Everyday Makeup Brushes
My go-to picks for makeup brushes that are easy to use, easy to clean, and easy on the budget. Perfect for daily routines or anyone building their kit.
I use this brush to apply my powdered contour and concealer. Its something about the angle that just works for me!
e.l.f. Cosmetics - Blush Brush
Overall its an affordable line with quality products. I will get into the specific brushes I use in other posts.
Real Techniques - 60 Products
I use this brush for liquid foundation application. I love it because it doesn't leave streaks and gives a flawless finish.
Glow Round Base Makeup Blending Brush - Real Techniques
I rarely use sponges, but if my makeup’s feeling dry, a quick pat with a damp one is magic.
Miracle Complexion Makeup Blending Sponge - Real Techniques
If I’m skipping my 5-minute routine and going for a fuller look, this is the brush I grab to blend my concealer.
Expert Liquid and Cream Concealer Makeup Brush - Real Techniques
This is another affordable brush that I use to apply my contour. Similar to the other brush, its the angle that helps the application (I use it with powder only).
Angled Blush Brush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
If you're going for a smudged eyeliner to create that smoky look, this is what I use. It's also great to apply eyecolor to your botton lash line to give your eyes that pop.
Smudge 'N Smoke Eyeliner Brush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Great for applying eyeshadow to your top lids or bottom lash line.
Eyeshadow ''C'' Brush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Define your brows with a bit of concealer using this brush. To keep it natural you can also use a bit of foundation instead.
Small Angled Brush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Again, this is my favorite blush to blend out my concealer. I know traditionally its used for blush but for me this brush and a light hand goes a long way.
