What is an Artis Brush?

Artis Brushes are an ergonomically-designed evolution of what a makeup brush should be. The Artis Brush combines sleek modern design with practical ergonomics to produce a brush that is simple and easy to use.

The Artis Brushes may look futuristic, but they really are simpler to use than your current traditional makeup brush. The first tip is for you to let go of many of the “techniques” you current use with a brush, and instead embrace a more natural feel and movement with the Artis Brushes. Here are some tips on how to use Artis brushes to get better results.

ARTIS BRUSH METHOD

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS

“Hold the handle between your thumb and fingers.”

Each Artis brush has a non-slip pad that helps you hold the brush handle between your thumb and fingers for maximum control.

“A little goes a long way.”

Artis brushes are so efficient, you don’t need to pick up as much product as you may be used to. Start with picking up just a little product on your Artis brush, and you’ll be surprised at how far it goes on the skin.

“Float, don’t grind.”  & “Glide, don’t bounce.”

Artis brushes are designed so well, you only have to place the brush on the area you want to cover and then gently glide it back and forth until you get the coverage and blend you desire.

“Pick a size brush that generally matches the size of the area you want to cover.”

Each Artis brush is shaped to match certain shapes of the face structure. If you want to apply eye shadow to the entire lid area, pick a brush size that will apply product quickly and easily to that area.

“Place, pull glide, push glide, shimmy.” & “Move the fibre tips across the area with continuous strokes without picking up the brush from the skin.”

Unlike conventional brushes, you don’t have to keep placing the brush against the skin, then lifting up and then placing it again, etc..

Artis brushes just need to be placed and then moved around the area you want to cover in one continuous stroke without the need to lift off the skin multiple times. This makes using the Artis brushes very efficient. Every stroke applies and blends in one fluid movement.
