What makeup brush for foundation?
Liquid foundation or compact foundation: same fight. We opt for a brush dyed synthetic hair, “it spoils the hair less,” says Julia Knafo make up artist for Bobbi Brown.
The good shape? Regarding the shape of the brush, it is the desired coverage that will make the difference: “if we want a medium coverage, we opt for a flat brush, if we prefer an intense coverage, then we must use a brush for the round complexion, “continues the makeup artist.

What makeup brush for the powder?
We opt for natural bristle brushes that are softer but that especially leave less traces. “Natural hair, especially goat hair, allows a better grip of the material and offer a more homogeneous distribution.It is much better for gradients,” says Victoria Monvoisin, make up artist for Nocibé.
For her part, Julia Knafo explains that the coverage will depend on the density of the hair: “the less the brush is dense, the more coverage will be light.Inversely, if we choose a brush with very dense hair, we get a coverage intense.”
The good shape? It is rather round and elongated.
