NARS Smudge Brush - NARS - 194251009407

The primary use is to expertly smudge and soften pencil eyeliners, kohls, and eyeshadows to create blended transitions and smoky effects.

While it can be used to pack color onto the lid for a smoky look, its design is best suited for smudging and blending edges rather than precise lid application of all shadow types.

Gently wash the bristles with a mild brush cleanser or soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles. Lay flat or hang bristles-down to air dry.

It is a professional tool. Beginners may need some practice to master its blending capabilities, but it can be very forgiving for softening harsh lines.

This brush is designed for pencil, kohl, and powder formulas. It is not intended for use with liquid eyeliner.

The dense, short bristles allow for controlled pressure and movement, enabling the brush to pick up and diffuse product effectively without creating harsh lines.

For optimal performance and hygiene, it's recommended to clean your smudge brush after each use or whenever you switch between different makeup products.

Ensure the brush has been thoroughly cleaned and conditioned. Product buildup can cause stiffness. Allow it to air dry completely after cleaning.

Ensure the product being applied is suitable for smudging. Clean the brush thoroughly, as old product residue can hinder blending. Use gentle buffing motions.

Avoid harsh washing. Reshape the bristles while damp and allow to air dry lying flat. Never store brushes upright with bristles facing down while wet.
