If you’re lacking those supermodel style cheekbones like me, an angled blusher brush is one tool you need to add to your beauty arsenal.

But what’s wrong with my regular round blusher brush, you say? The biggest difference between a round brush and an angled one is that the angled brushes have been designed to give you more definition. A soft angled blusher brush like this one from rubybox tools works best when applying colour to a certain area, whereas a round blusher brush is best for bigger areas.

I have a separate round brush for my bronzer, which I apply along my cheekbones, eyelids and do a bit of contouring along my jaw line. However, when I’m looking for a pop of colour on the apples of my cheeks I swap brushes, smile in the mirror and use the rubybox tools Professional Classic Angled Blush Brush in an upward sweeping motion on the apples of my cheeks. I love that the slanted shape offers more precision and the softness of the brush makes it a pleasurable experience every time.

To get the best out of your brush, wash every two weeks with brush cleanser or baby shampoo and leave to dry over the side of the sink.
