How it works

CLDR, the word list behind emoji search, files brush under one emoji, and it is Toothbrush. So the makeup brush emoji here is a pair: Lipstick, filed under makeup, then Paintbrush.

Read the full guide

Why the paintbrush

Unicode’s names list gives the paintbrush character a second name, brush, and Wikipedia defines a makeup brush as a tool with bristles for applying makeup or face paint.

Powder, blush and kabuki

The brush kinds are Wikipedia’s. A powder brush is fluffy, full and rounded, and a blush brush is like it but smaller. A kabuki brush has dense bristles and a short handle, and is named after the Japanese theatre, which is why its combo ends in Performing arts.

Questions and answers

Is there a makeup brush emoji?

Not by that name. Unicode’s emoji list, version 18.0, has two emoji with brush in the name, Paintbrush and Toothbrush, and neither is for makeup. 💄🖌️, Lipstick then Paintbrush, is the nearest pair.

Which emoji mean makeup?

Three, by CLDR: Lipstick, Nail polish and Mirror are filed under makeup, and cosmetics leads to the first two only. Powder, eyeshadow, mascara and foundation lead nowhere.

Is there a blush brush or powder brush emoji?

No. The combo Blush brush puts Smiling face with smiling eyes after the paintbrush, because CLDR files that face under blush, and Powder brush ends in Cloud.
