Knowing Your Brushes – Makeup Essentials 101 – Woman’s Essential Makeup Asset & Accessories – Take Care of your Makeup Brush Collection

Makeup accessories are such, that you can’t have them constantly scattered about on your desk, or dresser top. You need to get a little organized, and get your things all coupled together in one place. The best way to keep all your makeup items together, without the trouble of misplacing something important, is to own a makeup brush holder, or a makeup bag to be precise. Brushes are an important part of makeup, since without it, you’d be caught in a messy situation of using your fingers as substitutes (a big no no when it comes to applying makeup). Emergency situations call for such extreme measures, but if you can save yourself the trouble of doing that, why not just get a compact brush holder? You don’t have a shell out money on a brush holder, you could just make one at home. If you want to sharpen your sewing skills and try a hand out at making one from home, then you’ll find out soon enough on how to get started on this little project.

Knowing Your Brushes – Makeup Essentials 101

There’s no point picking up a bunch of brushes from a cosmetic store, without knowing what each one does. Every contour of a brush is designed in such a way to give your face, eyes or lips that unique blend of colors, producing a certain look which no two brushes will do. So before we venture into how to make a makeup brush holder, we’ll first briefly go through the different kinds of brushes that are available for makeup application.

Concealer Brush
A girl’s best friend when it comes to makeup, has to be her concealer, especially if she’s planning on whizzing out the door without anything but eyeliner, which is her second best friend by the way. It hides flaws and uplifts one’s face making it look more radiant, and well, alive. This brush is used to cover up blemishes and spots that one wants to camouflage under a well picked out concealer that goes perfectly with one’s skin tone. Wondering which brushes to replace or own?

Lip Brush
Using this brush makes you even out your lipstick, keeping it within your lip lines, and corners. It gives you a clean look, making it last longer when spread out like so. The two important brushes that fall under types of lip brushes are, long handed brushes, and the retractable lipstick brush.

Eyeshadow Brush
There are three distinct areas that eyeshadow brushes cover, and with that come three significant brushes. The first one is the angled brush, used to blend colors towards the creases of your eyes; the second one, the blending brush, is used to merge two colors of eyeshadow to give it either a softer look, or mesh two colors; and lastly a shadow brush, used to apply eyeshadow all over the lid of your eye, where the eye socket bump lies. Eyeliner brushes are those that come twisted within bottles containing liquid eyeliners, that can be applied either in thin or thick strokes depending on the brush’s design. A liner brush is used to separate any eyelashes that have clumped together after mascara has been applied.

Facial Brushes
There are two kinds that come into this area of applying makeup, one being the contour brush, meant to apply blush onto one’s cheekbone area; and the second one being the large powder brush, used to dust excess powder off the face for an overall even and clear look. A foundation brush is used to evenly apply a layer of foundation all over the face, eliminating that blotchy look.

Makeup Brush Holder Ideas

For an interesting makeup brush holder pattern, we’ll look into one such way of making these at home, with the convenience of even carrying these around in your handbag.

What You’ll Need

:

• Fabric (slightly thick, two rectangles cuts in 8″ by 6″, use more for a bigger pouch)
• Zip
• Sewing thread and needle
• Scissors

How to Begin:

After you cut out two rectangular pieces of your fabric measured eight inches by six inches, use the wider end, that is the 8 inches edge, and fold one inch of the fabric from the top, all the way to opposite end (like an envelope flap). This is where the zip will be fitted. Do this for both rectangular pieces, and then flip it over (on the wrong side of the fabric to complete work within the pouch), and place against the folded sections, your zip. Sew these 1 inch flaps over the zip top, all the way to the ends. Using your two loose ends, sew them up only where the fabric halves meet, and not all the way through. Then lift and keep it titled on one side, and pinch the opening edges out so that the fabric sticks out like little horns. Do this on all four sides and pin them down to keep these jutting out fabric horns stiff. Then sew these according to how the fabric takes shape once you’ve pinched them in that outward fashion. You’ll have a bag that is inside out, with the zip facing you. Turn it out properly to its right side, and whatever work you’ve done will fall towards the inside of the pouch, leaving you with a completed makeup holder as a result.

A makeup brush holder is a great way of keeping all your important brushes together in on place. Just make sure you put it in a different compartment so that you don’t have to sift through your makeup pouch to look for the right brush, if you want to also put your makeup into it as well. Binding these together or putting these in one separate pouch, away from your makeup is a smarter option. Keep it stylish.
