Beauty Creations Brushes: Which to Choose and How to Use Them

When we think of Beauty Creations, colorful palettes and pretty blushes usually come to mind. But the brand also has a full line of brushes and tools that make those products look so much better. A good brush completely changes how a blush blends or how an eyeshadow looks.

In this guide we cover the Beauty Creations brushes we carry at BeautyRosee, what each one is for and how to build your kit around your routine.

Brush sets: the easiest way to start

If you are building your kit from scratch, a set is the most practical option. Beauty Creations has two makeup brush sets:

• Hey Honey
• Hot Girl

Both bring several brushes together in one product, so you have options for face and eyes without buying them one by one. They also make a great gift.

Face brushes

Large vegan powder brush

Ideal for applying loose or pressed powder all over the face. Its size covers large areas quickly and leaves an even finish.

Pretty Pressed precision powder brush

Perfect for setting specific areas like under the eyes, around the nose or the T-zone. It pairs beautifully with the brand's Pretty Pressed setting powder.

Vegan blush brush

Diffuses color softly. Use it with powder blushes like the Hush Powder Blush, the Marble Mineral Blush or the Plush Blush.

Vegan contour brush and bronzer brush

The contour brush is more precise, for sculpting under the cheekbone. The Perfecting Bronzer Brush is wider, for adding warmth to the forehead, cheeks and neck.

Concealer brush

A small, dense brush for applying and blending concealer on specific spots.

Eye brushes

• Soft-tip shadow brush: for packing color onto the lid.
• Precision blending brush: for softening edges and working the crease.
• Small detail brush: for details, the lower lash line or the inner corner.

With these three you can do anything from a natural look to a smoky eye. Try them with the 9-Shade Pigmented Eyeshadow Palette, the Plush Palette or the special-edition SpongeBob Bikini Bottom palette.

Brow brushes and tools

The brow brush applies powder or pomade and grooms the hairs. Pair it with the Duet (2-in-1 powder and pomade) or the 911 Essentials Kit. Learn more in our guide to Beauty Creations brows and lashes.

Blending sponge

The Blending Sponge is the go-to tool for foundation, concealer and cream products like the Contour Stick in Tawny or the Liquid Blush. Dampen it, squeeze it out well and apply with a tapping motion. For more details, read how to use a makeup sponge.

Which brushes do you need for your routine?

• Minimal routine: powder brush, blush brush and sponge.
• Routine with contour: add a contour or bronzer brush.
• Eyeshadow lover: soft-tip, blending and small detail brushes.
• Complete kit: a Hey Honey or Hot Girl set plus the sponge.

How to care for your brushes

1. Wash face brushes once a week and the sponge after every use or every few uses.
2. Use lukewarm water and a gentle soap.
3. Massage the bristles without soaking the area where they meet the handle.
4. Rinse, squeeze out excess water and let them dry lying flat or bristles down.

Clean brushes apply product better and last longer. To learn about every type, see our guide to makeup brush types.

Frequently asked questions

Are Beauty Creations brushes vegan?

Several of the brushes we carry are labeled vegan in their names, like the powder, blush and contour brushes. Check each product description.

Should I buy a set or individual brushes?

A set is practical if you are starting from scratch. If you already own a few, fill in the gaps with individual brushes.

What is the difference between the contour brush and the bronzer brush?

The contour brush is more precise for sculpting shadows; the bronzer brush is wider for adding warmth over larger areas.

How often should I wash the sponge?

Ideally after every use or, at minimum, several times a week.
