About This Quiz
Almost every makeup enthusiast has a set of brushes and beauty tools that they use daily. Some of these brushes are used to deposit loose mineral powder into the crevices of the face, while others are used for more precise applications, such as concealing or contouring. Let's take a look at some examples of beauty brushes and tools below.
Some brushes are round and fluffy and are great for large surface areas of the face and body. Examples of these brushes include the kabuki brush and the palm brush. Other brushes are great for applying liquid foundation, like a foundation brush. If you want to focus more on the eyes, you can use tools like a flat shader eye brush or a pointed eyeliner brush.
