My Best Brushes Break All the Rules

Forget what the packaging says—sometimes brushes work better when you don’t follow the rules. After years of testing, I’ve narrowed down my go-tos for a full face in six minutes flat. It’s not about brand. It’s about shape, density, and precision. A few unconventional swaps I swear by: • A sloped foundation brush for setting powder—more matte and way more control than a classic dome. • A fan-shaped highlighter brush for blush—lighter, smoother color payoff. • A flat shader for nose contour—cleaner lines than tapered or flame tips. • A jumbo tapered brush for bronzer—faster blending than wave-shaped heads. • A stippling brush for all-over sculpting—perfect for soft definition. Tool performance changes with slight shifts in bristle length, angle, and density. Face shapes vary, but brush logic doesn’t: let the form guide your function. #beauty #makeup #brushes
