ARTIS BRUSHES VS MY MAKEUP BRUSH SET

Artis sent over six brushes for my consideration: Linear 1, Oval 6, Oval 4, Oval 3, Circle 1, (also known as the Elite Mirror Five Brush Set), and the Palm Brush Mini. Below is a breakdown of my thoughts on each brush in order of preference from most loved to least.

One word of caution for other long-wear foundation lovers: if you thought getting product out of your other brushes was a pain, prepare for an entirely different level of intensity during the cleaning process. Artis does sell a cleaning system and two cleansing pads that become more appealing to me with every wash.

For best use, try the large of the oval brushes to blend liquid foundation over the skin from the inside of your face outwards, the bristles work their magic and create a smooth and even texture. The medium oval shape is perfect for buffing out foundation or powders along the jawline for a seamless look. The smaller oval shape is amazing at blending blusher on the cheeks to highlight cheekbones. The mini slim oval brush is a dream at working product along the eyebrow line and for applying product along the nose. The small round brush is our emergency touch-up brush, perfect for fixing detailed areas or covering spots or small marks.

After moisturizing and priming the skin evenly, dot your foundation directly onto the skin and then use a clean brush to blend in each direction. When layering more products, use a patting motion to avoid creating streaks."}},"@type": "Question","name": "Is a brush or a sponge better for applying foundation?","acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer","text": "Brushes last longer and save you time because you can apply foundation faster with a brush than a sponge.

Brushes last longer and save you time because you can apply foundation faster with a brush than a sponge. Plus, brushes absorb fewer products than sponges do, so your product goes further," says MUA Tamekia Greer.

Greer recommends makeup brushes be cleaned once a week to prevent possible skin breakouts and buildup on your brushes. The cleaner they are, the better the application and the longer your brushes will last.

Looking to completely overhaul your brush set without cutting into your snack budget this month? This makeup brush set on Amazon is by far the best value, with 24 brushes for under $10. According to one reviewer, "I was honestly shocked at how good these brushes are. They blend like an absolute dream, are super easy to use, pick up a good amount of product, are very soft on the face, and feel great in my hand."

I have my face cleanser, my powder foundation, and this powder brush to thank for years of keeping my shiny lil forehead matte (it truly takes a village). IMO, the right powder brush can't be too big, or you lose control of the product, but it can't be too small, or you'll end up with a patchy finish. Basically, this is the Goldilocks of powder brushes, and I'm not alone in my love: "The brush is super soft and gives easy and smooth powder application," one reviewer writes.

Ah, E.l.f., aka my first makeup-brush love. This budget-friendly blending brush will last you a surprisingly long time (with regular cleansing), and the soft fluffy bristles will evenly blend your blush, contour, or highlighter down to an airbrushed-looking finish. "This brush is the perfect brush for my foundation," writes one reviewer. "This brush does NOT shed, and it is very comfortable to use."

If you use highlighter or a shimmery bronzer, you need a good fan brush. Really. Fan brushes are specifically designed to pick up just a hint of highlighter (see: the fanned-out bristles) so it never leaves your skin looking obvious or heavy. Plus, it'll save your regular brushes from being pinched and destroyed from your makeshift fan-brush attempts.

This fluffy brush can really be used for any powder makeup, but I especially love it for dusting bronzer along your cheekbones, forehead, and nose to add a little warmth and shimmer. Its bristles are round and fluffy, which helps it blend powder bronzer into your skin, without any streaks or patches. According to one review, "you don't have to use a lot of product for results, and it blends well."

Since travel is hopefully back, having a makeup brush set that's vacation-friendly is necessary. Not just for your mental state (just thinking about my makeup brushes rolling around in my suitcase makes me sweat), but also for avoiding a total travel skin crisis. Enter: this brush set with a cute little case that will keep them all firmly together.

If you're working with body makeup, your average foundation brush just won't get the job done (unless you're cool with spending 15 minutes buffing out your chest). This body makeup brush is flat like a kabuki brush so you can blend liquid makeup evenly and opaquely, and is wide enough to cover a larger surface area. According to one reviewer, "It smoothly and evenly applies my makeup SO QUICKLY. The angle helps to get into those spots and it's comfortable to use."

These dual ended brushes will work for painting on a bold lip, lining your eyelids, or blending in a dark shade for a smokey eye. "When I use these brushes to apply the matte lip colors," writes one reviewer, "the color goes on thinly with perfect and long lasting coverage and no drying or color pilling on the lips." Even better? They're retractable, so you can just toss 'em in your bag and not worry about it getting dirty, because hygiene.

As someone who has lived in teeny tiny apartments for, um, my entire adult life, I appreciate anything that does its job and takes up half the space, like these mini makeup brushes. And if you're not tight on space (jealous), these would also make great travel brushes.

Claims : Artis brushes are made exclusively with CosmeFibre, a revolutionary engineered fibre made for applying cosmetic and makeup products. Acc to Andy Warhol, Artis Brushes are the Rolls-Royce of Brushes.

I picked up this Elite Mirror Collection Brush set. It comes with 10 brushes. Although Artis offers more brushes than just these 10 but this et pretty much covers major brushes from their range. These brushes are designed in such a way that each brush has a multi purpose use. So they are offered in a shape form than actually by their set purpose. The brushes in this set are oval, linear and round.

Artis brushes on average have 3-10 times as many individual fibres as conventional brushes. More fibres do more work with every pass across the surface of the skin. For example, the Oval 10 Brush has over 250,000 individual fibres each with a microscopically small and soft tip.

These are cruelty/animal free brushes.This also helps in preventing any allergic or sensitive reaction one may have in using animal hair brushes.These brushes are extremely soft on the skin. They are almost like a cushion on the skin. they are THAT soft.

These brushes also have this gorgeous design. The silver handle of the brush bends a bit so the brushes move along the contours of the face. You feel this effect most when you use a big oval brush while using powder. The brush literally glides on your skin from across your face to your neck and underneath the chin.

Artis Liner Brush 6 : The Linear 6, helps produce a wider line [about 5-6 mm] of product application. This patented brush can apply a continuous soft edge line of product along the upper or lower lash line. It is also useful for creating wider line patterns for special effects or patterned makeup.

Artis Linear Brush 3: The Linear 3, has a medium width [about 3 mm] row of fibres to help concentrate product application in a line, such as along the upper lash line or below the lower lashes. This patented brush applies a perfect precise line of product along the upper lash line or tucked under the lower lash line. It can also be used for special effects makeup to create medium size lines and linear shapes.

Artis Linear Brush 1 : The Linear 1, has a very narrow [about 1-2 mm] row of fibres to help concentrate product application in a line, such as along the lash line. This patented brush can apply a precise line of product along the upper lash line or tucked under the lower lash line. It can also be used to fill in and define the brows and can simulate brow hair lines; or can be used to apply a defined line along the lip or any other part of the face. The Linear 1 brush is very helpful for special effects makeup to create crisp lines and linear shapes.
