It can be really difficult to choose the makeup brush that
really works for you and from all the brushes available in the market
both affordable and high end it can be really
challenging to choose a brush that works for you
every single day! Here are 5 brushes that are tried
and tested and a must-have in your kit.
The first and the most important
brush that I would like to put in my makeup kit would be this
synthetic foundation brush. It's
round in shape, it's got bristles like a
kabuki brush and it's really soft!
And the thing about synthetic brushes is that you can really
use your cream and your powder foundations
with just one brush. Also, there are a lot of
different kind of brushes available in the market, you get your
flat foundation brush, stippling brush
you get angled brushes but I feel that
this brush is the most essential because it
really soft and also helps
you get into the curves of your face and
makes the application very seamless and well blended
so this is my must-have! A very important thing
that you need to keep in mind when you're buying synthetic brushes is,
that you always touch your bristles and see if they are
soft and fluffy because if
because if not you can have a really streaky
application and they'll drag your skin
and it may irritate you later on so make sure that
you touch your brushes and see if they're soft and nice.
So the second most important brush that you need to have
in your kit has to be this concealer brush, a concealer brush
like this would really help you get into the
nooks and corners of your face so you get this seamless
and also a synthetic bristle like this would
allow you to use your creams and your liquids
and the best part about this brush is that it lets
you blend your eyeshadow so you can
do two things with one brush.
Moving onto the third most important brush
now that has to be a contour brush because
we all like a chiseled and defined jawline
Now your contour brush is not like your regular
blush brush or powder brush, your contour brush looks like
this!
With bristles like this,
it's slightly angular as you can see
and it will help you contour your
face according to your natural contours, a brush like
this will also give you that effortless
seamless finish because it will blend
more quickly and more nicely
it will not give you any streaky
application. Again, make sure you look for a
dense brush, don't look for a brush that has scanty bristles
because that will again make your
application patchy and you don't want something like that.
So let's move onto the eye brush! Now,
we have a lot of different kind of eye brushes
available in the market but my
favourite would be this brush!
This is an angular eyebrow brush, now
this not only fills your brows and
makes them look flawless but what it also does is
it helps you put on your liner!
And it makes your liner very perfect and crisp
because it has this angular bristle and it's a little
hard so it really helps your eyeliner
application go on smoothly, also
a versatile way of using this brush is, use it as
a lip liner brush because when you want a
nice red mouth with a precise crisp
lining, a brush like this would
really help you guys so having this is a must!
Last but not the least would be your powder brush
Now, your powder brush can be a real hair brush
because it's only going to be used with powder products!
Also, the second thing about this
brush would be the versatility of it, you can
use this brush to apply your blush as well!
Usually when you go to buy powder brushes you
get those really big, massive fancy looking brushes
which you don't want. You want to avoid those brushes
as they will pick up a lot of product and make your application
cakey! Instead, opt for
instead, opt for a brush like this!
It would be ideal for both the applications and it
is not too big and not too small
and it will take just the right amount of product
onto your face and make your skin look flawless!
One last thing I would really like to emphasize is
you really need to wash your brushes
atleast once a week! Now you can wash your brushes
with a brush cleanser from MAC, Kryolan
and several other brands sell them
or else you can just take a mild
soap and mix it with water and gently
wash your brushes and make sure there is
clean water draining out of it and flat dry it overnight.
So these are the 5 brushes that I really love and I
cannot really live without it! Let me know what are your
