[@isabelpellot324]

The NYX foundation brush is one of the best foundation brushes on the market; Jackie Aina put me to it. The Real Techniques blush brush is my absolute favorite blush brush. It just diffuses the product so nice. I’m more of a tapered brush fan for highlighter. I feel like with a fan brush the product tends to end up lower than I want it placed. As always your makeup came out stunning 🤩

[@its_eboni]

Hi I'm a beginner and I'm very intrigued about the comment you made re how the shape of the brush affects product placement. Does it matter what shape face you have? I'm angular/asymmetrical with very high cheekbones.

[@CharityOnyesom-rc9zj]

How can I get all the brushes?

[@KBelle808]

Loved this! I’m a beginner and have soooo many questions. I still don’t have the whole routine down yet mostly because I’ve got super super dry skin and secondly, I’ve got loads of freckles!! So I’m having the hardest time finding the right foundation. I did the Ilmakiage quiz but idk it’s still kinda off and leaves slightly orange residue. Then when it comes to concealer I have no idea what I’m doing. So I end up skipping those and just doing contour, bronzer, blush, eyes and lips. I’m feeling frustrated and wish I had a friend who could help me. Thanks for being the next best thing. I appreciate your tutelage. Mahalo nuí loa, Aloha🌺

Real Techniques setting brush is the 🐐 for under eye concealer and also setting under eye powder

[@its_eboni]

What about which brushes to use for nose contour and eye makeup?

[@juanitarosales2822]

Hi! When you love brushes never is in off! Jajaja

[@DeniseXdeSC]

Can one use an angled brush for the blush? Also, I received as a gift a super wide and flat brush from kiko and I'm unsure how to use it. They say it's multi-purpose, for foundation and powders, but still I don't know how to use it, because I have an oval shaped face with small cheeck bones, I use liquid foundation and compressed blush, but it's a small packaging, like travel size and the kiko kabuki brush is so wide...
