The Real Techniques Filtered Cheek Brush is recommended by Miranda for applying cream blush and other cream products. The brush features long and straight bristles that are designed to tap on product, picking it up only on the tips of the bristles. Miranda suggests patting the product into the skin for a thin and even layer that blends smoothly without tugging at foundation. While the brush is smaller than what Miranda is used to for cream blush, it offers precision for cream contour and highlight. Overall, the Filtered Cheek Brush provides a soft blend and allows for precise application, making it a versatile tool for achieving a smoothly blended and even look.
