The Ultimate Beauty Tool: Your Hand!

4 REASONS TO GO FREEHAND

1 IT’S SEXY IN THAT NBD WAY

“Using your hands to blend creamy products—cream is the only formula that works sans brush—creates a more natural, sensual look,” says Rose-Marie Swift, make-up artist and Founder of RMS Beauty, a line of finger-paint friendly products.

2 YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MORE CONTROL

“Your fingertips sense texture, moisture, and viscosity in a way that a brush or sponge can’t,” says make-up artist Dick Page, known to ditch a brush backstage.

3 BLENDING IS EASY
