Contour Brush

A contour brush is a makeup tool designed specifically for the precise application of contouring products. Its shape—often angled, tapered, or flat—allows for controlled placement of darker and lighter shades to sculpt the face and body.

Types of Contour Brushes

• Angled Brush: Ideal for defining cheekbones and jawline.
• Tapered Brush: Offers precision for nose and smaller areas.
• Flat Brush: Useful for sharp lines and blending along the hairline or under the cheekbones.
• Kabuki Brush: Dense and rounded, suitable for blending larger areas or body contouring.

How to Use

1. Dip the brush into contour powder or cream.
2. Tap off excess product.
3. Apply to desired areas (hollows of cheeks, jawline, sides of nose, temples) using sweeping or stippling motions.
4. Blend thoroughly for a natural finish.

Cleaning and Care

• Clean regularly with gentle soap or brush cleanser to prevent product buildup and bacteria.
• Allow to air dry completely before next use.

• The act of cleaning a brush can symbolize care, preparation, or the end of a performance.
