This brush is great if you have textured skin, specifically larger pores. I'm able to buff my foundation to smooth out my skin without having to cake on the make up!
101 Contoured Foundation
1
These are the best travel brushes I have ever used. The case they come in is the perfect size to add mascara, brow gel, tweezer, and a small eye palette. 5/5 stars.
Travel Brush Set with Pouch
I love to use this brush for liquid foundation. It's so dense that blending is a breeze and takes no time at all. I have large pores - this brush + the right products makes my skin as close to flawless as can be.
105 Large Buffer
My skin is so oily that I HAVE to powder my face, every time. This brush makes it easy to sweep my fave loose powder where I need it (forehead, nose, cheeks) without getting it all over the place (eyelashes & eyebrows).
108 Precision Powder
The eyeshadow brushes in this set are some of my favorites! They're the perfect size if you have hooded eyes.
SIGMA X SAMANTHA RAVNDAHL BRUSH SET
My brows are so light that I rarely leave the house or get on a Zoom call without applying some brow pencil or tint.
Dual-Ended Firm Angled Eyebrow Brush #12
The Ambient Lighting Palette is one of my holy grail products. I bought this brush at the same time as my first palette purchase and still use it almost every day!
Ambient® Powder Brush
This is an AMAZING set of eyeshadow brushes for hooded lids.
Brush Set for Hooded or Smaller Eyes
The very best concealer brush ever! The angle is perfect.

As I've gotten older, my eyelids have gotten heavier. I can't believe how much of a difference curling my lashes makes!
ProMaster Eyelash Curler
If I took the amount I spent on inexpensive tweezers, I could own 4 pairs of these ones. These are the best and are totally worth the money.
Pink Perfection Slant Tweezer
I strongly prefer the original Beauty Blender, but this is a decent sponge at a much better price.
Blender Sponge Duo - ULTA Beauty Collection | Ulta Beauty
The original Beauty Blender is my favorite tool to apply foundation, especially for long wear formulas like my beloved Estee Lauder Doublewear.
ORIGINAL Beautyblender Makeup Sponge
This is my favorite brush cleaner. Love the jumbo size!
Brush Cleaners - Cinema Secrets
At $7, this isn't a huge splurge and I've found that this sharpener does a MUCH better job than the cheapie ones.
Pencil Sharpener
These are great for taking care of peach fuzz.
Dorco Tinkle Eyebrow Razors for Women, Dermaplane
I got this in a set with my Beauty Blender. It works great, but so does regular hand soap.
blendercleanser® solid
I bought this set with the tin cup the first time I purchased this brush cleaner. I just buy the jumbo size now.
Makeup Brush Cleaner Pro Starter Kit
Do NOT spend a lot of money on spoolies. You have to separate those lashes, but you don't have to spend a lot to do it.

Essential for cleaning stray mascara, brow tint, and eyeshadow.
