FAQs
Can this brush be used for blush?
While designed for contouring, the tapered shape is excellent for precise blush application on the apples of the cheeks.
Is this brush made with animal hair?
No, the NYX Pro Contour Brush is made with synthetic fibers, making it vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
How often should I clean this brush?
For optimal hygiene and performance, it is recommended to deep clean your brush at least once a week.
Will this brush work for highlighter?
Yes, the tapered tip allows for very specific highlight placement on the cheekbones or the bridge of the nose.
Can I use this with liquid foundation?
It is not recommended for full-face foundation application, as the brush head is specifically sized and shaped for precision contouring.
Troubleshooting
Brush is not blending cream contour smoothly
The brush may have too much product buildup; wash the brush thoroughly and ensure it is fully dry before the next use.
Bristles are shedding during application
Avoid soaking the entire handle in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that can degrade the adhesive in the ferrule.
Powder pigment is falling off the brush
Ensure you are tapping off excess product before applying to the face, and press the brush lightly into the powder rather than sweeping it aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush does not require any specialized setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is fully compatible with all standard makeup formats, including stick contours, powder bronzers, and liquid pigments.
To ensure the longevity of your brush:
- Weekly Cleaning: Use a gentle brush cleanser or a mild soap mixed with warm water to remove product buildup.
- Drying: Always lay the brush flat or hang it with the bristles facing downward to prevent water from seeping into the ferrule, which can dissolve the glue holding the bristles together.
- Storage: Keep in a clean, dry environment, such as a brush roll or organizer, to keep the bristles from fraying or collecting dust.
