While everyone assumes that a basic
brand of makeup brush usually applies makeup just as well as a name brand will,
they’re wrong. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve applied make up with a
“dupe” brush and ended up with streaks and even the hairs from the brush on my
face; It’s better just to go to MAC, Sephora, or even your local beauty
retailer and purchase an expensive, sturdy set of makeup brushes. Recently I
went out and bought a few more brushes for my ever growing collection, and fell
in love with one of them. It was the Makeup Forever brush #108. It’s a large
foundation brush (also good for tinted moisturizers) which will not leave
behind streaks and brush hairs, but will leave your face looking flawless. I’ve
moved it to my everyday brush selection because I love it that much.
Other makeup brushes I purchased
that day include:
- MAC #191 – Square Foundation Brush
- MAC #239 – Eye Shading Brush
- MAC #187 – Face Brush
- MAC #263 – Small Angle Brush
- MAC #168 – Large Angled Contour Brush
- MAC #150 – Large Powder Brush
- MAC #204 – Lash Brush
- MAC #215 – Medium Shader Brush
- MAC #212 – Flat Definer Brush
- MAC #224 – Tapered Blending Brush
- MAC #287 – Eye Shadow Brush
The brush adventures will not stop
here for me; I’m obsessed with makeup brushes, and cannot resist trying out and
buying new brushes. One of my favorite ways to test out brushes is to go to
Sephora and get a 15 minute mini makeover. While the artist applies makeup I
always ask which brushes they’re using, and then purchase them after if I
really like the feel of them and the way it applies makeup to the skin.
