An artist-inspired brush that melts foundation into the complexion better than fingers for a skin-like finish. The custom designed brush soaks up formula without wasting product to deliver streak-free coverage. Pairs perfectly with any Laura Mercier foundation.

Benefits:

• Angled Ferrule: Precisely cut at an 18-degree angle for controlled application.
• Domed Tear Drop Shape: Intuitively designed to comfortably fit into all contours of the face.
• Ultra-soft brush with densely packed synthetic bristles: Fuse foundation with skin for streak-free coverage with a skin-like finish.

PRODUCT PICK UP AND LAY DOWN

For best results with powder products:  

Press or swirl bristles in pressed powder to or dip into loose powder to pick up the product.

Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the powder into the bristles. This will ensure powder is loaded evenly and will minimize fallout.

Gently tap brush once on back of hand once or twice to shake off any excess product.

For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.

For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and swirl to blend.  

For best results for crème or liquid products:

Dispense a small amount of product on the back of the hand and pick up some product with the brush.

Next, press brush onto back of hand to work the crème into the bristles. This will ensure product is loaded evenly.

Gently tap brush once on back of hand to minimize any excess product.

For Brushes with flat ferrule, apply with a pressing motion and smooth over to blend.

For Brushes with a round ferrule, apply with a sweeping motion and stipple to blend with larger brushes, swirl to blend with small brushes.

HAND POSITION AND GRIP: For Precise and Detailed Application

Hold brush at the center of the handle or closer to the ferrule between thumb and middle finger.

For added control, use pointer finger with a light touch on handle – this will act as a "guide" during application. It should feel like you're balancing the brush.

 HAND POSITION AND GRIP: To Blend and Diffuse

Hold brush with a loose grip closer to the end of handle with your thumb, pointer and middle fingers

Use your wrists, rather than fingers to guide – this will provide the most "painterly" result.

PRO-TIPS

For powder products use a lighter grip. Allow the brush to feel the undulations of the skin itself.

For crème or liquid products grip normally and guide the brush where you want it to go.

Aim to apply product very sheerly first and then build as needed.

BRUSH CARE

Cleanse as needed with mild shampoo and warm water.

To protect your brush fibers, cleanse in the direction of the hair by using a sweeping motion; never “swirl” or harshly rub brushes on any surface.

Rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze water through the hair, going from base to tip.

Repeat if necessary.

Reshape brush fibers to original form.

Allow to air dry on a flat surface. Do not stand brushes on end to dry.

When traveling, carry brushes separately from other makeup to protect the brush fibers from bending and fraying.
