A fan of the FAN brush!!


To be perfectly honest with you, I never really used a fan brush for blush or bronzing though this was its main purpose and intention, I believe. Do you?

Instead, I was getting dolled up by another makeup artist not too long ago and she did something where I nearly hit myself in the head and said, "DUH! Why didn't I think of that?"

Don't you hate how often times you apply eyeshadow and the bits of it will fall below your eyes and land at the top of your cheeks? I HATE that! Sure, you can dust some powder over the area or just clean and apply concealer afterwards (who has time for that?), but this is by far the best trick I've found... its also the cleanest and fastest! However, I must warn you that it takes a lot of coordination and practice.


  • Take the brush and place it right below your eye, softly over the top of your cheek where the end of the bristle is nearly touching your lower lash line
  • While holding the fan brush in place, take your usual eyeshadow brush and apply your eyeshadow how you normally do so
  • After you are complete, move the fan brush away and VOILA!!
  • If there is a LITTLE bit of eyeshadow dust (which I doubt would be as much as if you're using eyeshadow without the fan brush, if any at all), just simply, lightly brush it away with the fan brush

I love this method because I hate going back to clean up the rest of my makeup after I am complete and I most definitely hate piling on more concealer or powder than I have to. Besides, I am a procrastinator and usually don't have the time to redo or reapply.

Let me know if this method works for you! I look forward to hearing from you!
