How to Use a Fan Brush for Contouring
With a fan brush, you can sculpt and contour your face and enhance your cheekbones. Contouring your face can leave it looking super glamorous, or simply flattering.
Before you get started, create a uniform base. Apply primer and foundation, as you normally would. Make sure you have your fan brush, a concealer/foundation stick in a lighter shade, and a concealer/foundation stick in a dark shade. Then use the foundation/concealer stick to draw out lines and curves on your temples, cheekbones, the tip of your nose, and on the tip of your chin.
For the next step, use a beauty blender and gently dab over the areas where you applied the concealer stick. Keep doing this until the concealer has blended into your base foundation. Then, apply the light foundation/concealer stick under the eyes, the center of your forehead, the bridge of your nose, and on your chin. Blend with a beauty blender.
Finally, the last and the most important step: take your fan brush and dust the contoured areas of your face for extra sculpting and definition.
How to Use a Fan Brush for Highlighting
If you want to boost your look with a luminous glow, then a fan brush is the perfect tool for giving your face that subtle sheen.
First up, select your highlighter. Use a powdered highlighter, dab your fan brush, and then dust over your cheekbones. Alternatively, if you’re using highlighter drops, add a couple of drops to your beauty blender and dab it over your cheekbones, then dust away using the fan brush to blend in and achieve a radiant glow.
