power smoother™ buffing brush

Tarte Power Smoother™ Buffing Brush is a dense foundation brush with an angled head, built to press liquid base into the skin rather than drag it across. Tarte designed it alongside its skin treat poreless foundation, and the angle is what lets you drop extra coverage exactly where you need it.

What it actually does

• Works foundation into the skin evenly. Tarte says the head buffs and blends base makeup without leaving streaks behind.
• Puts coverage where you ask for it. The dense, angled bristles are shaped to concentrate product on the spots you want covered instead of spreading it uniformly.
• Softens the look of lines. According to the brand, buffing with this head helps blur and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Pairs with the matching foundation. Tarte built it to work with skin treat poreless foundation, though it handles liquid base generally.
• Vegan and cruelty-free, as stated by Tarte — no animal hair in the head.

How to use

1. Dot foundation onto the face first — cheeks, forehead, chin — or load a little onto the brush head.
2. Buff in small circles, working from the centre of the face outward. Tarte recommends exactly this motion to keep the finish from going cakey.
3. Turn the angle to your advantage. Tilt the head so the longer side reaches the jaw and hairline, and press the flatter side where you want more coverage.
4. Keep it clean. Dense brushes hold a lot of liquid base, so wash with a mild soap or brush shampoo, rinse until the water runs clear, reshape the head and dry it flat.
