If you want the most out of your Makeup, then you need to invest in high quality makeup Brushes. Sorry ladies and gents, no exception on this one. I know this sounds counterintuitive but most beauty experts say you’ll end up saving money on the long run because a good quality brush can last for as long as a decade if you care for it properly. Here’s a tip: opt for natural bristle brushes because they have a smoother texture and products better adhere to them. On the other hand, don’t completely discount synthetic brushes because they’re especially useful when using liquid and cream products. Since synthetic brushes don’t have cuticles they won’t absorb as much makeup as natural brushes, which also means less cleanup time for you. I employ you to take a trip to Sephora, Ulta or even your local beauty store and stock up on a quality set, STAT. In the meantime, I’ve got you covered on these eye shadow brush basics.
Concealer brush
If you’re looking to conceal dark circles, redness or any other imperfection that requires you to work around the delicate inner corners of the eye, you’re going to have to reach for a brush with a little more precision power. This concealer brush has soft, flat bristles that let you buff and blend until you achieve your desired coverage.
Eye blending brush
Whether you prefer the no-makeup look or tend to be more heavy-handed with your eye shadow application, you’ll always achieve a seamless finish with this brush, as long you use it for the sole purpose it was intended for. With its tapered tip and fluffy bristles, this beauty does one thing and one thing well, blend.
Eyeliner brush
Don’t let these tiny, tightly-packed bristles fool you because they have the capacity to deposit thick layers of pigment on the eyelid, if you need it. What’s also great about this brush is that you can create a thin or bold look using wet and dry products.
