My Best Makeup Brushes

** How many do we need for every day use? ** 


Which are my best makeup brushes? You'll be surprised to see how few I regularly use.

HOT TOPICS!
This is an area where women like to splurge. I know I would. I would keep buying more and more brushes. But when you think about it it becomes clear you don't really need that many. Most women end up using 5 or 6 brushes regularly and the rest remain on display to admire.

Choosing your brushes also depends on how your eye is shaped and what works for you. For example, my eyelids are spacious so very small eye shadow brushes don't work for me. I prefer one large shadow brush, it's easier and faster to apply makeup.

In the below video, I talk about my best makeup brushes and why I love them so much.

MY FAVORITE BRUSHES

If you don't want to spend tons of money on brushes, here's the link to BlushCosmetics.

There are other factors to consider when determining your best makeup brushes. Your age and the type of bristles. Sounds strange? Let me explain.

When you are in your twenties or early thirties you skin (eyelids and brow bone) is firm and smooth. You can use any soft brush and blending is never a problem. As you get older the firmness slowly reduces, leaving your skin saggier (especially if overweight like me). In this case, slightly stiffer bristles will work better to control "wobbly" skin.

Of course, it's our choice to splurge or not on lots of professional makeup brushes. If you love owning many brushes then go for it, enjoy the pleasure of purchasing them. If you are more conservative or have little money, there is no reason to feel deprived. You would only end up using a few anyway.
