Since the middle of 2000, due to the increasing level of interest towards such global issues as well-being and health, the so-called baby-face make-up has become a hot topic. As a result, the tone-based make-up pattern has been changed to the one based on the skin expression. In terms of make-up, the skin expression is not a basic stage for the tone-based make-up any more. It is currently regarded as the most important stage. Therefore , the make-up manufacturers are showing a high level of interest in the development of make-up products and tools which are suitable for various kinds of skin expression related to the baby-face trend. In particular, the specialized foundation brush makes it possible to apply foundation lightly on one' s face and leaves shine behind. Therefore, such a tool is suitable for the moist and natural skin expression. The objective of this study is to analyze the effective use of specialized foundation brushes with various shapes, consider the effective method of skin expression and provide related information. As a study method, in order to exclusively analyze the effective brushes for individual foundation products , three foundation brushes and four foundation products with the highest level of preference in the market have been chosen for the in -depth interview and investigation with the group consisting of seven specialists. The contents which have been revealed through the in -group interview have been organized. As a result, it has been found that Foundation Brush A made of techron with round edges and a high level of elasticity is suitable for the use of Liquid Foundation A and Liquid Foundation B with a high level of moisture. Even if it looks similar to Foundation Brush A and makes it possible to adjust the amount of moisture which it absorbs, the soft-typed Foundation Brush B made of techron with the texture of easy cracking based on too much moisture is the most suitable for the use of the general-typed Liquid Foundation B which is not too watery. Foundation Brush C made of techron and natural materials with round edges shows a flat shape on the top. Since it makes it difficult to adjust the amount of foundation and shows a covering power when it is applied, it is the most suitable for the use of Cream Foundation B which is the solid kind of foundation with a high amount of oil. This study limits the subjects of the analysis to the group of make-up specialists. As a result, it is difficu1t to generalize the results. It is necessary to increase the sample subjects of the analysis and carry out a study on the utilization of various make-up tools other than the foundation brush.
