PRECISION POWDER BRUSH - 128

MAKE UP FOR EVER Precision Powder Brush – 128 is a long, flat powder brush that narrows to a tapered point. MAKE UP FOR EVER intends it mainly for the face, neck and upper shoulders, and the layered oval head is what makes it accurate enough to set one small area without disturbing the next.

What it actually does

• Sets powder exactly where you aim it. The brand's whole case for this brush is accurate powder placement with a flawless outcome.
• Reaches awkward spots. The tapered tip gets into the inner corner of the eye, either side of the nose and along the lash line, where a round brush can't.
• Layered oval head. Built up in layers rather than packed as one block, which is what gives the precise, controlled release of product.
• Covers more than the face. It's specified for the neck and upper shoulders too, so it works for finishing an open neckline.
• Straight and wavy fibres together. The straight fibres carry powder, the wavy ones soften it as you go.
• A sculpting tool, per the brand. MAKE UP FOR EVER says makeup artists favour this shape and fibre blend for carving the face and body with light and shadow.

How to use

1. Dip the tapered tip into loose or pressed powder and tap off the excess.
2. Set the small zones first. Under the eyes, the sides of the nose, the corners of the mouth — anywhere makeup normally creases.
3. Use the flat of the head for the wider parts of the cheek and forehead.
4. Sculpt if you want to. The tip works for placing a narrow line of shadow or light along the cheekbone or jaw.
5. Carry it down the neck so there's no visible difference between face and décolleté.
6. Wash it monthly. Lukewarm water, gentle shampoo, reshape the oval and dry flat.

Questions

How is it different from a big powder brush?

Scale and intent. A large powder brush covers the whole face in a few sweeps; the 128 is long, flat and tapered so you can target specific areas accurately — which is exactly what the brand designed it for.

Which powders can I use with it?

Loose and compact powders are both recommended for this brush, so setting powder, finishing powder and pressed bronzer all suit it.

Can I contour with it?

MAKE UP FOR EVER points to makeup artists using the shape and fibre blend to sculpt the face and body with shadow and light, so yes — with a powder product, it doubles as a sculpting brush.
