Along with all the fun make-up that comes with fall, we must not forget about the important tools that make all this magic happen. Gloria Baneulos, store manager and make-up artist for Cosbar at Kierland Commons, had the low down on what brushes to add to your arsenal.


Cosbar brushes:

Foundation Brush:

This sheer foundation brush has a slight angle and allows the foundation to go on smoothly and beautifully. The brush allows for an almost airbrushed effect and doesn’t leave any streaks or brush hairs behind.

Powder Brush:

This helpful brush is firm but soft against the face. It allows you to control the amount and location of where the powder is going. Application with this brush is subtle and works great for applying bronzer.

Universal Brush: This brush will be a great addition to your tools because it does everything for your eye make-up. Whether it’s just lightly covering your lid or contouring in the crease, you will want to bring this brush with you everywhere.

Blender brush: When highlighting and contouring, it is extremely important that you have a great blending brush. This brush does an excellent job with that and will leave your peers guessing where you started and where you even ended.

Blush Brush: One sweeping motion will be enough with this brush.  You don’t have to worry about reapplying throughout the day because your blush will stay. The soft hairs allow it to grab a great amount of blush and of course feel great against your skin.

Lip Brush: Some of you might be skeptical at first and think that a lip brush isn’t necessary. Well get ready to be persuaded. Cosbar’s lip brush allows for a smooth lipstick application and even has a pointy side that can be used for liner. This is amazing because this means you don’t have to buy a matching liner for your lipstick. It’s also great at getting the last drop of lipstick out of the tube so nothing is wasted.
