Chances are good that you have a flat foundation brush just like the Real Techniques Essential Foundation brush pictured above laying around somewhere in your house. You might also be wondering what to use this brush for. In my opinion, these have never been the greatest for applying foundation. I like using them for undereye concealer. As I was getting ready for an event a few minutes ago, I tried something new... and I can't wait to share it with you!
I used this brush for contouring. For contour powder, I used NYX's Highlight and Contour Palette. I dipped the Essential Foundation Brush into one of the contour powders and softly applied the contour line in circular motions. I went into the hollows of my cheeks and on my forehead and jawline. I even (and I have never done this in my entire life, but I thought hey, why not try it) contoured the sides of my nose. I was blown away by how well this brush worked! It applied the most perfect contour lines. They weren't too sharp, nor were they too soft. I did go over the lines with a fluffy powder brush and gently buff them out, but they didn't even look like they needed it. This brush worked better than any other brush I've tried for contouring! I think it would also work well to buff in a cream contour product.
If you try this out, and I hope you do, please let me know what you think!
