So you’ve found the perfect powder foundation or luminizer or eye shadow, but how to apply it? Do you use the mini-brush that comes with your make-up, or is it worth it to invest in a good brush?
My advice: buy the brush! It can make a big difference! As Bobbi Brown says, “The tools are as important as the makeup itself”, and if experts think so, I’d definitely go for a brush.
If you use the wrong brush though, your make-up will look clumpy and un-natural, so it’s important to go for quality here. These are the best make-up brushes that’ll help you take your make-up to the whole new level!
1. Sephora Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set

Yuck, bacteria! I can’t think of a worse way to ruin a good eye-shadow. This seven-piece set is treated with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic compound that destroys bacteria. The set comes in a sleek silver case, and has every kind of brush you could possibly need. Cool!
2. Sephora Vanity Brush Set

5. Kat Von D. Kat Eye Brush Set
Price: $48 at sephora.com
I’m a total sucker for a good eyeshadow and a good eyeshadow brush. This set of five eye brushes even includes a flat eyeliner brush! And I LOVE the black vinyl case decorated with the same silver roses as Kat’s favorite tattoo!
Sephora Perfect Ten Brush Set are so cute all in pink :)
Thanks for your ideas Jen I need so good brushes and I will look for these online! :)
Hi Jennifer! Most of my makeup brushes are from Sephora and I was thinking to buy also the Face and Eye Travel Tool Kit. It seems to have some good brushes included and they price it’s OK by me. If you can believe it, I don’t have a Kabuki brush yet.
The sephora brushes are good and I like them but when talking about best brushes… I personally think SIGMA brushes are THE top… soft, high quality, durable and relatively cheap for the quality! They are EXACT dupes (and sometimes work even better) than MAC brushes for a QUARTER of the price… check it out: http://sigmabrushes.com/products.html
