3 Brush Make Up Challenge

 The first brush I chose to use for this challenge is a buffing brush from Sephora. I use this brush for buffing in foundation, cream bronzer and for this challenge i also used it to apply cream blush and buff in my concealer.

 The next brush I chose to use is my MAC 217. This brush is great for blending out eyeshadow, but can also be used to place colour. 

The last brush I chose is the MAC 208. This tiny angled brush is great for brows and eyeliner, but for this challenge I also cleaned it and re used it to apply my lipstick. 

The final look I created is a wearable daytime red lip. 

Step 1. Buff in foundation using the buffing brush.
Step 2. dot concealer onto face using fingers, and buff in with buffing brush.
Step 3. Clean the brush brush cleaner, and use the same brush to apply a cream blush to the cheeks.
Step 4. Take your angled brush and fill in the brows, I used a cream brow product.
Step 4. Using a white eyeshadow and your blending brush, pack the white colour onto the lid up to the brow bone.
Step 5. Take a dark brown shadow on the same brush, and blend into the crease.
Step 6. Switch back to your angled brush, and use a black shadow to create a winged liner.
Step 7. Clean your angled brush. Then use this brush to apply lipstick.
Step 8. Apply mascara.


This challenge has made me more aware of the different uses of my make up brushes, and how you can adapt them to work for different products and areas of the face. This is a useful skill to have as a make up artist as you may have to work in a situation with limited kit, for example some brushes may go missing but you still have to complete the look to a high standard.
