Perfect makeup is really about blending and for that you need a makeup brush set. Here is the list of the essential makeup brushes every girl needs.
There is no other way of achieving results like a professional makeup artist without a good makeup brush set. If you have ever shopped for makeup brush set you will quickly learn there are hundreds of styles. Here is my list of the essential makeup brushes.
Makeup Brushes for Base
- Concealer Brush: A concealer brush will help you get better results from your choice of concealer. You need to apply concealer to the exact area of imperfection and a concealer brush is the best way to do that.
- Foundation Brush or Cosmetic Sponges: Using sponges or a brush is the best way to apply foundation without getting a heavy mask look. Sponges are great for a one-time application. But if you need to touch up your foundation multiple times a day, a foundation brush is the best option.
- Powder Brush: A powder brush is usually a big fluffy brush that helps dab powder, either pressed or loose, all over your face. This is a better option then sponges because it won't absorb a lot of the product and allows for a light even coverage.
Makeup Brushes for Cheeks
- Bronzer Brush: Now this may not be for everyone but for the few of us that use a bronzer you will need a brush different then the one for blush. If a powder brush hooked up with a blush brush and had children, it would be the perfect bronzer brush. So try and find one that has characteristics of the two.
- Blush Brush: For perfect cheek color, look for a brush that has a dome shape. This way the color will go perfectly onto the center of the brush and the shorter bristles to the side will help blend the cheek color.
Makeup Brushes for Eyes
- Highlight Brush: This brush is shaped to perfectly apply eye shadow onto the brow bone and across the lid.
- Mid-tone Brush: A tapered brush that will apply the mid-tone directly to the crease.
- Contour Brush: A stubbier version of the highlight brush, it is perfect for applying intense color along the lash line and into the crease.
- Eyeliner Brush: An eyeliner brush is necessary if you use powder or cream eyeliner. Other then that, you can spend your money elsewhere.
- Lash Comb: A metal lash comb will help separate your lashes even with the clumpiest mascara wand. Do not waste money on the plastic version...they just don't cut it.
- Brow Brush: Perfect for shaping and grooming your brows. This brush will also help to with blending your eye brow pencil for a more natural look.
Makeup Brushes for Lips
- Lip Brush: A soft, tapered, fine point brush that will apply lipstick or gloss and blend your lip liner to precision. Quality really counts on this brush...you will fall in love with a top-quality lip brush and never be able to apply lipstick from a tube again!
