It is truly an honor to be asked to select a “second” bundle for OMNIA® Pro Brushes!” The hardest part is selecting only a few, so I decided I really wanted to compliment my first bundle and really get in and choose my favorite detail and perfecting brushes. For me, when I am creating a bridal look, I need very small brushes, my bride’s canvas is small, and I want to get into every space I can. Not only is this the perfect set for me to use on my brides, but this is a great set for your clients. My clients are always asking me what kind of brushes and brush sets they should use…this would be perfect; they are small enough and don’t pick up too much product and help to keep a natural look for them.
“First, I want to start with the NEW! Fan Mascara Brush. OBSESSED! Photos can be deceiving - this fan brush looks thicker than it is. In reality, it is super thin and flexible. It holds the right amount of mascara to really get in underneath, above, and in between all the lashes so they don’t clump. (I personally keep two in every kit ~ 1 to add mascara before the lashes and a clean one for the final coat at the very end.)”
“You must try this brush! I call it the baby fingertip brush. This little brush is a powerhouse! It is super small but on one side it is flat like your fingertip. I also keep two of these brushes in my kit. I first use it to really get in underneath the eye to make sure there is no creasing. I will spray a little Skindinavia setting spray on it and smooth everything out perfectly. I will also use it around the hairline to make sure to get as close and smooth as I can, especially with my platinum blondes and gray hair clients. This brush is also great for contouring the nose.”
“An Eyeshadow Lid Brush is a must. This brush picks up just the perfect amount of eyeshadow for the lid. When creating my eyes, I like to do a lot of thin, fine layers to create a look that is going to last.”
“This isn’t like any other crease brush! This brush is also super thin and fine and only picks up a small amount of product. I start right at the outer edge and really get up into that crease and create some fantastic depth and dimension with this brush. *This brush is currently exclusively available in the Tami Bernard - Bridal Detail 9pc Bundle, Blending, and Deluxe Blending Sets!”
“Every artist needs a good blending brush. This is another brush I always have at least two or three of in each kit. This is a great size brush to blend your eyeshadow- getting rid of any harsh lines. I will also use this brush after I conceal the eyelid to give it a super smooth finish. Then I always finish off using this brush with highlighter on the cheeks; it’s the perfect size so I can make sure it doesn’t add too much, just the perfect amount.”
“Oh, so tiny! It's perfect for details! This brush is fantastic to do a nice thin eyeliner, winged liner, and get into the corner of the eye to give a sharp line. I will also use this brush, especially with my mature clients, under the eyes to get into any lines that may be holding onto too much product.”
“Talk about a jack-of-all-trades! Let me tell you all the ways I use this brush! I first use it to put on a waterproof gel eyeliner on the tightline. This area is already so sensitive for most clients, so it holds the right amount of product to do a quick application in one swoop. I will also use this brush to smudge the eyeliner under the eye and on top. This brush is then used to add highlighter under the brow and in the inner corner of the eye. The brush is also fantastic to use with your color corrector prior to the foundation.”
“A versatile detailer for brows & lip! This brush is a great size to get in and draw hairs on the eyebrow and really define a brow and the brush- I like to go old school and spray a little hairspray and brush up the brows. I also use this brush to add a little foundation to clean and perfect the lips”
