Top 5 Essential Makeup Brushes

Why do we need Makeup Brushes? That too in variety? I have realized that a good makeup tool can make a hell-lot-of difference to the way your makeup looks. It makes it flawless, easy to apply, with perfection and yes keep the makeup germ free too.I have listed down 5 Must have makeup brushes for all you girls out there. These are the “Top 5 Essential Makeup Brushes” you can start building your makeup kit with. You can check Bare Essentials Makeup Brushes, Vega Set of 5 Brushes , Colorbar Brushes, Sigma Makeup, Coastal Scents etc

1. Foundation Brush 

A good foundation brush makes the application flawless and smooth. It spreads and blends product super easily. There are number of ways we can apply foundation though e.g. using fingers, using a sponge, a flat brush, a kabuki or a stippling brush. When I talk about a beginner only a good dense flat top Kabuki brush comes into my mind and what else I can suggest you than Sigma F 80 Brush (Reviewed HERE)

2. Powder Brush

A Good powder brush picks up right amount of product and spreads it easily. Make sure the brush is fluffy and not very dense as it would pick up more than needed and can end up cake-y-fying your makeup. How to use – Swirl The brush lightly in the pan and apply on you face using very light strokes. I have been using Ecotools Powder Brush and Real Techniques Blush Brush for the same. You can double it up as a blush brush, saves time and money !

3. Angled Liner Brush

Like I explained in my last post HERE, an angled brush is a must have, whether you want to apply gel liner , eye shadow as eye liner or fill up your eye brows, this one brush can come really handy. I have been using one from Ecotools which is super cheap and can be purchased from buyincoins.com or ebay.

4. Eyeshadow Brush

A fluffy eyeshadow brush to sweep the color on your eyes or if required can put some color in the crease for quick eye makeup. This is a must have brush if you are trying to build up a travel or a beginners kit, Rest you can add more brushes depending upon the need (You can look at the ones I have suggested in my last post HERE)

5. Lip Brush

Why a Lip Brush? Once you start using it you will realize how precise and neat the lip color looks on you. It helps in evenly distributing the color and blending it, preventing the color from bleeding or feathering out. It will be really useful while working with darker shades. You can try out cheaper options from Vega, Faces, Nyx or The brush that comes with Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner can also be a good option.

Any basic makeup set will have these 5 brushes whether you buy it from Vega , Bare Essentials, Sigma Makeup, Coastal Scents or bhcosmetics (These are the affordable options)
