Powder Brush

The Clinique Powder Brush is the large, plush one you finish with. Clinique positions it for setting powder in either loose or pressed form, dusting it over the face evenly enough that the skin keeps looking like skin.

What it actually does

• Sets makeup without flattening it. Clinique describes the result as a soft, natural-looking finish — the point of a plush head is that it leaves a veil rather than a layer.
• Handles loose and pressed formats. Both setting powder types work with the same brush, which saves owning two.
• Doubles for bronzer. The brand notes it works well with bronzing powder too.
• Finishes the whole face. Clinique suggests running a clean brush over the edges of your makeup as a last step to soften any visible borders.
• Built-in protection. Clinique's antibacterial technology helps keep the bristles protected.

How to use

1. Load the fluffy head with powder.
2. Tap it against your palm so the excess falls away before it reaches your face.
3. Sweep across the face — over foundation to set it, or on bare skin on its own.

Upkeep: wash face brushes daily or weekly depending on how often you use them, per Clinique. Their Makeup Brush Cleanser sprays on to lift residue build-up.

Questions

Why does my powder look heavy?

Almost always because the excess was never tapped off. Clinique's own instruction is to shake it out against your palm before the brush touches skin — a plush head holds a lot of powder and will deposit all of it if you let it.

Can I use it without foundation?

Yes. Clinique describes applying powder on its own as well as over foundation, so a light dust on bare skin is a legitimate use.

Is it the same as the bronzer brush?

They overlap. This one is presented primarily as a setting powder brush that also handles bronzer, so if bronzer is occasional for you, one brush covers both.
