What is this used for?
is designed for face painting super fine lines, outlines, tiny dots and details. If you struggle with cheekart designs that require a lot of tiny details like dolphin eyes, unicorn smiles, pony nostrils etc. this brush will make the job a lot easier for you! Elodie notes that this brush is a valuable ally for gaining confidence and consistency. It is also great if you love colorful brushes in your kit!
How do I use this correctly?
To use, get your brush wet, wipe the end of it against the edge of your water container to remove any access water. Carefully swipe your damp brush against your face paint cake until you create a creamy consistency. Make sure to form the crisp point of the brush as you load it. Once you have a nice load, you can paint on the face/body with smooth fine strokes. You can drag just the sharp point to paint lines and vines. Add water to just the tip or mist the brush to reload if the colors start to fade out, and reload into the cake.
To clean, If you are using a water activated face paint, wash brushes with hand soap or professional brush soap between uses. You can also use makeup removers like Jest Paint Brush and Body Wash, For silicone based paints use an oil based product to break down and wipe away face paint from this brush, or GTX Brush Cleaner. Allow brushes to fully dry before using again. For alcohol based paints use a product like Proaiir Brush Cleaner.
To store your paint brushes, make sure to keep them in a protective case when transporting them to your gigs. I suggest a brush wallet for an organized display on the job, and for safe storage. When you get home from a gig, wash your brushes as needed and let your brushes fully dry out before closing the wallet up for long term storage.
Tips: Hanging brushes upside down or at a downward angle is the best way to dry them out thoroughly and keep water from soaking into the ferrule, which can lead to cracking of the painted handle over time. Make sure not to leave your brushes in the paint water while working, this can bend the tips and also damage the handles.
What are the characteristics / dimensions of this ?
This is made of a wooden handle and nickel ferrule with synthetic golden Taklon bristles cut to form a Pointed shape wit a sharp tip. These crisp bristles are easy to clean, but staining may occur like with any face paint brush. The wooden handle comes with a custom pastel rainbow paint job that is coated to help prevent paint chipping. Each color on the handle is painted one at a time, making this a complex custom paint job that really pops!
These are the approximate measurements of the CLEAN OUTLINES brush: Hair length: 3/8 inches. Hair width at base: 1/16 of an inch. Total Brush length: 6 and 5/16 inches. The handle width/diameter is 1/4".
Some pro advice If you are looking for face paint brushes that are easy to clean, load and release paint evenly, and can keep their shape after a lot of use and washing, choosing a synthetic hair brush like Lodie Up is a great choice. Make sure to shape your brush before leaving to dry to keep the pointy domed shape.

Is this safe for using with cosmetics?
This is made of synthetic hypoallergenic materials that are considered non toxic and safe to use with acrylic and water based paints, including face paints and other forms of makeup. The bristles are soft and won't scratch the skin. Since the bristles are synthetic, they don't contain animal proteins which means that they have a lower risk of causing allergic reactions. They easily pick up, but don't hold on tightly to the product, which also makes them easier to use and to clean. This makes them a more sanitary choice. The metal ferrules are made of nickel.
What are the main materials in this ?

Golden Tacklon Bristles are soft, flexible tapered synthetic filaments with a good bounce. They easily load and release the paint when being used, which is great because you don't lose paint inside the brush head.
