The Cosmetic Tool and Use (week 5)

Hello, readers! This week I would like to talk about the cosmetic tools and usage; after you understand the cosmetics products, this topic will be the next step that you have to know. As the old saying goes well, "One who wishes to be good at his work should sharpen his tools first." Thus, hoping this topic will really help you in the future.


Do you realize what they are and what they use for? Now, it is time to introduce them from left to right, so wish you guys can follow my words.


1) The high left one is the Powder Brush, and it uses for brushing the large area of body.

2) The low left one is the Powder Puff; it uses for putting the face powder on the face. Besides, the outside box is called Powder Box, which is used for keeping the few face powder that people can apply outdoors.

3) The two round head brushes beside the powder brush are Blush Brush, they are divided to the large one and small one (which are depended on the size of area you apply the blush).

4) The triangular head brush beside the blush brush is called Powder Brush, and it uses for brush off the extra face powder on the face (it means the triangular area on your cheek).

5) The high one which looks like metal scissors but it is called Eyelash Curler - which uses for making the eyelash curl - is always used with the mascara that your eyes can looks bigger and amazing.

6) The low square one is Sharpener, for sharpening the eyebrow pencil so that you can draw the eyebrows easily.

7) The low metal clip one is named Tweezers, and it is used for uprooting the eyebrows that you will have the stylish and pretty shape of eyebrows.

8) The pink one is Razor, and its usage is as same as the tweezers. Therefore, this one use by shaving the eyebrows, but not uprooting.

9) The brush beside the pink one is named Lip Brush, for applying the lipstick or lipgloss on your lips.

10) The black one beside lip brush is Foundation Stick, and this stick is always used for mixing the color of the concealer so that you can check the color is suitable to your face color or not.

11) The yellow puff (that is on the low right one) is Powder Puff - it uses when people apply the face powder.

12) The diamond-shaped one is called Sponge, for people can apply the powder foundation evenly on the face.

13) The Scissors (which is under the sponge one) uses for making the eyebrows and the false eyelash shorter by cutting.

14) The oblique head one (which beside the sponge) is Eyelash Brush, and it uses by applying the mascara on the eyelash and removing the extra mascara away from the eyelash.

15) The double-headed brush beside the eyelash brush is named Eyebrow Brush - it is for brushing the powder (which is from eyebrow pencil) evenly on the eyebrows and making them look naturally.

16) The one beside the eyebrow brush is Angle Brush; the upside makes people can apply the powder on the eyebrows, and the below on uses for applying the eye shadow on the eyelids.

17) The one has two sides (which has different round size heads) is Eyeshadow Applicator, so people can make the eye shadow with different size on the eyelids.

18) The one beside eyeshadow applicator is named Eyebrow Brush, for drawing the lines by eye liners and eyebrow pencil.

19) The one beside the eyebrow brush is called Lip Brush, and it uses for drawing the shape of your lips with the lipstick or lipgloss (its usage is the same as the No. 9).

20) The yellow brush, and the two blue brush (beside lip brush) are Eyeshadow Brushes; even though it has the same usage as No. 15, their size are different that you can use them depend on the area of your eyeshadow part.

21) The one beside eyeshadow brush is Powder Brush (it has the same usage as No. 1), for removing the extra powder on T-zon of the face (because of it is flat and fair brush).

22) The below one which has red head brush is Powder Brush (it has the same usage as No. 1), for removing the extra powder on the face.

23) The right one is called Blush Brush (it has the same usage as No. 3), for applying the blush on the cheek.



After knowing the tools and the usage on the above, I think you can recognize them after all. So why not just play a game, and make sure you can guess them by different pictures?



Question: What are they? And What are their usage?

Okay, time's up.


Can you figure out each of them now? If not, maybe you need to remember the introduction of tools, or you may make some mistakes when you make up yourself by the wrong tools in the future.


As the below picture, the following tools also play the important roles when you make up, such as the mirror (the thing you can watch yourself clearly), cotton swabs (the thing that can erase or wipe dirty from your face or something else), tissue (the thing that can remove the unnecessary things), artificial tears (the thing can make your eyes comfort if the dirty is in the eyes), and the cotton pads (the thing can be used for makeup and remover).




To sum up, I wish you can remember the previous articles so that the following weeks you can start to make up successfully with their features and my instruction. By the way, the method to make the tools clean is by washing with the cleanser such as shampoo and make it dry if it is brush; or if it is metal tools, you can clean or wipe them by using the alcohol which can sterilize the germs. Finally, thanks for yor attention.
