The Best Blush Brush: Angled! By Laurel1 on Dec 06, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

Applying blush should be simple, but some people fail miserably. You know who you are, and I have the tool that will make you a pro.

The Angled Blush Brush, by Bare Escentuals, is not only the perfect brush for applying powder blush, but also for using a bronzer. Three things add up to one great tool. The angled shape (along with its size) allows you to put color exactly where you want it to go. The bristles, like those of all Bare Escentuals brushes, are great: dense and high quality, easy-to-clean brush hairs. Finally, the handle. It is a small size, and is ergonomically designed to fit your hand, for ease of use.

This brush, thanks to the angled shape, also allows you to contour your face, using lighter and darker colors. You can emphasize cheekbones and the chin line to make your face look thinner or fuller. With most products, Bare Escentuals includes a colored instruction sheet, which should have you looking your best in minutes. If I could rate this higher than a 5, I would!
