How to choose
Good brushes apply make-up more evenly and with less product. Here you'll find brushes from Mii Cosmetics, ELIN cosmetics, Make Up For Ever and Paul & Joe.
Start with these basics:
- Complexion: a foundation or kabuki brush, such as the Mii Cosmetics precise mineral kabuki brush for mineral foundation or the ELIN foundation brush.
- Blush and powder: the Mii Cosmetics perfect blush brush or the ELIN powder brush.
- Eyes: an eyeshadow brush such as the Mii Cosmetics eye apply & define brush or the ELIN eyeshadow brushes.
- Concealer and details: the Mii Cosmetics precision concealer brush or the ELIN concealer brush.
Then add an eyeliner or lip brush. Clean your brushes regularly with a brush cleanser. Also browse all ELIN cosmetics brushes.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Which brushes do I need at a minimum?
A large brush for foundation, blush and powder, a blending brush for eyeshadow and a small brush for concealer and details. With those three you'll get a long way.
How should I dry and store my brushes?
Let them dry flat, never upright, otherwise water runs into the handle and the glue loosens. Then store them with the bristles facing up.
Synthetic or natural brushes?
Synthetic brushes are ideal for liquid and cream products: they absorb less product and are easy to clean. Vegan synthetic brushes are now just as good as natural ones.
