park ave princess™ cream face brush

Tarte's park ave princess™ cream face brush is a double-ended tool made specifically for cream cheek products. One end is flat, for blending cream blush softly into the cheek; the other is angled, for defining and bronzing. Tarte's claim is that it lifts and sculpts the cheeks instantly, and the synthetic bristles are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

What it actually does

• Handles cream formulas properly. Tarte built it for cream products specifically, and says it blends them seamlessly — synthetic bristles don't drink up cream the way natural hair can.
• Two shapes, two jobs, one handle. The flat side is the blending end for blush; the angled side is the one that gives shape and contour.
• Lifts and sculpts the cheek area. That is the brand's stated result from using both ends together — blush placed high, bronze carved underneath.
• Matched to a specific duo. Tarte says it pairs perfectly with the park ave princess™ cheek duo in cream, so blush and bronzer can be applied with the one tool.
• Vegan and cruelty-free. Both confirmed by the brand.

How to use

1. Blush with the flat end. Pick up cream blush and blend it into the cheek until the edges disappear.
2. Bronze with the angled end. Flip the brush over and use the angle to sculpt and bronze the cheeks with your cream bronzer.
3. Keep the order in mind. Most people place bronze low to shape, then blush above it, then blend where the two meet.
4. Clean it often. Cream products build up in the bristles quickly — wash with warm water and a little gentle shampoo, rinse until clear, and dry the brush flat.
