For precise, targeted color during the point blusher step
Use this after completing your base makeup, when you're ready to add cheek color. As the smallest brush in the PICCASSO blusher lineup (1.9 cm × 2.3 cm brush head), it delivers precise color payoff exactly where you want it—center of the cheek, just below the cheekbone, or any targeted area. Beyond blush, it's also perfect for powder touch-ups around the eyes or highlighting the bridge of the nose.
Soft sweeping motions for a gradient finish
Pick up blush with the brush, then tap once on the back of your hand to control the amount. The plush bristles hold powder evenly, so a gentle sweeping motion creates a watercolor-like wash of color with no patchiness. Adjust placement based on your face shape:
- Center of the front cheek: Creates a youthful, lifted look by shortening the mid-face visually
- Horizontal across the front cheek: Balances longer face shapes
- From cheekbone toward outer cheek: Fills in hollow cheeks and creates a slimmer impression
Gentle cleansing once or twice a week
This brush blends squirrel and pony hair, so clean it gently with a mild shampoo or dedicated brush cleanser. Dissolve cleanser in lukewarm water, swirl the bristles gently to wash, then lay flat on a towel to air dry. The clamping assembly reinforces the ferrule-to-handle connection, but avoid drying upright as water may seep in.
Perfect match for powder formulas
Thanks to the soft natural bristles, this brush works beautifully with powder blushes, highlighters, and setting powders. It's ideal for tapping powder onto oily zones like the T-zone or butterfly area, or sweeping highlighter along the bridge of the nose and brow bone for added dimension.
Protect bristle shape with the included cover
After each use, slip on the included brush cover to prevent the bristles from getting crushed or splayed. Store in a cool place away from heat and direct sunlight, and replace the brush when bristles start to fray or color payoff diminishes.
