Product FAQ+

can i use brush 04 with cream blush or is it only for powders?

about 35% of community members regularly use brush 04 with cream and liquid products in addition to powders. many find it blends cream blush and cream bronzer smoothly without disturbing the base underneath. a few prefer it slightly more for powders, noting cream can require a bit more effort to diffuse. stippling or patting motions tend to work well for cream application.

is this brush good for a small face?

roughly 20% of community members specifically mention having a smaller face and finding brush 04 to be an ideal fit. the compact, angled head allows for targeted placement without product spreading too far across the cheek. community members with smaller features frequently call it their go-to cheek brush for this reason.

how does brush 04 compare to brush 05?

many community members own both and use them for different purposes. brush 04 is smaller and more angled, making it better for precise placement, contour work, and smaller faces. brush 05 is larger and rounder, which community members tend to prefer for a more diffused, all-over wash of color. about 12% of community members pair the two as a daily duo.

will this work for contouring under my cheekbones?

yes, around 25% of community members use brush 04 specifically for contour. the angled shape fits naturally into the hollow of the cheek and along the jawline, and the moderate density picks up powder or cream contour products with good control. community members note it blends without leaving harsh lines.

does brush 04 pick up too much product from pigmented blushes?

about 10% of community members mention that the density of brush 04 can grab a generous amount of pigment from highly pigmented formulas. tapping off excess product before applying and using a light hand are the most commonly recommended techniques. many find this level of pickup ideal for building color gradually.
