LUDOVIK make-up brushes

All Ludovik brushes are professional. Their bristles are nicely assembled and each one ends with a natural thin tip. When squeezed, any Ludovik brush gathers into one thin tip ending with the longest bristle whichever shape and size the brush is. As a result, cosmetics are applied without any fallout or skin damage.

This feature also makes it possible to control the line weight regardless of the brush size: you can draw a thick line with a flat side or a thin line with the end or the edge of the brush. Bristles of Ludovik brushes are full and tightly packed which is visible when you flex them. Such density allows picking up a good amount of the color and applying it evenly and richly. All the brushes of the line are properly glued at the base which makes them very safe for frequent washing without being afraid of bristle loss.

Ludovik brushes are fitted with convenient ergonomic mid-length handles for better balance. Unlike many other brushes, Ludovik ones are weight-conscious, as the weight of their bristles and ferrule matches the handle’s weight. It means that size, thickness and weight of the handle changes according to the brush size. It helps a make-up artist to focus on the work process without distracting for tool disproportion.

The Ludovik collection is rather wide consisting of more than hundred items.

Brushes for powder, dry skin correction and blush: Nos. 01, 02, 03, 04.

No 01— the largest brush of the collection. Made of squirrel or goat (white and black brown) hair as well as high-quality synthetic hair.

• Squirrel hair is the softest and the most expensive sort of brush hair. With it the powdering process is actual pleasure and relaxation for a client and comfortable and practical for an artist. The softness and the highest fineness of squirrel hair provide top density for picking up the large amount of powder without falling off.
• Goat hair is less expensive; it makes brushes stiffer and more elastic. A bristle is thicker, rougher and spongier and is a good alternative for squirrel hair. Despite its higher stiffness, goat hair does not prick because bristles of the brushes are carefully assembled. The structure of that sort of hair has its own benefits – goat hair brushes pick up more of a product and are good for creating denser layers and sculptural and detailed design of face and body make-up. Such brushes are perfect for body art and its bright, rich products.
• Brushes made of high-quality synthetic hair are very thick due to the thin and slightly crimped fiber. The quantity of hair is bigger than in similar natural brushes.

Sable hair is one of the popular and commonly used bristle types. They are suitable for most of the tasks. Other manufacturers usually use weasel hair, but Ludovik brushes consist only of genuine sable. These two hair types are quite similar and only a professional is able to see the difference. Sable hair is thinner and more elastic, which means that there are more bristles for the same brush size and, consequently, the brush itself is fuller. It helps to pick up more and deliver softer. Sable hair is the most tolerant one for any texture of cosmetics. It can be used for applying virtually all the products: creams, base, tint, concealers, face paints, lipsticks, eye shadows, etc.
