How to use

Lightly pick up product on the brush tip and tap off any excess for powders. Place the brush where you want to create shadow—beneath the cheekbones, along the jawline or at the sides of the nose—and use short, controlled strokes or gentle circular motions to blend. For cream products, use a slightly lighter hand and build intensity gradually to avoid harsh lines. Clean the brush regularly according to the product care instructions to maintain bristle performance and hygiene.

Usage recommendations

Use the Donegal D 4090 for targeted contouring steps after foundation and before highlight. For a softer result, blend with a larger fluffier brush or a clean sponge. Avoid saturating the bristles to keep control when working with cream formulas.
