Makeup Brushes – Face, Eyes & Lips

FAQs about Makeup Brushes

• Which makeup brushes do beginners need?

  For beginners, the essential makeup brushes are a foundation brush, powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brush and blending brush. These cover your everyday base, face colour and a simple eye look. Essential 5 Brush Set Face & Eyes is a practical way to start with a complete, organised brush routine.

• Which brush should I use for foundation?

  For foundation, choose a brush with dense bristles that blends the product evenly without streaks. Flat brushes offer more controlled coverage, while oval brushes work well for a softer, natural-looking blend. The 112 Foundation Brush, 120 Flat Foundation Brush and 221 Oval Foundation Brush support different application needs.

• Foundation brush or sponge — which should I choose?

  A foundation brush is ideal when you want better control, more even coverage and less product waste. A sponge gives a lighter finish, but often absorbs more formula. For buildable coverage, the 112 Foundation Brush and 221 Oval Foundation Brush are more targeted options for applying liquid foundation.

• Which brush should I use for eyeshadow blending?

  For eyeshadow blending, you need a fluffy eye brush that diffuses colour through the crease without harsh lines. Use circular or windshield motions and work with a small amount of product at a time. The 122 Eyeshadow Blending Brush and 125 Total Blender Brush help create a softer eye look.

• How do I care for my make-up brushes so they stay looking like new?

  To keep your make-up brushes in good condition, gently clean only the bristles and keep the handle dry. Avoid immersing the whole brush in water and let it dry naturally. With the right care, Mon Reve brushes remain practical, beautiful and ready for everyday use.

• How should I dry my make-up brushes after washing them?

  After washing, let your make-up brushes dry naturally, placed horizontally and away from radiators, hairdryers, tumble dryers or direct sunlight. Natural drying helps maintain the handle and the shape of the bristles. It is an ideal care step for every Mon Reve brush set.

• What is the right way to wash make-up brushes?

  The right way is to wet only the bristles with lukewarm water and use a gentle cleanser, without soaking the handle. Rinse gently, remove excess water with a towel and reshape the bristles. This helps you care properly for face, eye and base make-up brushes.
