What is it: A large tapered brush that works well with powders to blend or apply soft washes of colour to the eyes and face.What it does: When using on eyes, the brush can be used to create a sheer veil of colour all over lids or to create naturally diffused colour in the creases thanks to its tapered tip. Its soft and fluffy fibres can be used in a swirling or sweeping motion to blend out or soften any harsh lines. This brush also works well to bake under the eyes or to sweep off any product fallout. The brand's artists additionally love to use it for precise placement of highlighter or contour around the face. M∙A∙C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles with nickel-plated brass ferrules. The brush was expertly engineered with high-grade synthetic fibres that are resistant to breakage and non-porous fibers that are easy to clean. How to use: Use in a sweeping or swirling motion to apply or blend out colour.Pro tips: Proper care will maintain the integrity and quality of the bristles so they continue to deliver perfectly consistent results over time. For daily care: clean brushes using a soft cloth or a towel dampened with M∙A∙C Brush Cleanser (sold separately). Gently wipe brush head over the cloth until all makeup has been removed. For weekly care: wash brushes using M∙A∙C Brush Cleanser (sold separately) and warm water. Wet the head, making sure the brush head is pointed downward to prevent water from seeping into the barrel, as you gently massage the fibres with your fingers-working toward the tip. Rinse well. Carefully squeeze excess water from the brush head, wipe on a soft towel and gently arrange fibres back into their original shape. Lay flat on a fresh towel and allow brush to dry naturally. Do not stand up or use until completely dry. Synthetic bristles
