Right makeup brush for foundation and powders is just as important as the foundation makeup itself. New makeup brushes should be washed before using to remove any leftover residue, excess dye and loose hairs from the manufacturing process. A powder blush is the largest brush you should have in collection. This brush is used to set the finishing powder onto your face and help soften your foundation.
Various Makeup Brushes:

A foundation brush has a flat shape and long bristles.
Choosing the right brushes does not have to be a tricky process.

Eyeliner brushes to apply liquid eye shadow or to blend eye shadow around the eyes for a smoky.

Powder brush is used to dust loose powder over your face, setting your makeup and eliminating any shine.

Eye-shadow brushes are designed to give you just the right amount of color to the lid without looking like you just caked it on there.

Face Brushes
Let's start with brushes you can use to put on foundation. A favorite brush that has become very popular with the rise of mineral makeup is the kabuki. These little brushes are short in stature and packed full of bristles. They can be used to apply mineral makeup to the face. Or dip them in your favorite bronzer to get a nice summertime glow. Take note however that these brushes will apply a thick amount of powder.

Eye Brushes
Let's move onto brush you can use when apply eye makeup. A favorite brush in this category is the basic eye shadow brush. This brush looks like a mini foundation brush with its soft bristles and rounded end. These brushes are great for blending eye shadows. If you're looking for a more dramatic look, an angled eye shadow brush can help. Just like its cousin the angled foundation brush, these brushes are great for contouring.

Lip Brushes
Last but not least, don't under estimate the power of a good lip brush! These brushes can either have a smooth point which works great for applying lip liners. Or they can feature a rounded edge which works well for applying lip gloss and lip sticks. If you find yourself with a pot of lip gloss and don't like to get your fingers dirty, these brushes can save the day!

If you wear makeup, you need to know how to clean makeup brushes. If you don't clean your make up brushes, you'll either wind up spoiling them and throwing them away, or they will mess up your clean, fresh look by changing the colors of your makeup. If you're not sure how to clean makeup brushes, don't worry; it's simple. The main thing is using the right type of cleaner for the kind of cosmetic brush you have. It's also most important to clean your makeup brushes frequently, so that there's very little build up on them.

First, run all your brushes under the sink faucet in warm water.
Clean them by using a small amount of shampoo, work in a lather, then rinse. (Makeup brushes are made out of hair so shampoo would be a great choice.)
Continue to shampoo and rinse until there's no more color from the brush.
Make a mixture of vinegar and water in a bowl. 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar.
Dip the brushes in the mixture for a couple of seconds and remove. (This will disinfect the brushes.)
Lastly, place brushes on top of towel and allow them to air dry.
