Makeup Essentials: Brushes



hi beautifuls!

so my one big obsession when it comes to makeup is a good makeup brush! (let's face it i have like 20 million makeup obsessions but we'll leave that for another post lol)



as every makeup guru knows- the brush is really the key to every great beauty look. it can really make or break the final face- giving you a cakey finish versus a flawless finish- SSOOOOO IMPORTANT!



with that said- my top 5 brush brands are:


Coastal scents (www.coastalscents.com)


i looooooove these brushes. the bristles have the perfect firmness and they don't shed :) there's really nothing bad i can say about them. PLUS they come in PINK!!!!


Sonia Kashuk (available @ Target)

the quality of this brush is amazing. they last a very very long time. their biggest pro is that no matter how many times you use and wash them they stay exactly the way they were when you first got them- major bonus!


NYX (www.nyxcosmetics.com)

the shadow brushes are their best product. they are the perfect size for spreading and blending the shadows on your lid. i'm not a fan of their face brushes though :/ i feel like they're too flimsy. i prefer a firmer brush but nonetheless they're great.


ECO Tools (drugstores)


whenever i'm in the mood to pamper my skin these are the brushes i reach for. they're unbelievably soft and smooth, you never want to stop applying your products lol. this is a great brush to use to set your makeup bc it won't cake on your setting powder but lightly swipe it on. loooove these :)


the best thing about these brushes are that they very inexpensive but give you a very high quality brush- what can be better than that???

i'm also purchasing my first Sigma Brush set (www.sigmamakeup.com) bc i've heard nothing but great things about them from the makeup community. i'll let you know how those are when i get them- so excited :0




i hope this helped. if you get to try any of them let me know what you think!!

until next time...

xoxo
