Foundation/Base
These are my top brushes for a flawless foundation base! I rotate between them constantly!
This is my all time favorite brush for blending liquid foundation (or any cream product)! Use the fluffy side for a flawless blend and the more dense side to concentrate the product.
MAKEUP BY MARIO F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush
Love this brush for a even, smooth and airbrush finish.
Vanish Foundation Brush - Hourglass
This brush is wider than the previous brushes, which I love because it allows me to cover more skin in less time, but still provides a beautiful and seamless application!
Dual Ended Foundation Brush - PATRICK TA
Concealer
You can't go wrong with a smooth under eye concealer application with either of these brushes! But keep note that the denser a brush is, the higher the coverage you will get!
This brush is amazing for applying concealer without absorbing too much product.
Vanish™ Seamless Finish Concealer Brush - Hourglass | Sephora
I can't live without this dual ended brush! I use the denser side to apply product & the fluffier side to help further blend and diffuse the makeup.

Blush/Bronzer
I use this brush daily for blush and bronzer. As someone who loves both cream and powder blush, I appreciate how effortlessly it blends everything into the skin.
Patrick Ta Dual-Ended Blush Brush
I have yet to find another brush that compares to this one for bronzer and contour! The denser side is amazing for sculpting/chiseling the cheeks!

One of the BEST eyelash curlers on the market! This is highly rated, so you don't just have to take my word for it! I seriously refuse to use any other curler!
