Which are the best makeup brushes to use? Is a question asked frequently by makeup lovers. I have the answer for you! I have compiled a short list of my top six makeup brushes that I love using. Makeup brushes are extremely expensive, but they are such a great investment and can last a lifetime if they are well looked after.
From Left to Right.
MAC 239 Eye Shader brush - I love this brush for packing eyeshadow to the lid. It's great for when you are wanting to apply a concentrated amount of eyeshadow in an area. It's great for when you are using eyeshadow pigments.
Sigma E35 Tapered Blending Brush - This brush is great for defining the crease before blending with a fluffy brush.
Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - I love using this brush to apply foundation. The synthetic bristles are nice and firm and give a great application whether you use it to apply moisturizer, primer or foundation.
Edgars Angled Brush - I found this brush in a cheapy range at Edgars, it was under R100! This brush works well to apply gel liner and to fill in your brows with a gel based brow filler.
Real Techniques Silicone Liner Brush - Despite the fact that this is a liner brush, I love using it for when I am applying false lashes. This brush works well to press the already glued lash onto the lash line and because it is a silicone brush, the lash glue peels off it easily.
217 Blending Brush - My favourite brush and probably the most frequently used brush in my brush roll. This is the perfect brush for blending eyeshadow into the crease to ensure no harsh lines.
