Designed to pick up glittery and highly pigmented formulas and then deposit them on the eyelid by pressing the brush. Can be used dry or wet, with cream or powder formulas. To clean your NARS brushes, apply a small amount of mild soap (or your favorite brush cleaner) to the brush, lather, and then rinse. Avoid getting the brush handle wet. Gently reshape the bristles once the brush is rinsed.
