Make-up brush for dry contouring, blush, dry highlighters, loose products. Made of imitation squirrel

The MS Makeup Contouring Brush NR 23 is a make-up brush specially designed for contouring the face. Contouring is a make-up technique that involves the use of darker shades of make-up to create shadows and define certain areas of the face, highlighting the facial features. A contouring brush helps to precisely apply and combine contour products such as powder, modelling or contouring product and blush. Here are some basic features and tips for using the modelling brush:

1. Shape: Contouring brushes are usually in the shape of a cross or torch. This allows for precise application and blending of styling products in the hollows of the cheeks, along the jawline, on the sides of the nose and along the hairline
2.  Bristles: the bristles of the dry styling brush can be natural or synthetic, depending on your preference. Natural bristles are mostly used for dry products, while synthetic bristles work well with creamy and liquid products. Natural hair brushes can be goat hair, squirrel hair, pony hair. But quality synthetic hair brushes are already available which are ideal for use with dry products (imitation squirrel, taklon).
3. Density: modelling brushes may vary in density. A denser brush will apply more product, while a fluffier, softer brush will give a softer, more diffused look. Choose the density that suits your desired contouring effect.
4. Size: Contour brushes come in different sizes. Smaller brushes are suitable for more targeted contouring, such as contouring the nose, while larger brushes are better suited for broader areas such as the cheeks and jawline.
5. Technique: To use the contour brush effectively, pick up the contouring product with the brush, tap off any excess and apply the product to the areas you want to contour. Blend and distribute the product with gentle movements to avoid hard lines. The key is to blend and distribute the products well to create a natural shadow effect.
6. Care: Store the make-up brush in a clean, dry place to keep it in good condition for longer. Avoid crushing the bristles as this can affect the brush's effectiveness and shape

   Remember that the key to successful contouring is to blend the products and choose the right shades for your skin tone. Contouring should subtly enhance your facial features and not look too harsh or bright. Practice and experimentation can help to achieve the desired contouring effect with a modelling brush.
