Product Description:

• An artist-inspired brush that melts foundation into the complexion better than fingers for a skin-like finish. The custom designed brush soaks up formula without wasting product to deliver streak-free coverage. Pairs perfectly with any Laura Mercier foundation.

Benefits:

• Angled Ferrule: Precisely cut at an 18-degree angle for controlled application.


• Domed Tear Drop Shape: Intuitively designed to comfortably fit into all contours of the face.


• Ultra-soft brush with densely packed synthetic bristles: Fuse foundation with skin for streak-free coverage with a skin-like finish.

Usage:

For best results with powder products:

• Press or swirl bristles in pressed powder to or dip into loose powder to pick up the product.


• Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the powder into the bristles. This will ensure powder is loaded evenly and will minimize fallout.


• Gently tap brush once on back of hand once or twice to shake off any excess product.


• For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.


• For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and swirl to blend. 

For best results for crème or liquid products:

• Dispense a small amount of product on the back of the hand and pick up some product with the brush.


• Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the crème into the bristles. This will ensure product is loaded evenly.


• Gently tap brush once on back of hand to minimize any excess product.


• For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.


• For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and stipple to blend with larger brushes, swirl to blend with small brushes.

HAND POSITION AND GRIP: For Precise and Detailed Application

• Hold brush at the center of the handle or closer to the ferrule between thumb and middle finger.


• For added control, use pointer finger with a light touch on handle – this will act as a "guide" during application. It should feel like you're balancing the brush.

 HAND POSITION AND GRIP: To Blend and Diffuse

• Hold brush with a loose grip closer to the end of handle with your thumb, pointer and middle fingers


• Use your wrists, rather than fingers to guide – this will provide the most "painterly" result.

 PRO-TIPS

• For powder products use a lighter grip. Allow the brush to feel the undulations of the skin itself.


• For crème or liquid products grip normally and guide the brush where you want it to go.


• Aim to apply product very sheerly first and then build as needed.

BRUSH CARE

• Cleanse as needed with mild shampoo and warm water.


• To protect your brush fibers, cleanse in the direction of the hair by using a sweeping motion; never “swirl” or harshly rub brushes on any surface.


• Rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze water through the hair, going from base to tip.


• Repeat if necessary.


• Reshape brush fibers to original form.


• Allow to air dry on a flat surface. Do not stand brushes on end to dry.


• When traveling, carry brushes separately from other makeup to protect the brush fibers from bending and fraying.
