A Passion for Perfect Brushes

Though the creative success of make-up artists does not rest with the tools alone, they do play a decisive role. For this reason Australian make-up artist Rae Morris set out to find the world’s very best manufacturer of make-up brushes. Her search finally bore fruit in Japan. Now, her own collection offers fabulous make-up brushes for a whole range of different applications, and they work wonders in the hands of us non-professionals as well. A practical bonus feature: they’re magnetic.

The magnetic professional brush

Before Rae Morris found her niche in the colorful world of make-up she worked as a hairdresser and ran her own salon at the age of 19. Working behind the scenes at a modeling competition she was «discovered» by jury member Naomi Campbell. Morris just happened to be there when the star had a falling out with another visagiste. Rae Morris stepped in. Her work found favor and thus began a brilliant career, including over 10 years as make-up director at L’Oréal Paris. Rae Morris is still a sought-after make-up artist today, working with the world’s best photographers on cover shots and beauty editorials for top fashion magazines, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and I.D. Magazine. In the meantime she has also developed her own make-up line – and now offers the ideal companion tools for a perfect application experience.

The high quality and optimal handling of the brushes reflect the practical expertise of a make-up artist with over 25 years of international experience at the top of the field. Rae Morris has succeeded in creating tools that can be a game-changer in make-up application, even in the hands of a rank beginner. The brushes are so lightweight that it feels as though you are touching your skin directly while you use them!

Indeed, finding the right manufacturer to produce these sophisticated brushes was no easy task. After an extensive search, Rae finally discovered a traditional manufacturer in Japan with a brush-making heritage going back more than 180 years. Never before had this venerable firm made brushes for another brand. That these incomparable specialists agreed to collaborate with Rae Morris and now produce her brushes is a real stroke of luck! The brushes are equipped with a magnet for easy drying and storage on the special Rae Frame holder.

Enthusiasm Is for Sharing

Sarah Tanno, an acclaimed make-up artist colleague of Rae Morris, once praised the perfect form and density of Rae’s brushes, which allows make-up products to be optimally applied and blended. The ease and perfection of application reveals that this collection is the brainchild of someone who knows all the ins and outs of the art. I can certainly attest to that myself: every move of the brush can be carried out with precision control, delivering a flawless result. One of my favorite brushes is the Mini Radiance, a compact bound brush perfect for blending any foundation make-up, cream contour or blush product. With just a few strokes the various formulas blend seamlessly with the skin for a smooth, soft-focus effect.

I can also heartily recommend the Cheekbone Brush. The Internet is full of tutorials on how to highlight cheekbones to greatest effect, but it often all sounds quite complicated and time consuming. The Ultimate Cheekbone Brush from Rae Morris does away with all that: just one stroke of this brush gives your cheekbone the desired definition. The brush head is specially shaped to conform to the contours of the cheekbone. This result is easy handling and a well-defined look with more depth.

My recommendation: the Rae Morris brushes are truly a must-have for anyone who wants to create a perfect make-up look. The best way to find out which of these wonderful brushes could become your personal favorite is to stop by Spitzenhaus and try them out for yourself.
