ABOUT THE BRUSHES
Our brushes are handmade to the highest standards, using only premium quality, VeganLuxe™ synthetic fibres.
This ensures the softest brush with excellent pigment pickup, colour payoff and blendability. Our handles are made from sustainable wood and are triple lacquered to endure daily use, whilst the ferrules are solid aluminium. All our brushes can be used with creams, liquids, and powders, and are fully washable.
And, each brush is individually labelled, for your convenience!

101 FOUNDATION BRUSH
Dense but soft fibres make for flawless foundation application, with a soft-focus finish. That's what makes this our best seller! Use it to apply a single layer of product, or to build coverage where you want it. The tapered design allows you to get to those hard to reach areas around the corners of the nose and between the brows. Can also be used to apply powder to the t-zone area with precision.

102 POWDER BRUSH
Our oh-so-soft powder face brush gives you an airbrushed, flawless finish. You can also use it for a filtered, diffused, blush application.

103 BRONZER BRUSH
We're seriously big "fans" of our generously sized bronzer brush! Talk about multi-purpose : As well as giving you the smoothest bronzer application this side of Maui, the bronzer brush can be used with highlighter to give you a soft, lit-from-within glow. And, it's perfect for finishing or setting powder. PS. Use it on your face or body!

104 BLUSH BRUSH
This gorgeously soft, contoured blush brush applies and blends pigment like a dream. Use it for the precise application of blush or to create a seamless "are those cheeks for real" contour.

105 CHEEK BRUSH
A baby sister to our Foundation 101 brush, this little beauty makes applying cream or liquid blush a cinch. Can also be used to apply foundation seamlessly (just like her bigger sister.)

201 PENCIL BRUSH
Gentle, precise and soft, our pencil brush is the ultimate eye enhancer. Use it on the lower lid for a smoked-out wash of shadow. Or on the outer corner, for a more intense colour. Can also be used on hooded eyes for precise application of pigment in the crease.

202 LID BRUSH
She has never been voted the sexiest brush in the world, but she gets the job done! Sweep across the lid for an even wash of colour or gently pat the lid for a more precise, intense shadow application.

203 CREASE BRUSH
A tapered crease brush, ideal for applying pigment to the crease or a diffused wash of shadow over the entire lid. This lady is BFF's with the Blend 204. Get them both!

204 BLENDER BRUSH
Great for diffusing harsh lines and softening edges for a seamlessly blended look. Can also be used to graze the cheekbones with highlighter. She's the perfect wingwoman to our Crease 203 brush!

205 CONCEALER BRUSH
We call this our Multi-eye tasker! Perfect for blending out concealer under the eye area, this multitasker can also be used as a "one and done" eyeshadow brush. It's also perfect for contouring the nose!
BRUSH CARE
We recommend cleaning your brushes every 1-2 weeks, depending on how frequently they are used. The less product buildup your brushes have, the more flawless and streak-free your application! Regular cleaning will also prolong the lifespan of your brushes.
SUGGESTED BRUSH CLEANSERS
We recommend a gentle hand soap, baby shampoo or a tiny amount of Sunlight liquid.
STEP 1
Use tepid water – nothing too hot as this can damage the glue that holds the fibres in the ferrule (the silver aluminium part).
STEP 2
Wet the fibres under running water. Do not immerse the entire brush in water, as this will weaken the glue that holds the fibres in place (refer to step 1). Keep the fibres pointed downwards to prevent water from getting inside the ferrule.
STEP 3
Take a small amount of cleanser in the palm of your hand (you can also use one of our cleaning mats) and gently swirl the brush head into the cleanser. Rinse the brush head and repeat the washing process until the water runs clear.
STEP 4
Gently squeeze the excess water out of the brush head. Pat the brush head lightly with a dry towel. Reshape the brush head and lie the brush flat to dry. (Do not dry the brush upright with the fibres facing up, as this could lead to water seeping into the ferrule).
