Best Makeup Brushes & Tools That Are Actually Worth It
Review!
Real Techniques x Kelli Anne Brush Collection Review | Worth It?
My favorite makeup sponge. It's incredibly soft, blends foundation seamlessly, and absorbs less product than many other sponges I've tried.
AOA Studio Collection Makeup Sponge Set Latex Free
The foundation brush I reach for most. It buffs foundation quickly and leaves a smooth, streak-free finish. It also covers so much surface area quickly!
The Buffer™ Airbrush Finish Foundation Brush - tarte | Sephora
The BEST cream blush brush. I use this brush daily for cream blush and the smaller side for concealer!
F1 Makeup Brush - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
Worth the investment if you love powder blush and want precision. It picks up just the right amount of product and diffuses it beautifully for a soft, natural finish while keeping it right in the area you want it to stay.
No. 15 Blush Brush - Hourglass | Sephora
👁 Eye & Detail Tools
Small tools that make a surprisingly big difference.
One of my favorite precision brushes. I use the liner side for soft wings and detailed eyeliner, and the lip side for crisp lipliner blend.
Stayliner Liner & Blend Brush
Such a simple tool, but it instantly separates lashes after mascara and removes clumps before they dry. The only lash comb that doesn't get stuck in my lashes and actually combs all the way through them.
Pro Lash Separator - Babe Original | Ulta Beauty
I have tried all the eyelash curlers out there and this one is the best to curl fine, straight lashes.
Eyelash Curler - Shiseido | Sephora
🖌️ Brush Sets
If you're looking to build your collection or upgrade your routine, these are the brush sets I recommend. They offer great quality and make everyday makeup easier.
This set is phenomenal and I've especially been loving the skin prep brush and the concealer brush.
Kelli Anne Light Layers Premium Makeup Brush Set - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
Such a solid set for beginners and at a good price point.
Ready, Set, Pro 16-Piece Face & Eye Brush Set - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
I've also been loving this eye brush set, and these have you covered for eyes!
