Understanding the differences in powder brushes
When it comes to finding the best powder brush for under eyes, it’s important to know the differences between the types of brushes. A fluffy powder brush is great for spreading powder over larger areas of the face, while a smaller, denser brush is better for precise application under the eyes. Look for a brush with soft, fine bristles that won’t irritate the delicate skin under your eyes and make sure the brush feels comfortable in your hand.
The best brushes for setting powder
One of the most popular ways to use powder under the eyes is to set concealer and prevent creasing. For this task, look for a brush with a pointed tip that can get into small areas like the inner corners of your eyes and around your nose. The Hakuhodo Usako Brush Set is a great option for setting powder thanks to its pointed Usako brush.
The best brushes for applying powder foundation
If you prefer to use powder foundation under your eyes, a larger brush may be better suited to your needs. A brush like the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Flat Top Buffing Foundation Brush #6 works well for applying powder foundation under the eyes, as its flat top allows for even application while the dense bristles help to buff the powder into your skin.
The best brushes for touch-ups on-the-go
If you need to touch up your powder throughout the day, a compact brush is a great option. The Sephora Collection Travel Size Powder Brush #31 is perfect for under-eye touch-ups on-the-go, thanks to its small size and retractable design.
Don’t forget to clean your brushes regularly
No matter which powder brush you choose for under eye application, it’s important to clean it regularly to prevent bacteria buildup and prolong the life of the brush. Use a brush cleaner or gentle soap and warm water to clean your brushes every 1-2 weeks.
