Of all hundreds of items to choose from at a cosmetics store, the brush section may be the most difficult to navigate. The sheer number of brushes that look exactly the same is overwhelming, so it’s easy to understand why you might just give up and use the brushes that came with your makeup.
化妝店的東西數(shù)以百計，而其中最難挑選莫過于化妝刷。那些刷子看那么多，而且看起來也沒什么區(qū)別，實在是讓人大腦超載，于是這也就不難理解，為什么許多人放棄挑選，直接用化妝品里面附贈的刷子。

In fact, you only need 5 of them:
而實際上，你只需要其中5樣：

1. A?fluffy?brush for both blush and powder.?
圓頭蓬松刷子，既是腮紅刷也是散粉刷。

You can also use this brush for bronzer. The reason Bauce favors a fluffy brush is for its ability to diffuse the product more evenly over your face. “If you have a shorter, denser brush, you’re going to get a bigger deposit of color. If you have a fluffier brush it’s going to diffuse ― most people want a natural application,” she said.
你同樣可以把它用作側(cè)影刷。Bauce 鐘情于這款刷子的原因是它的暈染功能特別好，使你所用的產(chǎn)品可以均勻的鋪在整張臉上?！叭绻阌玫氖撬⒚^短、較密的刷子，臉上的就會有一大塊不和諧的色塊。如果你用更加蓬松的刷子，它就會暈染開，大部分人都喜歡比較自然的妝容?！盉auce說道。

2. A flat nylon brush to apply concealer.?
扁平尼龍刷用于刷遮瑕霜。

A dense, flat brush is perfect for depositing more color in the crease of your eye, also making it perfect for dabbing and blending concealer beneath your eye. Bonus tip: If you want even more color, get this brush a little bit wet before use.
扁平密刷能夠很好地在你眼睛皺紋處進行著色，同樣的也便于在眼睛下方涂遮瑕霜。福利貼：如果你想要一次性多上點顏色，可以略微沾濕刷毛后使用。

3. A fluffy eyeshadow brush for all over eyeshadow and powder.?蓬松的眼影刷，用于所有眼影和粉餅。

"If you like to do one wash of a neutral color over your whole eye, this is a great brush," Bauce said, adding, "you can also use it as a highlight brush, or to set the powder under your eye and around your nose -- the small, creased areas of your face." Just be sure to wash your brush between uses if you’re multitasking with it.
“如果你想要眼睛都上一種顏色的眼影，那這種刷子是一個非常不錯的選擇，”Bauce 說，“同時你還可以把它當成高光刷來使用，或者用于眼睛下面和鼻子周圍進行補粉——這些都是臉上又小又容易有皺紋的地方。”不過要確保，你在用于不同的部位之前要把刷子清洗干凈。

4. A crease brush.?
皺紋刷。

This one, Bauce said, does all the work for you, creating a totally blended and natural eye look. "Dip it into whatever color you want in the crease of your eye, right at the socket, and starting at the outside corner drag across in a windshield wiper motion," she said. This type of brush deposits a little bit of product at a time, making it look super blended.
Bauce說這款刷子幾乎能包攬一切功能，打造均勻自然的眼部妝容，選擇你想要的顏色，在眼窩處，從外部往里刷，就像雨刮器那樣。這種刷子每次只需要使用一點眼影，整個效果看起來非常融合。

5. An angled brush.?
彎刷。

Arguably the MVB (most valuable brush), an angled brush serves not one, not two but three purposes. Use this one for eyebrow products, applying eyeliner and even as a lip brush. "The angle on it makes it interesting for you to draw the cupid’s bow on your lip," Bauce said.
毫無疑問的“最有價值的刷子”，彎刷不光只有一個功能，也不只兩個功能，它總共有3個功能。可以用與眉部的妝容，眼線甚至是唇刷。Bauce 打趣道，“只要你愿意有了它你甚至可以在你的嘴唇上畫一個丘比特的弓?！?/span>

And what about once you’ve used these brushes and need to wash them? Bauce explains synthetic brushes are better for that than natural fiber brushes, too. They tend to last longer, dry faster after being cleaned and are also easier to get clean ― something Bauce suggests you do once a week.
如果使用了化妝刷，要如何清洗它們呢？Bauce 解釋道，人造刷子比自然纖維的化妝刷更好，因為它們使用的時間更長，更容易干和清潔，建議一周清洗一次。
