Bronzer, blusher, highlighter

It is best to own a separate brush for each product, but the brush for the blusher has the most characteristic shape because it’s cut at an angle. Its shape allows the application of all sorts of cosmetics. To apply the highlighter use the pointy part. For bronzer use the side part and for the blusher the opposite side (it works!).
