Laura Mercier Brushes

Smokey eye make-up is child's play with the Laura Mercier Smoky Eye Liner Brush. The brand's brushes are equipped with synthetic bristles to which textures adhere automatically. They also feel pleasantly soft on the skin. The bristles of the Smoky Eye Liner Brush are cut into a conical shape, which gives you optimum control when applying eyeliner products. The brush also fits perfectly in the hand with its narrow handle.

Application tips for the Laura Mercier Smoky Eye Liner Brush

To ensure that pressed powders hold optimally in the bristles and you can achieve the best possible results, you should first press the bristles of the brush into the powder and then lightly onto the back of your hand. Then tap off any excess powder and apply it generously with light pressure and patting movements. Finally, blend the powder as desired. When applying eye make-up, you should hold the Eye Liner Brushes between your thumb and middle finger. The fingers should be approximately in the centre of the handle, slightly closer to the brush head. For more control, you can also use your index finger. To blend the powder, hold the brush loosely in your hand at the end of the handle.

Textures automatically adhere to the synthetic fibres of the brush. To achieve optimum results with pressed powders, first press the bristles into the powder and then lightly onto the back of your hand to work the texture into the brush. This way, it will find a better hold in the bristles and won't fall out so easily. After tapping off the excess powder, apply the powder generously with tapping movements and light pressure. Then blend as desired.
Hold the brush between your thumb and middle finger when applying make-up, approximately in the centre of the handle, but a little closer to the brush head. Use your index finger for additional control. To smudge and diffuse, grip the brush at the end of the handle and hold it loosely in your hand.
Clean your brushes with mild shampoo and a little water if necessary. Then rinse them thoroughly under clear water. If you are using Laura's Brush Cleanser, dip them in or spray on the cleanser and remove the make-up with a paper towel. Make sure you always pick up the products in the direction of the fibres and return the bristles to their original state last so that they retain their shape - never twist, spiral or wipe against a hard surface. Lay them flat to dry, do not stand them up, and transport them separately to protect them when travelling.
