# Two-Piece Makeup Brushes Cosmogen's Half Moon Brush Separates for Applying Different Products By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-09-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-moon-brush References: [cosmogen.fr](https://www.cosmogen.fr/news/-news-half-moon-brush) The Half Moon Brush by [Cosmogen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gua-sha-inspired-foundation-brush) sets itself apart with a design that comes apart to create "the ideal sharing brush," as it can be used to apply different products. While most half moon brushes on the market boast one-piece designs, this one was created so that users can easily apply their face powder, as well as other products like contouring powder and highlighter afterward. The [three-in-one brush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/effin-sculpt) was created with sharing in mind and it includes a design that mimics friendship jewelry pieces that separate into two pieces and come together to form the image of a full heart. Appealing to pairs of best friends, the design boasts a warm, rosy color scheme.
