Must-Have Bamboo Brushes This post goes out to all of our new friends, the lovely ladies who have recently joined the EM family and are looking for a few key tips of where to start and the products that we feel are the most essential to get you up and running! Specifically focusing on our beautiful assortment of Bamboo Brushes, we wanted to provided a helpful guide to the brushes that are the most essential to start with. Inspired by the brushes used by traditional Japanese kabuki performances in the 1600's, each and every one of our brushes is made from 100% renewable bamboo and luxurious synthetic bristles that are incredibly soft and effective in makeup application. Today, we've streamlined our collection of brushes and curated down the assortment to those that are undoubtedly the must-haves of the bunch! Starting with our numero-uno brush crush, the Blender Face Brush is one of the most fundamental brushes in our makeup routine. A brush that works beautifully for face powders, blush and bronzer, its bristles are not very dense and allow for application that is light and natural. Pretty much mistake-proof, this brush eliminates having any harsh lines or noticeable contrasts when applying blush and bronzer, like our current favorites All Smiles Blush and Poipular Shores Bronzer. All natural application, all the way! The Flat Top Brush is one of our favorites due to its extreme versatility - it's no one trick wonder. Expect flawless base application and gorgeous final touches using our finishing powders. We simply adore this brush because of its non-tapered top, which is perfectly smooth and delivers immaculate results when used with short "buffing" motions. Another must-have is the genius Long Handle Kabuki Brush. A brush that really took its inspiration from the pristine makeup application of Japanese kabuki performers, especially thanks to the longer handle which allows for added dexterity when using it! With rounded bristles that really cling to the minerals (tap off any extra before applying), one of the things that we most love about this brush is how it allows for great precision when applying pigments, and is great for layering. We all feel extra feminine when using this one, too - daydreaming that we're geishas in a time of true elegance! When it's time to dazzle with your eyes, look no further than the Double Perfect Eye Shadow / Eyeliner Brush. This lovely little two-in-one beauty is just so convenient! Save time and having to use multiple brushes with the double sided bristles, with one side perfect for applying shadows and the other ideal for liner. Easy, effortless and such a time-saver! Now it's easier than ever to make your makeup perfect, and these one-of-a-kind brushes are the best place to start! Xo, C
