maneater™ silk stick brush

The Tarte maneater™ silk stick brush exists for one job: taking the stripes you've swiped on with a cream bronzer stick and turning them into something that looks like sun. Soft synthetic bristles, vegan and cruelty-free, cut for blending cream textures rather than powder.

What it actually does

• Blends cream formulas without eating them. Tarte describes the bristles as super-soft and synthetic — the kind of head that moves cream colour around instead of soaking it up the way a sponge does.
• Diffuses the swipe marks. It's the finishing step after a stick bronzer, so the edges of each stripe disappear and you're left with a sculpted shape rather than visible lines.
• Vegan and cruelty-free. No animal hair in the head.
• Made as a pair. Tarte positions it as the matching tool for maneater™ silk stick bronzer, so the head size suits the width of a cream stick.

How to use

1. Swipe the stick straight on. Draw maneater™ silk stick bronzer along the top of the cheekbones, across the edges of the forehead and down the jawline.
2. Buff the lines away. Take the brush over each stripe with short back-and-forth and circular movements until you can't see where it started.
3. Work fast. Cream and stick textures set as they warm on skin, so blend each section before moving to the next one.
4. Add in thin layers. Another light swipe is easier to blend than one heavy one.
