on the cheeks. some also use one side for blush and flip to the clean side to blend or apply a second product like highlighter.

does it pick up hard-pressed or baked powder formulas?

yes, this is a standout feature that community members consistently mention. the natural hair bristles grip even firmly pressed and baked formulas that synthetic brushes struggle with. many note they need less product than expected because brush 05 picks up pigment so efficiently.

what is the best way to apply highly pigmented blush without overdoing it?

community members recommend tapping off excess product before applying, or lightly grazing the pan rather than swirling. about 68% say the brush naturally deposits a controlled, buildable amount. starting with a light hand and building up in layers is the most common technique mentioned for pigmented formulas.
