Which Brushes Do You Actually Need?

Do you need a blush brush or an angled brush for your eyeshadow? The answer of which make-up brushes you absolutely need will be different for everyone. How do you currently apply makeup? Is it working for you? Are there specific looks you’d like to try that require brushes? If you love makeup, then you may want all of the brushes on this list in your arsenal.

If you had to whittle it down to only three choices, you might choose something like this:

• A small, angled brush that can be used on eyeliner, lips, and brows
• A flat, medium-sized brush that can be used to build coverage with foundation, concealer, and highlighter
• A soft, fluffy, dome-shaped brush that can be used to apply powder, blush, and bronzer

As you build your collection of makeup brushes, remember to reach for quality products. Investing in high-quality pieces will ensure they will last a long time and serve you for many years down the road.
