TOP 10 MAKEUP BRUSHES

I have a range of brushes, some I use more often than others. I have a core few that I use regularly because I love the job they do, some at very low prices! 

Jumping right into it I'm going to start with my base. Now I only use one brush for applying my foundation/BB cream because this one does an amazing job! This is the Real Techniques Buffing Brush (part of a set). This brush makes applying foundation a dream, it gives a flawless finish, works the product so well into the skin and it doesn't take very long which is always a bonus! Also it doesn't leave the skin looking streaky which some other brushes do. This brush is a synthetic brush and is super easy to clean, like all of the other Real Techniques brushes! Well done Sam & Nic! 

Next another face brush. This is again another Real Techniques brush, it is the Real Techniques Contour Brush (part of the set mentioned above). I love this brush for contouring (obviously), it gets under your cheek bones so well, it is a great shape, (slightly oval/tapered brush). It is so good at its job! But also a great multitask brush for highlighting the tops of your cheek bones! I wouldn't bronze with this brush, only contour, due to the size! 

This is another bronzer brush. I found this brush set on Dress Link. It is a Tapered Kabuki Brush. I use this for bronzing. Because of its size it can get in the hollows of your cheek bones, but is also good for general bronzing! I will try find the link for these because they did come in a set of 5. 

Concealer. I use another one from Dress Link, a smaller size to the face brushes, but the same cuts. This is a Angled Rounded Eye Brush. This is great for blending the concealer so it is seamless and doesn't look like you have a patch of white under your eye, then I go in with my ring finger to blend further. It is so soft and fits greatly under the eye area. 

Next is a setting brush. I never really powder the whole of my face I only powder certain areas. I only really set my under eye concealer and T-zone. I actually use this brush for the wrong purpose. It's the Bobbi Brown Eye Blender Brush, I just find it fits really nicely under my eye when I set my concealer, and also when I set my T-zone it is good for that! It is a fluffy tapered brush so it is so so so good at setting (blending) specific areas. I love it, and I also love it to blend eyeshadows and for powder highlighter! 

Brows. Everyone needs a good brow brush! I have the Pixi Lash&Brow Brush. This is basically a spoolie. You can't really say much about this, it combs through the brows well and thats it. What more can you expect from a brow brush! 

Eyeshadows. For packing on the colour I like to the the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush (part of a set). It is a good size, a flat fluffy brush. Also it is good for blending but I tend to use something else. For blending I like to use from the eye shadow set I mentioned earlier, the Rounded Eye Brush, it is a great size for blending colours through the crease and a great all-rounder! 

For applying eyeshadows to my lower lash line I like to vary it between two brushes. Both from the Real Techniques Eye Set (mentioned above), it's the Brow Brush and Accent Brush. I use the brow brush more for if I want to have a defined line, but if I want a smokeyer lower lash line I use the accent brush.

I know this isn't a brush but it is a tool! Eyelash curlers are a must for me, they lengthen and curl my lashes, I use the H&M Eyelash Curlers and mine are in rose gold. A staple every girl should have! 

All these brushes wash so so well, they also dry back to their normal shape, if you want to see how I clean my brushes check out this post, and if you want to see the full version of the Dress Link brushes check out that post too.
