Face Brushes
These are the brushes I love for my face! I try not to keep too many extras, so I really only have 1 for blush, bronzer, highlighter, and powder.
i use this brush as a bronzer brush instead! i like the angle to help get my forehead and cheekbones, and it always looks flawless!
Airbrush Soft Focus Blush Brush #113 - IT Brushes For ULTA | Ulta Beauty
i use this for blush! i like how it concentrates the blush exactly where i want it and not all over my cheek. i also use this to brush a bit of blush on the tip of my nose
