Product pick up and lay down: Crème will naturally adhere to synthetic fibers. For best results using any type of pressed powder, press bristles into powder to pick-up the powder. Next, press the brush onto the back of the hand to work the powder into the brush. This will ensure powder is loaded into bristles and minimise fallout. Gently tap the brush once on the back of your hand to shake off any excess product. Tap and press loaded bristle all over area first. After the product has been placed, then blend. Hand position: For Precise and Detailed Application - Hold brush at the center of handle or closer to the ferrule. Pinch brush handle between thumb and middle finger. For added control, also use pointer finger with a light touch on handle, this will act more as a “guide” during application. It should feel like you are balancing the brush. To Blend and Diffuse - Hold brush with a loose grip, close to the end of handle and lightly pinch between thumb, pointer, and middle finger. This will provide the most “painterly” result.
