Top 10 Favorite Brushes

Makeup brushes are a must in any woman's makeup drawer. You don't have to spend a ton of money on a makeup brush. Acrylic ones actually are easier to clean than the brushes made from fancy animal (sable, pony, squirrel, goat and badger) fibers. But the pricey ones will last you forever -- and cost you a lot up front. I own quite a bit of brushes, but there are a few that stand out and get put to use almost every day in my makeup life style.

1.Real Techniques Expert Face Brush- This is the most used brush by far in my collection , what I use this brush for it liquid foundation, this makes the actually application of blending foundation into your skin flawless. This brush is a firm, dense and broad brush with ultra plush bristles, this brush doesnt not steak , shed or have any dyes coming out of the brush when washing it , this brush is always wonderful for highlighting and contouring , pretty much it a multi-use brush.

2.Real Techniques Blush Brush- The final step is a perfect finish. Contour and define cheeks for flawlessly blended, high-definition results with this blush brush. This is beyond an amazing brush , it is super plush with synthetic bristles, it is a dome shaped brush but not super dense, this brush give you the perfect application for blush , it doesn't pick up a ton of product like alot of other brushes do , this give you the perfect amount of blush .

3-Real Techniques Stippling Brush- This brush and I have an love hate relationship , this brush is great if you want a light coverage application , the bristles are soft and compact . The hate I have for this brush is ive had mine for over a year , and Ive found that my brush has shedding and can not be used now :( not sure if I got a defected brush or it just not as good quality as the others , but I still rate this brush high since I did have this brush for a year before it started to crumble.

4.ELF Flat Top Powder Brush- This anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. This brush can be used for foundation , bronzer or even blush giving a more blend able finish , it is a soft , compact , dense and a very use able brush , it doesnt shed or bleed. The design and the shape of the brush is so great for many different things, this is by far one of the best drugstore brushes out there.

5.Mac 239 Eye Shading Brush - This is my only  Mac brush I own , I think Mac brushes are over priced and over rated, my thoughts on this brush is that it is lovely , this is the idea brush to pack on eyeshadow and make it bold and stand out like know other, it has a tapered, round edging and it extra firm fine fibers , this brush will not shed or bleed, ideal for anyone that is looking for a great flat shading brush .


  • Price- $25.00

  • Rating -5/5

6.Urban Decay Good Karma Multi Tasking Brush -This was a brush I received in the Urban Decay Naked Palette .Small and flat with a rounded tip (and even more precise than a Lip Brush), the Multi-Tasker works overtime. Apply eyeshadow with precision, lay down concealer, smooth on lip color, or line your eye works for everything you need for a daily look .
