Before we talk about brushes, i just want everyone to know the difference between Natural hair brushes (goat hair) and synthetic brush hairs.
Natural hair brushes will always look and feel like real hair, and just like our own hair, our hair will absorb oils, or any types of liquids. So for brush talk, the natural hair brushes will absorb some of your product if its liquid. so thats why i use those for bronzer and blush not foundation or concealer brushes.Synthetic brushes are made out of non-absourbent nylon or polyester. so these brushes will not absorb any liquid, so that why i use them for foundation and concealer, because it will literally take the product you have and transfer all of it to your face.
1. Foundation Brushes
- this brush is a short kabuki brush that is very stiff because of the synthetic brush hairs. This is what i most used foundation brush because its flat and you cant literally pat the foundation into your skin and have it be more coverage because of the way this applies. The size Isn't to bug or to small. so doing your face with this brush wont tae long because its medium sized. i use this with liquid,cream, and mousse foundation and it applies all of them the best ever!
If you don't have this brush i recommend it highly!
$18.00 (they also have round & angled shapes)
Real Techniques Expert face brush
- this brand of brushes is my favorite! i won almost all of them and they are cheap! compared to mac and Sephora brushes!
they all are synthetic brushes. This one in particular it a very short kabuki brush. Which makes it perfect for applying foundation because it gives you more coverage. The only thing it that its very small in width, so it'll will take longer to apply foundation then the medium sized brushes by sigma. (i also use this brush to contour my face and pat on concealer)

Ulta always has these brushes for buy one get on half off almost every month!

-this brush is perfect for that airbrushed look because of its duo fiber brush hair. Duo fiber mean the 2 different lengths of the hairs. so all the product will stay in the white hairs, while the black hairs below provide it stiffness to apply accurate. i love this for cream foundations, and really watery foundation or even BB creams! its kind of small but perfect around nose, mouth and eyes.

-this brush is very big so it will take less time to apply foundation.
Technique of stippling!
is to grab very little foundation at the tips of each white hairs. (so looks like little dots on each end) and to pat that on face. so just like megapixels on a camera its all dots when you zoom in. but when you look at it at a far it looks like a perfect surface. Same idea here! keep getting foundation and the ends until all the dots on your face are together to make a perfect surface. DO NOT RUB THE BRUSH AROUND ON FACE THAT WILL DEFEAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE STIPPLING TECHNIQUE!
$6.95
2. Powder Brushes
-this brush it so big and very dense!
it also has duo fiber brush hairs, so it wont waste any powder that it on this brush. i love to use this brush with pressed powders, because it picks up the product well and when you sweep it al over the face it gives a very smooth look! it takes like 20 seconds to do you face because this is so big! i love it, and everyone needs this!
$9.99
- this brush is synthetic, and its flat! which means you can pat this on your face instead of rubbing on powder. I use this when i need a more flawless and more coverage because you can take any kind of powder and pat in onto face without disrupting the liquid underneath! i have 3 of these! because i love them so much
and the best past is, is the price!
$3.00

Bare Minerals Handy Buki
- this brush is made out of goat hair and its a round kabuki style brush. Since this is a powder the hairs wont absorb any product!
i love this because you can really buff in the powder to your face because its round and small!
i especially love this with mineral powders because it gives the most flawless, full coverage look! (this brush is made my mineral loose powder)
$20.00
3. Blush Brushes
- brush hairs made out of goat hair, and its very small but wide.
so i love this when i want my blush to be in a certain spot and very concetrated. Because it is so mall it wont blend it out to far down or up, so you get a perfect blush look on your cheeks!

- this brush it almost exactly like the real techniques one above this, but this is natural hairs!

- this brush is perfect for blending out any blush or bronzer because its fluffy, angled and natural hairs.

- the reason why i love this brush is because t long natural hairs, so because its not stiff it wont put the bronzer to thick or too much product. this will blend the product out because its long hairs and natural hairs.
This is made for the foundation, but its the perfect size to bronze the whole face!

5. Concealer Brushes
- this is a flat synthetic brush, i love to use this to pat on concealer to large areas of the face that needs more coverage.
Perfect size and doesn't shed.
-this came in my naked or naked 2 palette.
this is made to apply eyeshadow, but i think its better for concealer, because its short and stiff.
i use this when i use concealer to "carve out" or give my eyebrows that sharp lines underneath!
*you can't buy this brush separate only in the naked palettes! :(
-i love this brush because its supposed to be like your finger tip shape to give the best results. i use this under my eyes to blend out any concealer. you need very little because this brush blends it out amazing! and the round tip helps with getting by your inner tear duct and also around the nose! Must have brush!

i use this brush to set my concealer. So with a loose powder.
this is very small and is also due fiber so it picks up the powder and applies it so smooth and makes it look flawless!
