Laura Mercier Smudge Brush

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: 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're balancing the brush.

HAND POSITION: 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.
