PXP Brush Filbert 2.5 cm

The PXP Filbert Brush 2.5 cm is a flat face paint brush with an oval-shaped tip made of orange bristles and a dark blue handle. Use it with face paint and a sponge when you want to cover a large part of the face in a single color during Carnival or Halloween. With a brush of this size, you can cover a forehead or cheek in just a few strokes.

What does this filbert brush look like?

• It measures 2.5 cm, a wide version for larger areas on the skin.
• The orange bristles are packed closely together and taper to a soft, rounded tip instead of a straight edge.
• A shiny silver ferrule holds the bristles together and tapers towards the handle.
• The dark blue handle is printed with PXP, the number 18, and the item number 41227.
• The brush is from the PXP Professional Colours brand.

The filbert shape for painting large areas

A filbert brush is shaped somewhere between a flat and a round brush. With the flat side, you apply a wide stripe of face paint in one stroke, and the rounded tip leaves no hard edge at the border. This makes a color area fit more neatly around the eyes and nose. If you tilt the brush on its narrow side, you can also draw a thicker line with it, such as an eyebrow arch or the edge of a mask.

Using the wide brush for the parade or a Halloween night

For a Carnival parade, you usually apply face paint at home, well before you leave. First, use this wide brush to apply the base color, such as the white base for a clown face or the orange for a tiger face, and only then work out the details. You then add fine lines, dots, and mustache hairs with a thinner brush. It works the same way during Halloween: you draw the light base of a skeleton or zombie with the filbert, and fill in the dark eye sockets with the same rounded tip, so that the edge remains soft.
