Why the F23 Soft Angle Contour Brush Stands Out

The F23 Soft Angle Contour Brush features densely packed, synthetic bristles cut at a precise angle. This design allows you to place product exactly where you need it—under the cheekbones, along the jawline, or on the sides of the nose. The soft bristles ensure that the product blends out effortlessly without harsh lines, giving you a natural shadow effect.

Unlike traditional contour brushes that are too fluffy or too stiff, the F23 strikes the perfect balance. It works well with both powder and cream contour products. Its compact size also makes it ideal for detailed work, such as contouring the nose or defining the cupid's bow.

• Angle shape fits the hollows of the cheeks perfectly.
• Soft bristles prevent streaky application.
• Versatile for powder, cream, and liquid formulas.

Step-by-Step Contouring with the F23

Start with a clean, moisturized face and apply your foundation and concealer as usual. For contouring, choose a contour shade that is 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone. A matte bronzer or contour powder works best. Dip the F23 brush lightly into the product and tap off any excess.

To contour your cheekbones, suck in your cheeks to find the hollows. Using the angled side of the brush, sweep the product along the hollow in a back-and-forth motion. Blend upwards toward the hairline for a lifted effect. For the jawline, trace the brush along the bone from ear to chin. For the nose, use the tip of the brush to draw thin lines on the sides of your nose and blend with the soft bristles.

• Always tap off excess product to avoid harsh lines.
• Blend in small, circular motions for a seamless finish.
• Use the flat side of the brush for broader areas and the tip for precision.

Pro Tips for Flawless Results

For a more defined look, layer your contour. Start with a cream contour and set it with a powder contour using the same F23 brush. This technique ensures longevity and intensifies the shadow effect. If you make a mistake, use a clean blending brush like the E38 Diffused CreaseTM Brush to soften any edges.

Pair your contour with a highlighter for contrast. After contouring, apply a highlighter to the high points of your face using the Pressed Powder Highlighter. The combination of the F23's precise contour and a luminous highlight creates a balanced, sculpted appearance.

• Use a light hand and build up intensity gradually.
• Clean your F23 brush weekly to maintain performance and hygiene.
• Experiment with different angles to find what suits your face shape best.
