See also setColor() and setStyle(). QBrush:: QBrush( Qt::GlobalColor color, Qt::BrushStyle style = Qt::SolidPattern) Heyo! It’s me, the gal who is about to convince ya that you need to invest in a new bronzer brush (like, as in now). First of all, I can guarantee that if you’re anything like me, your makeup brushes have seen better days (hate to say it, but it may be time to retire your faves from circa 2015). Second of all, different formulations of bronzer require different types of brushes (talking to you, cream bronzers). And third of all, the right type of makeup brush can literally revolutionize your freakin’ makeup game. YUP. I’m not kidding.

The brush color() defines the color of the fill pattern. The color can either be one of Qt's predefined colors, Qt::GlobalColor, or any other custom QColor. The currently set color can be retrieved and altered using the color() and setColor() functions, respectively. What’s happening is that the flow controls how the paint is laid down by the brush stroke. When it’s at 100% the brush stroke is applied at maximum strength immediately. But where it’s less than 100% it builds up gradually as you paint over the same area.When referencing foundation brushes, Reiko Brown has told Cosmo that the brush you choose depends on what type of coverage or intensity you’re going for—the same applies to bronzer brushes. The current brush color will only have an effect for monochrome pixmaps, i.e. for QPixmap::depth() == 1 ( QBitmaps). Even if you have the trendiest makeup in your collection, they won't produce the glorious results you're expecting without proper, high-quality tools. And who best to ask about the best makeup brushes on the market than professional makeup artists who spend their entire careers working most closely with an extensive lineup of the best brushes for the face, eyes, lips, and cheekbones? Angled, or flat brushes are perfect for those of you who apply eyebrow pomades, or tend to use eyeshadow as eyeliner. Flat and angled eye makeup brushes allow you to get the product right into the lash line, or to draw on precise brow-like hairs. Note that calling setColor() will not make a difference if the style is a gradient. The same is the case if the style is Qt::TexturePattern style unless the current texture is a QBitmap.

Multipurpose brushes are an underrated make-up essential: they save clutter, are great for travelling and can do it all. The ultimate one-and-done tool, Saie’s brush boasts luxuriously soft and well-tapered bristles – perfect for diffusing creams and powders onto the skin for a seamless, natural finish. How do I know if my make-up brushes are good quality? The brush style() defines the fill pattern using the Qt::BrushStyle enum. The default brush style is Qt::NoBrush (depending on how you construct a brush). This style tells the painter to not fill shapes. The standard style for filling is Qt::SolidPattern. The style can be set when the brush is created using the appropriate constructor, and in addition the setStyle() function provides means for altering the style once the brush is constructed. All brushes are not created equal. In fact, they are usually designed with very specific uses in mind, and it’s important to use brushes for their intended use. If you’re new to the makeup world and you’re not quite sure where to start, makeup artist Tamekia Geer of TamGee Artistry Studio recommends beginning with a foundation brush, powder brush, and a blush brush. A flat and a crease eyeshadow brush are also good tools to have on hand. You'll also want to consider what type of finish the brush is designed to provide, whether it's a natural or full, airbrushed effect. Concealer brushes can resemble a small powder brush or a small foundation brush. The aim of these is to get a seamless and precise blend without moving too much product away from the area you’re trying to conceal. Whichever style you choose, a light hand is best when blending concealer.

This brush has synthetic bristles, which Lujan prefers. In addition to being vegan-friendly, he explains that they're often more durable and hygienic. Our tester said the semi-short bristles are dense yet extremely soft. We also evaluated the design, including the handle, head shape, bristle material, density, and softness. We cleaned all the brushes as well to see how easily products came off. After awarding each brush a score from one to five for design, application, and ease of cleaning, we narrowed it down to our favorites. Eyeliner brushes are thin brushes that can be used to apply gel or liquid eyeliner. They’re thin enough to get close to the lash line and versatile enough to apply winged and graphic styles with relative ease. The brush style is set to the corresponding gradient style (either Qt::LinearGradientPattern, Qt::RadialGradientPattern or Qt::ConicalGradientPattern).

Eyebrow spoolies are an often overlooked essential that makes styling your brows and separating out clumpy mascara a thousand times easier. While you’ll sometimes find them in a complete makeup brush set, you can also buy spoolies super cheaply online, so this isn’t an essential part of a set.
