What Is an Electric Makeup Brush, and How Do You Use It?

An electric makeup brush is a rechargeable brush with a vibrating head that helps blend makeup as you move it across the skin. You still guide the brush by hand; the vibration adds movement to help spread foundation, powder, or blush. Adjustable settings let you choose a gentler or stronger vibration.
