Foundation

You want a pretty dense brush for foundation, that's a little fluffier towards the end. This is a great affordable option!

Concealer

This is the one I use. It's on the cheaper side but for the price, the quality is pretty good. It gets better once it's broken in a little. The M132 is another great one.
