Hello, everyone!

I love looking at brush sets. A lot of them come with a fan brush. What do you guys use fan brushes for? Or do you even use them at all?

They are excellent for a really diffuse application of blush, bronzer or highlight across the cheeks & high planes.

I am an Esthetician and we used them to put on Masks, peels and what not. I do not use them for makeup application but I think I might now that I see what else a fan brush can be used for from this thread Lol.

I only use mine for fallout removal, but they're good for subtle highlights :)

I found another use, applying a little bit of glitter/colour when you don't want too much, it's how I did my mermaid look which is uploading now. www.youtube.com/user/mirandabone the colour looks really blended out.

Oh fallout! Thank you for the additional ideas on the fan brush. I'm gonna see if it works for fallout because I get a lot of fallout. =(

The best way to get rid of fall out is usually to drag it across verrrrrry lightly, if you press too hard it creates little fallout streaks. The other trick is a baby wipe just passed lightly across the skin.

I've never done my eye makeup first before. I'm afraid of missing spots when putting on my powder foundation lol, or messing up my makeup with my big powder or kabuki brush.
