While mini masking brushes + bowls may not seem like a necessity in the big scheme of things – they’re definitely a nice thing to have + the one thing you didn’t think you needed if you do facials regularly.
For years I refused to spend the money on one, figuring… I’ll just use one of my kitchen bowls + an old makeup brush. And, while you can still totally do that… I highly recommend designating or buying a specific set – that you’ll use only for facials.
Why You Should Own One…
- They’re usually just the perfect size + shape, so you don’t loose or waste any product. I’ve found when I use bigger bowls I tend to mix more product than I actually need, because it’s hard to judge. Since I’ve been using a facial bowl, I always mix the perfect amount + hardly ever end up with anything leftover, which I love – because we know how expensive some of theses masks can be 🙈, so it can be a money saver in the long run.
- Different Brushes will be good for different mask consistencies + levels of thickness when applying. For example: with thicker masks, I like my May Lindstrom Angled Brush, but for lighter masks, I like my Laurel Whole Plant Organics Fan Brush. So, it really depends. And, honestly – you can get the job done with almost any of them… it’s really just a matter of preference.
- You can store this set with all your other masking stuff so it’s ready to go when you need it, + without feeling guilty because a bowl is MIA from your kitchen! If you do this, I promise you’ll mask more. Plus, it makes it so much easier for an impromptu shower masking sash! Win-win for your skin!
I don’t have all of these {but wish I did!}, so I’ve noted which ones I have + which ones I want.
- May Lindstrom The Facial Treatment Brush – have + love! I have the original one of these from probably about 4-5 years ago, maybe? And, I’m pretty sure it’s still the same. It’s a nice, sturdy, synthetic angled brush that’s perfect for any mask, but really great for heavier ones, or thicker application. Plus, the fact that it’s angled gives you more control too.
- May Lindstrom The Mask Treatment Bowl – have + love! I also have the original version of the bowl too, which looks a smidge different, but still seems to have the same concept – just not as stunning + glam as the newer one (pictured above). Absolutely GORG bowl though, with nice, high sides that curve in at the top, so you don’t loose anything.
- Annmarie Gianni Skin Care Mask Treatment Bowl + Applicator Brush (Limited Edition) – want.
- Laurel Whole Plant Organics Mask Treatment Brush + Bowl Set – have + love! At first, I thought this bowl was pretty tiny (and, it is), but it’s honestly just the perfect size! I probably use this more than my May Linstrom one (which I also love!), simply because it’s just so small, so light, so easy to store + easy to grab. I have no idea how my mask stays in this bowl when I mix in it, but it does… every time! I also love the fan brush too! It’s also synthetic, perfect for lighter masks, gives thiner application + feels like butterfly kisses.
