AIN #M112 Tapered Crease Blending Brush

AIN Series – This is AINOCHI’s flagship series. Designed specifically for professional makeup artists, our AIN collection features a traditional retro style that is understated and luxurious.

We pride ourselves on selecting only the best materials. Our goat hair is particularly soft and good at catching powder, while gray squirrel hair is as soft as warm water and good at blending powder into one. Our imported ebony has a natural texture, is antibacterial and insect-proof, and exudes a pleasant woody fragrance. Nickel plated brass ferrules are clear coated and engineered.
We believe this collection is a true work of art and the perfect gift for the esteemed beauty lover.

• Goat hair (pre-fine) + microfiber wool with rich natural hair cuticles and natural hair peaks for superior product pick-up and placement
• Durable and corrosion-resistant thickened nickel-plated brass
• The makeup brushes are handmade, with plenty of bristles and a shape that fits the skin perfectly.
• Raw ebony with hot-stamped silver embossed AINOCHI logo
• Glue is individually injected into the inverted brush head, and meticulous craftsmanship ensures a strong, airtight bond, improving quality and longevity.
• 100% animal cruelty free, strictly collected from animal by-products.

Use with: Powders

- Prep Your Eyelids: Begin with clean and primed eyelids. Apply your base eyeshadow or eyeshadow primer to create a smooth canvas for makeup.

- Load the Brush: Dip the Tapered Crease Blending Brush into your chosen eyeshadow color. Ensure the brush is coated evenly but not overloaded with product. Tap off any excess to prevent fallout.

- Blend in the Crease: Use the brush to apply the eyeshadow to the crease of your eyelid with gentle, windshield wiper motions. The tapered shape of the brush allows for precise control, making it easy to create depth and blend colors seamlessly. Start with a light hand and build up the intensity gradually.

- Softly Diffuse and Blend: After applying the initial eyeshadow, use the same brush to softly diffuse and blend the product in the crease. Use small, circular motions to achieve a well-blended and gradient effect between eyeshadow colors.

- Assess and Adjust: Step back and assess the eyeshadow application in different lighting to ensure the desired effect. Make any necessary adjustments by adding more eyeshadow or blending further to perfect your eye makeup look.

How to clean your pro natural series:

- Bristles can trap oil, excess product, debris, and bacteria, ultimately leading to unnecessary breakouts and skin irritation. Cleaning your brush will extend the life of the bristles and help apply and blend makeup better.

- For simple daily cleaning, you can wipe it gently with a dry cleaning sponge (included when ordering), and most of the attached powder will fall off with the vibration.

- For deep cleaning at least once a month, use baby soapy water or professional detergent (complimentary).  Use a brush or your hands to gently squeeze and rub in a clockwise direction. Then blot dry with a clean towel or soft paper towel, cover the brush with a mesh (usually used for larger makeup brushes), turn it upside down (bristle side down) and let it air dry in a cool place.

- After your hair dries naturally, some fluffy bristles may appear. This is a normal phenomenon and can be restored to its original state after simple adjustments.
