Next in the series are the lip brushes. These brushes are very versatile, you can use them for applying lipstick, lip gloss, lip stain, tinted lip balms and creamy lip liners. They are good brushes for a full, medium, and sheer application, they help make it easy to create an even color and precise lining if needed.

Application Tips:
- smaller brushes are good for creating a precise lining of the lips or blending the edges of the lip liner
- larger sized brushes are good for all over application on the lip and for blending the lip liner into your lip color
- shorter bristles provide a full coverage and precise application
- longer bristles provide a more liberal and sheerer coverage and a softer application
- round tipped brushes are good for a soft application of lip color, they tend to blend while applying the color
- square tipped brushes are good for a sharp or edgy application of lip color, they tend to pack on the color for a more concentrated look
- angled brushes are good for creating shape and getting into the corners of the mouth for a full coverage look

Brushes I recommend:
MAC 316 Lip Brush
Crown B9 Oval Lip
E.L.F. Studio Small Angled Brush #84010
E.L.F. Essentials Lip Defining Brush #1806

What I Personally Use These Brushes For:
- I apply thin layers of lip stick onto my lips, blend it in, apply another thin layer, blend it in and by this time it's a full coverage and opaque
- I use them to apply lip gloss on top of a matte lip color so that the wand of the lip gloss does not pick up color from my lips and change the gloss color in the tube
- I use them to apply lip products from sponge tipped tubes, I usually don't like to reuse the sponge tips for hygienic purposes
- I use a mini lip brush to apply lip balms that come in little jars, I don't like the idea of putting your fingers in the jars unless you sanitize your fingers before using
- I use them to apply all lip products to clients for hygienic purposes
