POWDER & SCULPT BRUSH

The Charlotte Tilbury Powder & Sculpt Brush is the contouring tool in the brand's rose gold and night crimson brush line. Its tapered end is shaped for placing powder precisely rather than dusting it everywhere — so you can carve shadow and lift light exactly where you want them.

What it actually does

• Shades and lifts in one tool. Charlotte designed it to darken the hollows of the cheeks and the temples, then bring light back to the cheekbones, the nose and the bow of the lip.
• Tapered end for control. The point of the head lets you work in narrow areas instead of spreading product across the whole cheek.
• Hand-shaped head. The brand says the heads carry a maximum hair count and are pulled into shape entirely by hand, by a European master brush maker.
• Measured powder pick-up. Charlotte Tilbury positions it for depositing just the right dose of product across the T-zone and around the nose.
• Part of a small core kit. The brand's view is that only a handful of key brushes are needed for a polished finish — this is one of them.
• Matches the collection. Finished in the signature rose gold and night crimson colourway used across the range.

How to use

1. Tap the tapered end into your bronzer or contour powder and knock off the excess.
2. Draw shadow into the hollow under the cheekbone and along the temples.
3. Switch to a lighter powder and sweep it over the top of the cheekbones, down the nose and onto the cupid's bow.
4. Use the tip for the T-zone and the sides of the nose, where a wide brush would overshoot.
5. Wash with a gentle brush cleanser and dry flat so the head keeps its taper.

Questions

Is this for contour or for setting powder?

Both. The brand describes it as the brush for shading and highlighting the face, and also for laying powder across the T-zone and nose.

Why is the end tapered?

A tapered head concentrates the bristles to a point, which is what lets you define the hollows of the cheeks and the nose rather than blanketing the whole area.

How is the brush made?

According to Charlotte Tilbury, the head holds the maximum number of hairs, and takes its final shape by hand — the work of a Europe-based master brush maker.
