A smooth, blended complexion is the foundation of any NYE look especially when you’re adding contour, shimmer, and long-wear products.
Must-have face brush picks:
- Pantherine Pro B27 Brush - Perfect for pressing foundation into the skin without streaks, this brush helps create a photo-ready base.
- Pantherine Pro D17 Brush - A softer option for a lighter, airbrushed finish. Ideal if you’re using liquid or cream products.
- Katie Jane Hughes Number 4 Brush - A pro-inspired option on sale right now, great for blending foundation with precision and control.
Tip: Blend foundation first with a dense brush, then diffuse edges with a fluffy finish brush to avoid harsh lines.
2. Sculpt, Bronze & Highlight Like a Pro
Adding dimension helps your features stand out in photos and party lighting. These brushes help you blend powder, bronzer, and shimmer without looking overdone.
