Powder Brush Guide: How to Choose a Brush for Setting and Finishing

Powder brushes are easiest to choose by where you apply powder and how concentrated you want the placement to be.

Broad setting and finishing

A larger dome spreads powder across a wider area. The AURA DOME POWDER BRUSH has an oversized round dome intended for setting and finishing powder.

Portable touch-ups

For a brush that travels inside a makeup bag, the ÉCLIPSE RETRACTABLE POWDER BRUSH stores its synthetic bristles inside a protective retractable case.

Use less product first

Load lightly, remove obvious excess and build only where needed. Brush size, pressure and placement matter more than broad marketing labels.
