Don't Brush This Off: Our Top 5 Makeup Brush Picks



Who needs makeup brushes anyway? That’s what we thought when we first began wearing makeup. Believe it or not we were one of “those people”. You know, the ones who apply most of their makeup with their hands? Dabbing on our foundation and eye shadow leaving our hands to look like a 5 year old doing a finger painting in art class. When we finally tried using makeup brushes, our makeup application truly changed for the better.


Nowadays, the beauty blender has become a big hit with makeup artist and makeup gurus alike. Although this teardrop shaped sponge has also beat our faces to the Gods, it hasn’t fully replaced a good makeup brush. This is why we are introducing our top 5 makeup brush picks.


Brush Pick # 5: The Spooly



When it comes to slaying your eyebrows and fluffing those lashes, the spoolie brush CANNOT be beat. This brush was made to give your brows that natural brushed up look that’s been trending across social media for a few years now. Spoolies also help with taming you’re lashes by removing clumps of mascara. Or in our case, that leftover lash glue. Having well-groomed brows and lashes help to frame the face. Don’t end up making our rookie mistakes with you brows just like we painfully chronicled in this post: My Dark Twisted Eyebrows (Makeup Fail) . Click on the link to take a look at this post if you need tips on how to slay your brows.



Brush Pick # 4: The Fan Brush


In order to achieve those snatched cheekbones, noses, and jawlines….bring out the fan hunty. Fan brushes allow you to get into the crevices of your face that other makeup brushes can’t reach. They also lay flat allowing for the perfect application of highlighter to brush on smoothly along the side of your cheekbone.


Fan brushes also come in different sizes and can be used for different things. For example, a large fan brush can be used for highlighting your full face.

Who doesn’t want to glow? ✨



Brush Pick # 3: The Concealer Brush

While many makeup gurus use their beauty blenders to blend down their concealer, we still stand by our trusty concealer brush. This brush is small making it perfect for blending in concealer in tricky areas of the face such as the under eye area. It is also the perfect brush to spot correct any blemishes that you may want to correct and conceal on your face. If you invest in one of these brushes in addition to your beauty blender, you can achieve an even more flawless application.



Brush Pick # 2: The Stippling Brush



This brush has multiple purposes which is why it has made it to the number 2 spot on our list. You can apply blush, foundation, and bronzer with this brush. When using this brush, all you need is a simple touch and gentle hand.


The bristles on this brush are somewhat prickly but not in a way that would poke through the skin. Patting on your foundation gently with this brush will help your foundation to melt into your skin and blend evenly over any spots and blemishes. You can purchase this brush at just about any place that sells cosmetics. If you don’t already have one, we highly recommend it.


Brush Pick # 1: The Eyeshadow Blending Brush


Yes, our number one makeup brush pick on this list is the Eyeshadow Blending Brush. We just looove a good cut crease. This small tapered brush helps to blend eyeshadow onto your lid as well as into your crease for a flawless and smooth look. It is recommended that when using this brush you should apply your eyeshadow in a windshield wiper motion into the crease of your eyelid.


There are many different types of blending brushes as well as different sizes to help you to achieve whatever desired crease color and look that you desire. If your makeup kit doesn’t include at least one eyeshadow blending brush, sis….what are you doing? Take our word for it and grab one from your favorite beauty store fast!!!


There are so many brushes that we love that didnt make our list this time around but .... we're thinking of a part 2. Leave us a heart down below if you also love these brushes and comment on what are some of your favs.
