Re: best brush for bulsh on

Here are 4 of the brushes I’ve often used for blush. The first 2 are available at Beautylish. 

 

Chikuhodo Z-4 Cheek: Squirrel hair. Very short handle, which I prefer. Extremely soft, fairly dense, small enough for precise application. Perfect for applying sheer layers of strongly pigmented blushes, like NARS Exhibit A, instead of giving myself a fake sunburn. Also works great with less pigmented blushes, as long as you’re not in a big hurry to slap color on your cheeks. Excels at easy blending. Don’t wash more than once a month (squirrel is too delicate for more frequent washing). The Z-4 is my favorite cheek blush and the one I reach for most often. Absolutely worth the money.

 

Chikuhodo Passion Series PS-2 Cheek: Goat hair. Quite soft for a goat brush. Very dense pom-pom shape. As small as the Z-4 with the same short handle. Easily picks up a lot of blush from the pan. Great for stamping less intensely pigmented blushes, like NARS Liberte, onto my cheek and then blending it out. Wash once or twice a month. This is one of the cheek brushes I’ll travel with. (I don’t travel with the Z-4; my precious baby stays home. 🙂

 

MAKE UP FOR EVER 156 Large Flat Blush Brush : Synthetic hair. Also a nice small size with a flattened (but not completely flat) head and average length handle. Fairly soft. Good for stamping on and blending less pigmented blushes, but doesn’t blend nearly as easily as my Chikuhodos. Kinda easy to overdo blushes like Exhibit A with this brush. Can handle frequent washing. This is another travel brush. 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION - PRO Precision Powder Brush #59: Synthetic hair. Large size and very long handle. Became less soft after washing, but still feels comfy. Good for quickly laying down blush. Pretty good at blending, thanks to its size and shape, but not as easy to precisely control as the other 3 brushes. I used to reach for this one all the time for blush, but now I only use it for bronzer—and it alternates that duty with a Chikuhodo powder brush.

@Nadi514 Tom Ford Blush Brush.  It's expensive but worth every penny.  Plus you can get it during the sale for a discount.

Hi @Nadi514,

 

I suggest the TARTE - Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Captivatingwith the SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Precision Blush Brush #73 . This blush is long wearing, looks great on all skin tones and the brush makes the application so easy! Hope this helps!

 

Best,

Rebecca

@Nadi514 I like the Sephora Pro Precision Blush Brush #73, it's on sale right now for $19. I like that it applies color in a sheer wash that you can build up.

If you're up for natural hair brush, check out Sonia G Face Two (one of the best blush brush) which is currently avail on Beautylish.
