What's wrong with the brush that comes with blush or eyeshadow?

Question

People always say not to use the brush that comes with some blush compact, or not to use the eyeshadow applicator that comes with the eyeshadow compact.

Why? What difference does a brush make when applying makeup?

Answer 1

The problem with the brushes that come with most blush is that they're too small to adequately apply blush to the face. They tend to leave blush that isn't very spreadable looking streaky. A bigger, rounder brush is much better for blush application. As for the eyeshadow brush, I will sometimes use that, but it depends on where on my lid I'm actually applying the eyeshadow. (the crease, the lower lid, etc.) It also depends on the type of eyeshadow I'm using. If the eyeshadow is a wet shadow or damp, I find that the foam brush tends to absorb some of it, thus wasting it. I'll use it for powder eyeshadow sometimes though.

Answer 2

The sponge for eyeshadows waste to much product and dont go on as dark as using a brush
and the brush that comes with blushes are tiny and hard they scratch your face its better to buy a bigg blush brush so your blush isnt streaky from the small brush

Answer 3

You can use custom brushes if you want that flawless appearance even though there isn't that much difference. Bacteria does gather on the brushes that come with the makeup but it's pretty harmless as long as you don't share. The brushes are fine to use. Different brushes do make a difference but not a huge one. You are safe to stick with your brush.

Answer 4

it may be too small or the hairs it is made up is not fine enough to give a good blend of the blush powder on ur cheeks. it is good to have a bigger brush in ur cosmetics set at home. small ones can be kept for use when u need touch ups after shopping or dinner. MAC's brush is very good. The Body Shop is not bad as well.

Answer 5

If you are buying a cheap blush or eyeshadow you will notice that when you are applying make up the brush will start falling apart.

Answer 6

The brushes that come with makeup often are not very good quality or are awkward to handle making it hard to use properly. Using better grade brushes helps insure proper application of your makeup. To get the best results you need good tools.

Answer 7

nothing wrong bt many people prefer to buy better durable one .

as most of the eyeshadow comes wit sponge applicator.. so far as i hv make up for yrs.. only shiseido still remain intact. the rest fall apart in 2-3yrs..

rgd blusher brush .. ppl usally do not prefer the 'come with' one coz usually they are very small .. not big enough to blend and spread evenly on the face. & some might have very very coarse hair .. which mk ppl feel......uncomfortable~!

so in concude .. i think its gd to invest in a good blusher brush and eye make up brush for gd blending!

Answer 8

Nothing is wrong with the brush that comes in a compact.

Answer 9

different brushes can make a different effect night looks? and natural loos go for the big huge ones and for shadow get the really edgy ones so you can use it as hot powder for liner if u understand me... and usually the ones that come with the make u is really crapy... and umm i would gey nyc make up and other really famous ones to be sure that there is no problem using it
and get variety of brushes for different occations so make sure u try them out!!
