What Are Lip Brushes?

Lip brushes are a must-have tool for every woman's make-up case. The lip brush is a small, soft paintbrush used to apply lipstick or gloss.

Benefits of using a lip brush

Lip brushes apply a thinner and more even coat of lipstick to your lips, ensuring that you use less lipstick than traditional application methods. The brush allows you to blend the lipstick so it is not obvious, for a more natural look. Lip gloss that is applied with a brush also stays on better and lasts longer than lipstick that is not applied with a brush. Finally, lipstick colors can be combined for one-of-a-kind looks that compliment your skin tone better than single layer colors.

Best lipstick brushes

Lipstick brushes come in a wide variety of styles. In general you want a brush with a tapered edge, so you can work gently to the edge of the lip for a smooth and exact line. You also want a brush with a cap or a retractable tip so that the tip is protected when not in use. This will keep the tip in good condition, preserving the best results. It will also ensure that your brush has a long life, meaning you won't have to replace it as often.

How to use a lip brush

Use the lip brush to define your lips by drawing a line around the outer edge of them. If your lips are a little uneven, you can use the brush to redefine your lip space and make them even. Apply color to the lower lip first. Dab at the center of the lip, then work the color out toward the corners. Stroke from side to side for a smooth, even cover. Apply to the center of the widest pint on your upper lip, on each side. Work to the center of your lip first and then to the outer corners.

Lip brushes are a guaranteed way to get perfect and natural looking lips every time. Find a shape and size that works for you and make your favorite lipsticks go further.
