When it comes to the tools of the trade, it’s hard to compete with makeup brushes. While finger-painting is common and sponges of various shapes have a following, every makeup pouch has at least one makeup brush to boot—because application matters as much as the product itself. High-quality formulas and long-lasting colour only go so far if they’re put incorrectly. And the right makeup brush is the difference between effortless application and patchy makeup. No wonder professional makeup artists bring a bag full of those backstage at fashion shows or to the bride’s changing room.
That’s why Tira’s range of light and fluffy brushes is an essential for your toolkit. Made with soft bristles, they are gentle on the skin, especially for sensitive spots like the skin around the eyes. The ergonomic handles give more control to get even difficult steps (hint: left eye’s liner, applying concealer to laugh lines) right. Just go back-and-forth or use circular motions to blend the products for a natural look. Ahead, we round up which brush is the perfect instrument for which step in your routine.
A good contour brush gets placement right but also helps with diffusion. For a finish that’s angular but not overdone, use the tapered Tira Contour Brush. It picks up the right amount of product and deposits it for a skin-like effect. Just pinch the brush to get the exact lines on your face for definition and then blend out. Whether you are using a cream contour or a powder version, it’s very travel-friendly. The best part? It can also be used to add on a layer of highlighter, bronzer or blush.
A must-have for getting a smooth base, a detailer brush is used for blending and feathering products. It can also add definition around the brow bone, cheekbones and jawline for the highly coveted sculpted look. A multi-use product, it can also be used with blush or bronzer to get a sun-kissed effect. Step 1: Dip the brush into some powder, highlighter or bronzer. Step 2: Apply it on your face with some tapping motions. That’s all.
When it comes to powder brushes, the shape is the key. Whether your technique is pressing the powder in or sweeping it across the face, this paddle-shaped brush spreads out and allows for controlled application. Use it to dust the powder all over your face and place it under your eyes to set the concealer. A light dusting of bronzer with this brush on the forehead and jawline can also add definition without going all in with a contour stick.
Even seasoned makeup lovers can find eye makeup challenging. Blending the eyeshadow enough, getting a tight (and even) eyeliner and using concealer in the under-eye areas can be tricky. Enter the Tira Precision Brush, made with fine, tapered bristles—its flat head picks up the right amount of pigment. A multipurpose tool, it can also be used to conceal any acne marks or dark spots. Use it to put a small dot of gold eyeshadow or highlighter in the inner corner of your eye to instantly look more awake.
Often, beauty creators are accused of getting a nose job but, in most cases, it is just a sleight of hand called contouring. While doing it on a large surface like the cheeks is one thing, contouring on the nose requires multiple dotted lines that start from between the brows and go all the way down to the tip of the nose. Then comes the blending. Getting this right can take a lot of practice and the right products. The Tira Contour Shader Brush is a versatile tool, but it’s especially useful for this purpose.
For an easy update to your makeup pouch, consider Tira’s makeup brush sets. This one contains a set of four options that can be used with foundation, concealer, contouring products and face powder.
This set includes four brushes, designed to be used for eye makeup. Use the brow brush for a natural curve and the blending brush, brow brush and eyeshadow brush to master a smoky eye.
