There are some brushes that are essentials and some that are, well, not so much. So I've put together my top 5 brushes that I think can create pretty much any look.
The Face. It has to be the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, I am a fan of the Buffing brush also but the Expert Face Brush just takes it. Easy to blend and doesn't soak up too much product, all winning attributes of a good face brush in my book.
The Powder. I love a big, full powder brush and the Real Techniques powder brush really brings it. It is big and fluffy, perfect for adding a dusting of colour to an otherwise pale looking face in a couple of strokes.
The Cheeks. A multi-use brush here, and again with the Real Techniques (are you seeing a theme here). I like the Setting Brush for contour, blush and highlight. Depending on my mood I grab this brush for either one of those, and it works really well for all three. Pointed for contouring to create some cheekbones, full enough to apply blusher and small enough to highlight the cheekbones. In my opinion an excellent all rounder.
The Eyes. I recommend 2 brushes for the eyes, one for applying to the lid and one for the lash line for liner. Not to sound like a broken record but I'm pulling out another Real Techniques for this one, the Shading Brush is ideal for either applying a base colour all over your lid or it's great for creating a little drama in the crease. For the lash line I always reach for my trust Mac 266, it never fails for a clean, fine line.
There was quire a lot of Real Techniques in there (wonder how many times I've written that in this post) but the brushes are really good quality. Easy to clean and work with so if you are looking for some new brushes or starting out on make up I would recommend this!
What are you go to brushes?
