hurrr
Please guys, this isn't an attentionwhore thread. I just want advice.

>>7445439
Does bristle give you electric hair, though?

mamma död usually mention pearson mason for being good quality
I think they have nylon and boar bristle blend or something

really expensive tho

>>7445443
Yeah I've heard so much about it being the holy grail of hair brushes.
Though I really can't afford it... Sadly.

Why is it so expensive though?

>>7445442
what the fuck is electric hair?

>>7445442
wut is electric hair

>>7445442

seriously shut the fuck up and go away

>this isn't an attentionwhore thread

/fa/ is probably 99:1 male to female ratio at best. and that's not an exaggeration. why don't you go somewhere you can actually get help? fuck off.

>>7445445
>>7445448
Oops sorry, directly translated from my native language.

"Static hair" is apparently the right phrase, yes?

>>7445454
If you've got tips on where that'd be, please do share.

>>7445456
no you shouldnt get electric hair lol
if you have really thick hair you might need a bristle/nylon blend though

dont cheap out on the brush, but dont go crazy expensive either. you want the brush to stay together, but the quality difference of bristles and shit is nil

>>7445459

well, when I think makeup/beauty/etc., I think youtube. there's probably a bunch of brush review videos. if not, I can guarantee googling will get you better responses than /fa/

>>7445454
/fa/ confirmed for worst board

>>7445478

srsly tho what are a bunch of dudes going to tell this bitch that google won't?

pull up the last couple WAYWTs. how many girls posted? okay, now how many dudes? and now tell me how coming to /fa/ is a smart idea for brush advice?

>Dear fellow grills of /fa/

they don't exist

>>7445472
this, is gross

>>7445505

get some sleep man

>>7445491
isnt the point of making a thread that you can ask followup questions and discuss, which you cant if just google some shit

also
>only girls have long hair
there is a lot of males on /fa/ with long hair.

actually looking for a new brush myself.

>>7445491
there's 2 grills out of 9 in the waywt which is pretty good considering the shit they get

>brushing ur hair
>2013

just let ur locks flow free - i dont do more than use a good shampoo and comb my fingers through my hair. my friends that do brush use mason pearson. i think bristles do make a difference

>>7445456
You from Finland or Estonia?

>>7445433

I have super long hair (like down past my butt) and I use one of those no tangle brushes from Sally's and it has never failed me.

I've tried a few boar bristle ones, they fucked my hair up pretty bad. I have scandinavian hair, if thats even a thing, kinda fine strands but grows thick in places. I figured boar bristle would be a gentle way to manage the thicker parts, but all it did was make it greasy and flat. took out quite a bit of hair in one combing too. To this day a wide-toothed comb or just clean fingers is the best way to manage it, but I like the bedhead look anyhow.

maybe it would work if you have super thick and easily tangled hair? or curls?

>>7445572
is your tumblr stupid something?

>>7445433
When it comes to actual tangles, I find nylon better because I have thick hair and boar bristles don't grip properly. I like brushing with an animal brush after detangling for shine and smoothing.

I have the Tangle Teezer by Tangle Angel and although it's juvenile-looking, it doesn't pull and it tackles tangles. I've heard good things about Sephora's in-house brushes. I like their boar detangler (my roommate has it), but right now I use a Bass brush that I bought on vacation.

>>7445582
I don't have tumblr

>>7445576
Oh yeah I've seen those.. and I have really long hair too so might be worth checking out!

Anyone here that can recommend those round brushes that supposedly should give you volume when blowing your hair?

>>7445594

only really works if you have some gunk in it before blow-drying, otherwise you just get a temporary poof. use it with a heat-activated leave-in conditioner with some hold and a heat protection spray.

>>7445572
pls b in gothenburg

>>7445583
I think boar bristle would b good for my hair then, very thick and wavey/slightly curly.

any recs on brands that isnt super duper expensive but still decent?

>>7445576
I've heard good stuff about these, might pick up one of those.


never knew there was such a science behind brushes haha.

cute girls pls do hair like this :)

>>7445437
>>>/b/

>>7445594
Honestly once you master the technique, any round brush will work. Choose one with a ceramic, perforated barrel and if possible, one infused with minerals, like the Moroccan oil or Drybar brushes (it sounds stupid, but they help the product move through your hair gently).

Experiment with shine cream, oils and anti-frizz products until you find what works for you. If you know someone with really great hair, ask them what they use

>>7445606
It's so hard because I don't know if things like Mason Pearson or the Shiseido eye curler are just hyped up and running on placebo effect or if shit like this truly makes a difference.

I mean... a eye lash curler. It's the same shit, is it not? What purely physically of the design of it could be so different? They all look the same

>>7445632
do you mean shu uemura? the shiseido curler is the same price as every other

>>7445648
No, I've heard a shitload of praise about the Shiseido too. Like 50/50 about shu uemura/shiseido.

But Shiseido is also expensive? At least where I live. Cost about $37 (in comparison to how you can buy one for like 4 bucks)

>>7445433

boar bristle is better on the hair, less damaging. i'm guessing you just mean like a round brush blowout type of thing?

>>7445631

i didn't know they had brushes infused with moroccan oil??? how well would you say they work?

>>7445632
>>7445661

the shiseido curler is ok. honestly it doesn't entirely matter as long as you can get all of your eyelashes curled, and it's not an incredibly cheap curler. what's more important is the length of time you hold down anyways. you may consider getting a small curler as well if you have a lot of lashes, or lashes that extend out more like i do so you can get them all easily.

>>7445661
That's weird. It's only $20 here which is like the same price as Sephora brand.

>>7445632

Ive used a curler 4/7 days a week for a few years now and lemme tell you there is a difference. some of the cheap ones are or can become loose and clumsy after a couple of uses, and the plastic pillow can get permanently dented or ineffective. the paint on them can crack and come off, and some have too narrow an opening to fit all the lashes in or too weak a curve to follow the contour of the eye and curl every lash evenly. others have too much of a curve and pinch your eyelid when you try to get it close enough to the eye.

best invest in one of some renown and change it every year or every other year. depending on how often you take it with you it can get fairly worn in time, especially if you just toss in in the bag with all the other stuff.

>>7445664
>round brush blowout
I don't know, I mean like a paddle brush, you know?

>>7445669
What does the Shu Uemura one cost over there?

>implying you need to be a grill to have brushable hair

Anyhow I have super thick, longish, and curly as fuck hair. I use a huge wide tooth comb when I get out of the shower (they're advertised as showercombs) and I also use this sumbitch. I like how weighty it is, and the grips are actually comfortable.

>>7445631

infusing a tool with oil seems like a dodgy idea. with ample supply of oxygen that tool would essentially have the same expiry date as the oil, which is relatively short, no? Even in closed containers with preservatives most oils have a shelf date of a year or so.

>>7445664
The Moroccan oil hairbrushes smooth and tame hair really well like you'd expect from a Moroccan Oil product. More importantly, they hold on to hair and distribute the product well. The one I tried has a ceramic core, so blow drying was quick. The result was a high-shine, fly-away-free, sleek style

>>7445671

ohh alright. boar bristle would be perfect then!

>>7445675

15~20$ at sephora, a lot of the time it's in their essentials list and on sale too.

>>7445696

wow! i might have to try that. i love the moroccanoil product line in general. their deep conditioning hair masks and simple oil in a bottle saved my hair. are they expensive?

>>7445693
you should replace your brush that often tbh

>>7445706
>tfw I never change hair brush, eye lash curler (including that plastic thingie), makeup brushes or razor

And I'm doing just fine, girls

>>7445704
>are they expensive
not if you get them at a beauty supply store or on Amazon. I've seen them for like $80 in the Nordstrom catalog

>>7445724
>not replacing your razor
enjoy your staph infection

you're probably one of those gross girls who wears the same contacts for months and months

>>7445730
>$80
>not expensive

>>7445736
>you're probably one of those gross girls who wears the same contacts for months and months
Sis you know it~~

>>7445730

that's not tooooo bad. will look up on amazon. thanks!

>>7445724

y-you should really change your razor, and clean your makeup brushes....

We need to have these girl2girl advice threads more often

I want advice on all type of shit, I'm so clueless

>>7445737
>>7445748
Oh, I should have said "Don't buy them from stores like Nordstrom because I saw them for up to $80, but rather at beauty supply stores and Amazon, where they go for $20-$30 typically

>>7445724
You must be this kind of girl. My soul weeps for your brushes. I hope they're quasi-cheap, because good brushes never deserve not to be washed.

Really though honey clean your makeup brushes, especially if you use liquid/gel/cream product. All you're doing is compromising the application and your face isn't going to look as good and the germs n shit are probably wrecking whatever effort you're putting into your skincare routine, if you have one.

I'd say the razor thing isn't as bad because they can be sterilized and sharpened, but if you can't handle cleaning your fucking brushes I doubt you can handle keeping your razor clean.

>>7445768
Well I only use a brush for blush, and then a sponge for powder (the one that came with the product). That's not so bad is it?

And with the razor I just rinse it with water. Isn't that all it takes?

>>7445781
>bragging about unsanitary practices
>trying to justify them

>uses a sponge for powder
we give up

>>7445792
But it's compact powder! Trust me, it's meant to be used with a spongey thing

>>7445802
What kind of powder still sells a sponge? Maybelline?

>>7445809
I-isadora

But I like it because I can "press" it toward my face, rather than swipe over it. Is it truly that bad?

>>7445781

>using sponge applicators
>Isn't that all it takes?

i fear for you.

>>7445809

i know MAC and maybelline does........what scares me is that she's probably using the same sponge...every..day......

>>7445781
No. The oils and germs from your face get onto the brush an accumulate, making it nasty. Same for the sponge, but worse.

Applying powder (what I assume is foundation) isn't advisable because you don't really get even coverage and it's easy to over apply and it almost always looks super cakey.

Rinsing your razor with just water is not all it takes. Have you ever done dishes? Ever try to just rinse the grease off with just water? Exactly, you can't.

>>7445819
yes. you're meant to blend not press onto your face.

>is it truly that bad

stop trying to justify your disgusting habits. if you really cared about your appearance you'd do your reseatch

>>7445836
Just never brought any problem for me.
I've never had acne or whatever

And you always clean your face before applying it too

>>7445819

I don't know if that's a sponge, I do have a really amazing foundation that uses a sponge, korean make up brands are god tier

pic related the etude house any cushion, my go to

>>7445819
I dunno, it sounds like you aim for simplicity and minimalism in your routine. I'm not saying ditch the powder because from what I can tell by reviews is that it's a decently good one, but save it just for when you're getting shiny.

You need a new powder brush for your powder, and to toss your blush brush and replace it with another or wash the shit out of it. I'd toss it though as the fibers prolly aren't too happy at this point.

As for replacing your powder in your routine, it seems like that it was really light coverage, so I'd recommend a BB cream. It'll even you out more, look more like your skin, and throw some skincare in there for extra measure.

A couple that I like are Maybelline's Dream Fresh and the one from Too Faced. You can apply it with your hands, a foundation brush or sponge. Surf reviews online and sample different ones to find one that'll work for your skin, be it oily, dry, whatever.

If you're going the sponge route, get a beauty blender and clean it regularly, or those cheap sponge wedges and toss them after each use (they're literally 2 bux for 100, they're meant to be tossed).

If you're going the brush route for the BB cream use either a dedicated foundation brush or a kabuki. Clean it often.

Trust me baby it makes a huge difference.

>tl;dr get bb cream, get two powder brushes, one for blush and one for powder foundation to keep your face un-shiny, clean your tools

>>7445869
>tfw im a little on the darker side and there's no way to test out shades so im perpetually scared of buying etude's complexion products

fuck man, i'll never be happy.

>>7445886
Yeah, I'm definitely aiming for simplicity and minimalism. That's priority 1.

I don't know about the BB cream... I know how you may think the powder gets cakey but I really don't think it does. It's compact powder, a little creamy on it's own. And I apply it right after I moisturize so it kind of sinks in.
And I get shiny, so I need powder anyways.

IDK man, might not my current way work out pretty well considering that?
Not trying to be stubborn, just genuinely wondering (I'm very grateful for advice)

isnt makeup really bad for your skin? isnt it easier to take care of it instead using makeup?

>>7445926
Generally it isn't so long as there aren't any irritants and things you're sensitive to in the product. Also, quality. Putting counterfeit shit bought off of eBay day in and day out on your face is never bueno. Skincare and makeup go hand in hand, skincare being the most important. If you slather on foundation over your open sores, we can still tell you have open sores.

>>7445920
Nah it's all good, I understand. At the end of the day, at least I hope, your makeup is for you and no one else.

If your products are working for you, go ahead and keep doing what you are doing. It's about what you like, not what I or anyone else on this board likes.

It's just sometimes there are better ways to go about things that can work better for you in the long run and achieve the same, if not better results visually.

But you've got to clean your tools, that has got to change no matter what.

autism speaks

>>7445433
it really depends on hair type. I have an insane body of curls, so I generally tend to do for wooden wide-toothed combs. Brushing isn't that good for you hair. Boar bristles don't have as much 'grip' but that's better for your hair in the long run. Contrary to popular opinion, less friction/grip is better, as too much brushing is damaging.

>>7445491

Intriguing.

Mason Pearson never cut it for me, just made my fine hair feel greasy, flat and static. Might be good if you have thick hair though. I use a round brush to get tangles out while I condition, then air dry and leave it alone

not gay or anything but im trying to step up my foundation game.

Mason Pearson do work wonder, especially on people with straight/wavy hair. The smaller portable sizes aren't nearly as pricey as the super big one I use.

id really recommend you invest in one

ill try to think of cheaper brands so check back here later

I'd appreciate it!

>>7450407

grab a mac studio fix in your skin tone + a thick goat buffer brush, should last you long enough if you're a dude with a wonky complexion

>>7450527
how to make it look like i dont actually have make up on though?
i dont have dark spots or any acne at all but i do have shitty pasty yellow olive skin.
my mom once put some on me and it looked glitter-y and just not good.

>>7450527
what the fuck is skin undertone and why is it important?
am i meant to choose the shit based on the color of the flesh on my face or the flesh on my wrist? because those are completely fucking different.
there are 50+ articles and none of them give me an answer.

thanks gurl

>>7450531
"push" some powdert into your face, then wipe off the ecxesswith the same brush

>>7450541
You should be choosing your shit based on the color of your face. Honestly just walk up to a counter, mac, bobbi brown, whatever, and ask to be matched. If whoever's there is any kind of competent they'll be able to find you your best match, undertone and all, and show you what foundation formula suits you best for what you want.

>>7450643

>>7445454
fucking lold. I love how we scare away females, I don't think we should, or maybe we should, yeah we should.
Unless the grills are pretty.

I've had most success with this Goody Hairbrush. No pain, brushes out tangles really well, hair is nice and smooth.

>>7451707
If I do an event where my hair is styled and I gotta brush out mountains of Hairspray and straighten teased hair I use a thick boar bristle brush.
