hello gorgeous welcome back to my channel we are continuing the beauty
basics or the beginner's guide to beauty or beauty basics whatever you want to
call it series today I'm going to take a little of a not go directly underneath
the foundation kind of go off off to the side a little bit and talk about makeup
brushes because this is one of my probably most asked questions from my
gorgeous girls is what brushes do I use do I really need this many brushes what
do I do with this brush it's it's just like it's very very confusing and I know
that because there are about a million brushes on the market and you don't know
where to start so I'm gonna take you through the basics and show you step by
step what brushes you actually need to get a face done so let's do it so to
begin with I'm gonna show you the brushes that I use all the time now
these are my brushes that I keep on my desk they I don't use every single one
of them all the time these are there's just the ones that I like to have within
an arm's reach I have a lot more brushes than this this is just the ones that I
use frequently by no means am i saying these are the brushes that you need cuz
nobody needs this many unless you're a makeup artist you don't need this many
this is just what I have this is my face brush collection right here and my eye
brush collection right here and then I keep my Beauty Blender in this little
travel thing it turns like this and it's got the vents so that when you're
traveling when it's wet it can dry out without getting all nasty what I'm gonna
do first is we're gonna separate it and we're gonna talk about foundation first
so I'm going to show you the brushes that I currently have in my collection
that I actually use for a foundation and I'm gonna tell you what I think you
actually need so for foundation the brushes that I have are the round brush
that you apply like this I think our teeths is the first one to
come out with this design this is not arti spied you have a ton of artiste
brushes this one is pure and then the other one is my very very very favorite
foundation brush in that is the face too this is a Marc Jacobs brush this is
pricey if I had to pick between the two I would
pick this one all day long but I love this one too they both do a really great
job but when it's all said and done do you need a foundation brush in my
opinion no I don't think that you do is it nice to have one yeah but I don't
think anyone what I do think you need is just a beauty blender and if you don't
like beauty blenders you can use like silicone sponge like I have one called
the makeup drop or you can use a makeup wedge or whatever it is but I prefer
beauty blenders what I like to do is put my foundation on the back of my hand
have my Beauty Blender make sure it's damp I hit so much hate on my Beauty
Blender to video because everyone's like you why do you say that you have to use
a Beauty Blender to help you don't have to well if you look it up you actually
are supposed to is designed to be used what because when it's dry like this is
gonna absorb your makeup when it's damp it's gonna sit on the surface more so
when it's damp I pick up my foundation right here and then I just pounce it all
over my face and I feel like the Beauty Blender gives you the most airbrushed
flawless foundation finish more so than even a brush and even when I do apply
with a brush I still always finish it off with a Beauty Blender so in my
opinion all you need is a Beauty Blender when applying foundation and that's it
next up on the face after foundation for me is concealer although a lot of times
I start with the eyes I'm gonna go in this in this order but I keep two
concealer brushes in my makeup collection and the reason I have two is
I use one from my peach corrector and one for my concealer and then I also
have my dermablend brush which I don't actually know what they call this one
there's no markings on it except for dermablend but it came with their color
correctors do I think that you need a separate concealer brush for concealer
for color corrector or just in general if you have a Beauty blunder I don't I
think that you don't have to have one but is it nice yeah the reason I think
that it's nice to have a concealer brush when you're color correcting any
particular spots especially under the eyes is that you only want to put the
color corrector exactly where you're correcting you don't want to like for if
you're using the peach under your eyes you want to get it right where your
color correcting which is on the purple and if you get outside of the purple
it's going to make that area of your skin look peach and that's not
you want you only want to use it for color correcting so I think that you can
get it more precise with a brush and then blend it out with the beauty
blender is it necessary No is it nice yes
in regards to concealer nine times out of ten I apply a concealer directly out
of the tube depending on what kind of using or with my finger and then blend
it out with a damp Beauty Blender so again this is not necessary I think if
you have a Beauty Blender that's all you need for setting powder under my eyes I
actually prefer to apply it with a damp Beauty Blender because I feel like you
can just really get it on there nicely we're going to bake but the thing that I
do like to do is to then wipe away the excess with a brush my favorite brush is
the pro airbrush this is a Sephora brush I think it's the 55 I love this one so
much I use it for applying my my powder you know my t-zone for wiping away under
the eyes I really love this I apply a lot of times with my Beauty Blender than
wipe away excess with this or actually might make compact which is my pressed
powder that I love from it cosmetics the CC powder I apply it directly out of the
compact with this brush so this is the brush I really do think that a powder
brush goes a long way you can use this but I prefer to have a powder brush on
hand as well next up is bronzer okay so I have three different brushes for
contouring these two are the lucky brushes the jadi weighty 180 collection
these are specifically made for contouring I love this one so much
because it's made for contouring right there along the edges of your nose I
love this brush if you could buy this brush by itself I would tell I would
tell every single person that they should buy it because I love it that
much this brush is great too I I'd never used the side of it I only use the fan
side and it's really good for getting like there and around the face and along
the jaw line it's really nice and then I also have a regular bronzer brush this
brush isn't necessary when you have just a good bronzer brush in a pinch I will
contour with my damp Beauty Blender I do a lot of times blend out my bronzer even
after application with my damp Beauty Blender just to get like a really nice
finish but I really like to have a bronzer brush on hand this one is the
bronze by Marc Jacobs by all means you do not need
Jacob's brush to do bronzer there are so many bronzer brushes out there that are
gonna do a great job whether you go with Sigma Mac whatever you want but I do
like a bronzer brush to get into my cheeks and just blend and I like to
always take the excess across the bridge of my nose even if I do contour because
I want to work in the contour with a little bit of bronze on my nose because
it's I don't like the look of just having contoured edges of nose and then
nothing right here I like to add a little bit right there so I just I feel
like a bronzer brush if you are contouring it's just something that you
need to have in your makeup kit the next brush is a blush brush okay again you
can use a damp Beauty Blender to apply your blush but there's just something
about a blush brush that I feel like is just necessary this is Real Techniques
if you don't know about Real Techniques it's a drugstore brand and it's created
by two youtubers pixie we love them so much but this is the only blush brush
that I have used now for years and I love it I think it does a great job and
there's no reason to drop a whole bunch of money on a blush brush in my opinion
you can use this in a pinch but I don't ever travel without this I never do my
blush without this unless I'm in a pinch so love it next I want to talk about
eyebrows okay so that's something that you definitely definitely definitely
have to have a brush for unless you're using a pencil if you're using a pencil
you don't need one but you still need a spoolie so I have two eyebrow brushes
they're basically the same one is it cosmetics and one is benefit they are
like you can tell they basically are the same and they both have the spoolie on
the edge it's got the angle at the top I love both of these they both do the
exact same thing I love them equally as much as each other but that's something
that you do need if you are looking to buy makeup brushes and eyebrow brush is
a must and if you don't need the actual brush side like I said because use a
pencil at least get a spoolie and you can get one of these at you know a
Target or Walmart and from ELF for probably a dollar but this is just
really good to have especially so it doubles because you can use it to comb
your brows into place but also to comb your lashes and if you have extensions
like I do you're gonna comb your lashes all the
time and it's just something to always have on hand alright if
you are a member of my facebook group gorgeous girls community then you know
how much I have been on the Marie Kondo train with cleaning out purging
organizing so when I look at this right here it a little bit gives me anxiety
because it's like Angela you do not need all of these brushes and your everyday
brush set and I would have to say yeah you're right I don't
so what I am gonna say is I'm going to tell you the brushes that I actually do
use all the time for eyes and that I love number one are the flat shader
brush --is so I have two brands here I have Mac and then I have zoeva zueva is
the 234 and the Mac is the 230 they are completely identical like you cannot
tell the difference this is my most go to brush and the reason is because of
that flat shader head it's just how you pat your your shadows neatly across your
lid I do not do not like the applicators that come in eyeshadow that you buy I
think that they are horrific I think that they pull your skin they do not
blend it's just don't even get me started you
need brushes this is something that if you do not buy a single makeup brush for
your face by eyeshadow brushes because it will up your eyeshadow game by a
thousand percent you need them trust me these brushes are a must you need a flat
shader brush so that you can at the very least Pat your shadow from lash line to
brow bone like you know if it's just a skin tone shade whatever it is this is a
brush that I feel like everybody needs to have is a flat shader brush
okay the next brush that you need besides a flat shader brush is a fluffy
brush this is a Mac 217 a Mac 224 this is Oh Ava 221 or a morphe m4 33 the
morphe is my least favorite and out of these so I'm going to set that down my
most favorite is this is Oh Ava it's the luxe soft crease 221 I love it
so much and what why I love it is because you can just deposit your shadow
into your crease so easily and look I am NOT dragging my skin whatsoever but you
just get in there and apply it and you build build build
your coverage this is my favorite crease my second favorite crease brush is
probably gonna be the 217 and then then the 224 the 224 I like to keep clean in
my makeup set or makeup brush holder and I like to then use it specifically just
for blending not for depositing but just for blending but these three are my
favorite so I think every girl should have one flat shader brush and one
fluffy blending brush or soft soft crease crease brush whatever you want to
call it but I think that one of each of these is necessary to just create any
eye look that you need the final eyeshadow brush that I think that every
girl should have in their collection and as you can see I still have a ton more
in here and I use them all for different things
and they all get used that's why they're the hair but is a smudge brush and the
reason you need a smudge brush is to smudge out or smoke out a line
especially a lash line but I love this much brush for depositing color right
there onto the lower lash line or say I apply eyeshadow along the lash line and
it's kind of messy because I want that smoked out look then I'm gonna use the
smudge brush and smudge it out smoke it out I just love this and even if I'm not
using it for one of those two reasons I like to just apply a little bit of
highlight to my inner corner right there and this is just so small and petite
that it just fits right into that corner and gets exactly what I want done all
right so that is like the very basics on makeup brushes like not specifically
brands but specifically the brushes and what they do and what you need to get
just a full face look like honestly got yourself a Beauty Blender you can do
pretty much your entire face except for your brows and your eyeshadows like I
can I did a whole video about it so if you haven't seen that thing just just go
into the you tube type and type Angele under Beauty Blender it'll come up and I
literally do my entire face with a Beauty Blender and it looks just as good
as if I would have used brushes in my opinion so this is really like the magic
little pink puff of goodness so I think that it does like everything that you
need it with the exception of brows and eye shadow
