The Best Makeup Brushes Every Girl Should Own

Owning the best makeup brushes is more important than you think when applying makeup. We've made a list of some of our favorites!

If you do makeup every day, then makeup brushes should be vital equipment that you need in your makeup bag. They have been around for centuries. If you haven’t used them, they really can make a huge difference to the application and finish to the makeup you apply to your face. It is almost like trying to make a cake, with no kitchen utensils. Therefore, if you want to know how to use makeup brushes and what ones to use, keep reading to find out the best makeup brushes you should own!

Fantastic foundation brush:

Foundation is a step most people use if they wear makeup. However, most people think it is quicker to apply it with your hands. Although this works for some tinted moisturisers, it can lead to rubbing bacteria into your face from your hands and leaving smudges on your face from potential lack of blending. Fortunately, Real Techniques, an award winning make up brush line have the answer to your prayers. They have their best-selling Real Techniques Expert Face Brush for £8.99 which is available from selected retailers such as Superdrug. The ultra-firm and broad bristles make it perfect for blending cream or liquid foundation for a pixel-perfect finish. This brush is also Vegan which makes it ethical and amazing! If there is one brush you need, it is definitely this!

Beautiful blusher brush:

A brush that works in multiple ways is an absolute must in your makeup bag. A tapered brush will do just that! It is perfect for applying blusher, bronzer or powder on the T-Zone. It is a multi-tasking wonder and can be cleaned in between uses with a disinfectant spray. Morphe has the perfect tapered brush in my opinion. The M105 Tapered Blush is £5.50 so won’t pull on the purse strings. The soft tip is extra smooth for fine makeup such as mineral based products. If you are looking for minimum fuss, then this is the brush for you!

Brushes are a must for the eyes:

You may think you can skip brushes for the face, but this is almost impossible for the eyes if you want a perfect high-quality finish result. Using a brush on the eyes enables you to blend away harsh lines and pack on colour to the lid. Zoeva is another makeup brush line that is very popular amongst the beauty community. Their Zoeva luxe soft crease brush is another must have staple. A blending brush is a must for seamlessly blending out dark colours on the lid, or even blending away concealer under the eye. You can’t buff away lines with your hand, so this is a brush you certainly cannot skip! This is definitely one of the best makeup brushes.

Brilliant beauty blender:

I am sure you have all heard of a beauty blender. If not, you should have`! This award-winning product is not like your average sponge. It allows you to achieve airbrushed skin, whilst absorbing minimum product. It is best used wet, so it does not absorb any of the makeup product you are applying. It is an absolute must have to bounce in foundation, concealer and even powder and products that are cream based like bronzer. You can be sure it will not leave any marks left behind that you risk getting with bristles. You can buy this product from Beauty Bay for UK customers where prices start at £17. This product is easy to use and when you start using it, you will never look back. This is one of the best makeup brushes!

There are so many makeup brushes on the market, but if you are looking for a few brushes that are absolute staples, then these are the best ones to start your collection!
