Just when it seems like your brush collection is complete, you buy a product that requires a different applicator. Highlighter requires precision, so you need a brush that won't pick up too much product or deposit it in areas that you didn't intend to highlight.
A small fan brush makes a great addition to your brush collection. The tip should be very narrow, which will help you place your highlight right on top of your cheekbones. A fan brush also makes quick work of sweeping away excess powder or eyeshadow fallout, so the investment is worth it.
