double-ended cheek brush

Tarte's double-ended cheek brush gives you both halves of a cheek look on a single handle — an angled head that shapes and lifts, and a fluffy head that drops glow on the high points. Soft synthetic bristles, 100% vegan.

What it actually does

• Lifts the cheeks visually. Tarte describes the angled end as lifting and contouring — the slanted cut follows the line of the cheekbone, so colour lands where it shapes rather than where it flattens.
• Catches the light on the second end. The fluffy side is there for highlighter on the high points of the face.
• Replaces two brushes. Blush and highlighter in one tool, which is useful if you keep your makeup in a small bag.
• 100% vegan. Soft synthetic bristles on both heads — no animal hair.

How to use

1. Angled end into your powder blush. Load it, then lay the slant against the cheekbone and sweep upward to lift and shape.
2. Flip to the fluffy end for highlighter. Tap it over the top of the cheekbone, the bridge of the nose and the brow bone for a soft glow.
3. Build gradually. Start with less pigment on the brush and add — cheek colour is far easier to deepen than to take back off.
