When you want soft, blended color, you need to choose a brush with natural hair. Natural bristle brushes are best for powdered shadows and mineral foundations. The more tapered the bristles are, the more the brush will help you blend as you apply the color.
When you want to apply strong color,or are using a liquid or cream makeup, synthetic bristle brushes are the best. I use a synthetic brush for powdered eyeliner,concealer, and brow wax. A good tip for using your mineral foundation to conceal, is to apply it with a synthetic concealer or foundation brush. The product is more concentrated when it is applied to the skin, and will cover better.
