So, don't miss this super tutorial by Ratolina where he tells you everything, everything and everything about the brushes to make up the eyes and how to use each one.
The key is to practice
It is better that you go testing with two or three brushes first. If you're just starting out on makeup, don't buy a super kit . It is best to start with the basics and then you will gradually expand your toiletry bag. If you prefer loose ones, Ratolina assures that the essentials are the one known as "cat's tongue" and the blurrier.
What type of hair do I choose?
You can use synthetic or natural hair brushes , depending on the texture. In general, synthetic brushes are used to apply cream shadows or eyeliners, because these products contain more oil, and the brush, having less absorption capacity, drags them more easily. The more porous natural hair brushes are preferably used with powdered textures.
How to clean them
If you do your makeup daily, you should clean them every 2 weeks at most. This will keep your skin in good condition and the makeup result will be better. For synthetic hair brushes, put a drop of dishwasher on your hand with a little water and rub the brush until the foam comes out white. Rinse very well. For natural hair brushes, use a pH-neutral or baby shampoo.
