Laura Mercier Finishing Brush

With its short bristles, the Laura Mercier Finishing Brush is perfect for blending colour precisely to achieve a professional finish. Create texture and build layers by buffing away at uneven areas of colour. Because the base bristles are shorter, they keep loose powder before slowly transferring it to the longer bristles and onto the skin, resulting in delicate controlled application. Use the brush to add shimmer and sheer colour to your face and neck, maintaining a smooth, flawless complexion.

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 brush onto back of hand to work the powder into the brush. This will ensure powder is loaded into bristles and minimize fallout. Gently tap brush once on back of hand to shake off any excess product. Tap and press loaded bristle all over area first. After product has been placed, then blend.

Hand position (precise 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’re balancing the brush.

Hand position (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.
