Your Guide to Using Makeup Brushes like a Pro

by Sarah Ferguson


I own a coffee mug full of makeup brushes. Some are short and squat with pillowy bristles. Some are tall and sleek with angled fibers. Others are somewhere in between. But all of them, for the most part, are collecting dust.

I was never a star art student. Brushes have always intimidated me, so as a kid, finger painting was more my speed. Embarrassingly enough, I still employ that practice today when doing my makeup.

Despite my hesitation, I know my beauty look could be greatly improved if I finally learned how to use the correct tools, so I turned to makeup artist and brush wizard Sonia Kashuk for a crash course.
