What they are used for
The LH series is designed for professional special effects makeup and character work. Their solvent-resistant construction makes them suitable for use with alcohol palettes, alcohol-based pigments and other FX products without the ferrule adhesive deteriorating or the bristles losing their shape.
- Application and blending of alcohol-based FX makeup
- Painting of silicone, foam latex and gelatin prosthetics
- Removal and repositioning of prosthetic edges using adhesives and solvents
- Detail work in theatrical, film and television character makeup
- Application of pigments, shadows and contouring in body paint makeup
- Distributing product in hard-to-reach areas thanks to the faceted handle design
- Use with the LH1 model: mascara application and fan distribution for texture effects
How to use
- Select the appropriate LH model for the task: LH1 (Fan/Mascara) for broad blending and texture effects; fine-tip models for detail and lining work.
- Load the brush with just the right amount of product: the synthetic bristles hold pigment well without over-absorbing.
- Apply with controlled pressure. The faceted handle provides a precise grip for both right- and left-handed users, reducing fatigue during long sessions.
- When working with solvents (cleaning prosthetic edges, removing adhesives), apply directly with the brush without worrying about ferrule damage.
- Clean the brushes after each use with the appropriate solvent or cleaner for the product used. Dry the bristles horizontally or face down to preserve their shape.
- Store the brushes in a protective case or roll to prevent bristle deformation during transport.
Usage tips
Cleaning with solvents: no fear for the ferrule
Unlike conventional makeup brushes, the LH Series are made with an adhesive specifically formulated to withstand contact with alcohol-based solvents and other common FX solvents. You can clean them with isopropyl alcohol or the dedicated cleaners from alcohol palettes without the ferrule loosening or the bristles shedding. Avoid prolonged immersion of the handle in solvents.
Control and precision thanks to the faceted design
The matte faceted handle is not merely an aesthetic detail: it prevents the brush from rolling off the makeup table and gives you a tactile reference point to always maintain the same bristle orientation without looking. During long jobs this reduces errors and fatigue. Use it in combination with fine liner brushes to alternate between broad areas and detail work without losing momentum.
The LH1 model: more versatile than it looks
The LH1 combines a mascara-style end and a fan end on the same handle. The fan side is especially useful for distributing setting powders over prosthetics, creating gradual shadow effects or combing fine hair implants. The mascara side allows you to work on lashes or apply product to very localised areas. Make use of both ends within the same session to reduce the number of brushes you need to handle at once.
Frequently asked questions
Are these brushes suitable for use with alcohol-based products?
Yes. The LH Series brushes are made with a solvent-resistant adhesive, making them ideal for use directly with alcohol palettes and alcohol-based products such as those in the Skin Illustrator range. They do not deteriorate with continued use of these types of formulations.
What is the difference between a conventional makeup brush and one designed for FX?
Conventional makeup brushes are not designed to withstand solvents, which causes the ferrule adhesive to soften and the bristles to shed over time. FX brushes like the LH Series use specific adhesives, more robust ferrules and synthetic bristles that maintain their shape and performance even under demanding working conditions.
Are they suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
The bristles are 100% synthetic and vegan, so they contain no animal proteins that could cause allergic reactions. They are a good option for working on sensitive skin or with clients who have allergies to animal hair.
How should I clean and maintain the brushes after use?
Clean the bristles with the appropriate solvent for the product you have used (isopropyl alcohol for alcohol-based products, mild soap and water for water-based products). After cleaning, dry them horizontally or with the bristles facing down so that water does not penetrate the ferrule. Store them in a protective case or roll to maintain the shape of the bristles.
Does the faceted handle work for both left- and right-handed users?
Yes. The ergonomic faceted design is intended to fit comfortably in any hand size and for use by both right- and left-handed users alike. In addition, the facets prevent the brush from rolling on flat surfaces, which is very practical on makeup tables loaded with materials.
Can these brushes be used to apply and remove prosthetic adhesives?
Yes, this is one of their main applications. Both for applying adhesives along prosthetic edges and for distributing solvent during removal, the LH Series withstand contact with these products without deteriorating, unlike conventional brushes.
Which model should I choose for fine detail work?
For fine lines and detail work, complement the LH Series with fine-tip brushes such as the Titanic Pro-FX Brush 101 or the Titanic Pro-FX Brush 102 angled, designed specifically for lining and detail in FX character makeup.
What is the fan end of the LH1 model used for?
The fan end of the LH1 is useful for distributing setting powders over prosthetics, creating broad shadow gradients, combing fine hair or hair implants and blending character makeup edges. Combined with the mascara end of the same brush, it allows you to tackle several tasks without changing tools.
