Whether you are brand new to the makeup world or you're an experienced artist, having a good, core set of makeup brushes is a necessity. With makeup, you can have amazing products but without the tools to apply it, it is nothing.
1. A foundation brush
These two brushes are awesome. The one of the left is the Sigma F80 and is $24.00 and the one on the right is from Morphe Brushes and is the m439 and is only $13.99. They both apply the foundation so smoothly only requiring a small amount of product.
2. A Beauty Blender
Using a beauty blender creates an air brushed look. Wet the sponge and then dry it with a paper towel (that way it is damp) and then press to blend out foundation and concealer. Using this technique will eliminate any excess product on the face.
This blender is from Real Techniques and is only $4.00-7.00 and you can get it from any drugstore or Ulta.
This blender is the official beauty blender that everybody raves about. It is amazing if I do say so myself! You can purchase it at Sephora for $20.
3. Bronzer and a blush brush
Finding a good brush for bronzer and blush can be kind of tricky. Here are a few that I think are hands down the best.
The first two are from Morphe Brushes. The first one is called the m527 at $15.99 and the second one is the m523 at $14.99. The second one is for contouring because it is smaller and more pointed. Following that brush with the m527 (the first brush) will blend everything out leaving you looking sharp and bronzed. The third brush is from Sigma and is called the F40 priced at $22.00. This is my favorite blush brush because it is angled perfectly for the cheeks.
4. A setting brush
Setting underneath the eyes and the rest of the face is a must for anyone with oily or combo skin. These two brushes from Real Techniques are perfect.
5. A blending brush
If I could put 1,000 exclamation points by this, I would. Having a good blending brush completes a makeup brush kit. If you do not start with transition colors and build your way up to a sharp smokey eye, your end result will, let me put this nicely, not look cute. Starting with basic, neutral colors will create a perfect, glamorous result. These blending brushes are incredible and cheap! These are from Morphe Brushes. The first one is the m441 and is a smaller one meant for darker shades that blend no further beyond the lid. The second one is the m433 and is a large, fluffy blending brush meant for all over the eye with your transition colors.
