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

Price: $60 at sephora.com
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!


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
Hi Steffany,
I haven’t tried them ever. But thanks for the suggestion! :)
Steffany,
Thanks for the suggestion love. As I haven’t tried them I will look for them :)
Thanks for publishing this! It is a really big help to me, becuase I’m new to the whole make up thing and this really helped! I really like the idea of this whole website, becuase women all ages get to share their thoughts on things and I think that we need a place to discuss these things, becuase they are on such importance to us!
Steffany,
Thanks for the great advise I went on the site and really liked what I saw and you are right, the prices aren’t bad!
