Wotnot Make-up Brush x 8 Set

The brush hair is made from cruelty free synthetic fibres with anti bacterial properties.

Foundation - pour a small amount of foundation (assuming you are using a liquid) onto the back of your hand. Pick up some foundation with the foundation brush (3). If you prefer light coverage, dip only one side of the brush in the makeup. If you want fuller coverage, use both sides of the brush to pick up the makeup. Use broad, downward strokes to sweep and blend the makeup onto the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. Use the tapered edges of the brush to blend the makeup into those hard-to-reach areas, like the corners of the nose, hairline and around the eyes and mouth. 

Blusher - use an upward sweeping motion, with your Wotnot blusher brush, to apply blush to the outer edge of your cheek bone. Add a hint of colour to your chin and forehead to create a natural, warm look to your face.

Eye shadow- light shades bring out your eyes and darker shades give them dimension. If you have small eyes and want to give the impression of larger eyes, you could use lighter shades.

To prevent shadow from creasing, put foundation on your lids first, then powder. This gives you a clean canvas to work with.

The first step of applying eye shadow is to apply a light colour over your entire eye lid from lash line to brow with a large flat eye shadow brush.

The second step is to apply a medium shadow colour on your lower lid from lash line to the crease of your eye with the eye contour brush. The eye contour brush also lets you drag the shadow to get that smokey effect.

The third step is to use your darkest colour as a liner and apply using the angled eye brush along your lash line. To insure shadow will not flake, dampen your eyeliner brush before applying shadow. This will make it last longer.

You can also use the angled eye brush to apply a little shadow to further define the crease.

To get the best finish use colours that blend together naturally so that the finished effect does not look like three separate colours.

Eyebrows use the comb end of the eyebrow brush to separate the lashes before applying mascara and the brush side to even out the eyebrows and make them more defined.

Fine detail - the Wotnot lip brush helps you create a more defined lip line. Apply some of your favourite lipstick to the brush and apply to the lip line with care. This brush can also be used for applying concealer or any other fine detail work.

Caring for your brushes - A great low-cost alternative to a specialist make-up brush cleaning product is to use Wotnot baby wash. Simply swirl the brush's head through some shampoo diluted in water and rinse. Pat dry.
