"The proper tools are as important as the makeup itself.” - Bobbi Brown
A nice brush set might cost more than you think, but its well worth the investment as make-up brushes play a very important part in applying make-up properly. Now we realize that there are about a billion available, and so we're going to make this nice and easy:
A. We completely love Bobbi Brown’s essentials brush collection
B. For blending, try Stila’s #5 with those soft, natural bristles
C. For blending eyeliner, the M.A.C #219 is bananas and gives a gorgeous smoky smudge to pencil eyeliner
D. For concealing go with either Vincent Longo’s concealing brush, which is nice and wide, or Stila's #2 & #11 for gives precision concealing and then blending
Be sure to care for your brushes and wipe any excess makeup off each time you use them to keep them in good condition.
Do you use brushes to apply your cake? What kind are your favorites?
