Laura Mercier Brushes

Precision and control are at the centre of the design of the Laura Mercier Smudge Brush. The compact brush head is made up of short, synthetic bristles that form a gently rounded tip and therefore have a high density. This specific shape makes it possible to apply eyeshadow or eyeliner directly to the lash line and then blend it professionally. The tool is also suitable for creating targeted accents in the inner or outer corners of the eye and for creating optical depth. A long, slender handle in elegant black, decorated with the brand's white lettering, lies balanced in the hand and facilitates fine guidance. The hard-wearing fibres are particularly useful for creating soft transitions or a classic smoky eye look, as they can effectively soften hard lines. The synthetic material reliably absorbs both powder and creamy textures and releases them evenly onto the skin. Regular cleaning with a mild shampoo and warm water is recommended for care. The accessory should then be gently returned to its original shape and left to air dry flat to preserve the quality and arrangement of the bristles in the long term.

Textures automatically adhere to the synthetic fibres of the brush. To achieve optimum results with pressed powders, first press the bristles into the powder and then lightly onto the back of your hand to work the texture into the brush. This way, it will find a better hold in the bristles and won't fall out so easily. After tapping off the excess powder, apply the powder generously with tapping movements and light pressure. Then blend as desired.
Hold the brush between your thumb and middle finger when applying make-up, approximately in the centre of the handle, but a little closer to the brush head. Use your index finger for additional control. To smudge and diffuse, grip the brush at the end of the handle and hold it loosely in your hand.
Clean your brushes with mild shampoo and a little water if necessary. Then rinse them thoroughly under clear water. If you are using Laura's Brush Cleanser, dip them in or spray on the cleanser and remove the make-up with a paper towel. Make sure you always pick up the products in the direction of the fibres and return the bristles to their original state last so that they retain their shape - never twist, spiral or wipe against a hard surface. Lay them flat to dry, do not stand them up, and transport them separately to protect them when travelling.
