My MUST HAVE Make Up Brushes.

Okay, so I have to admit I am a bit of a makeup brush addict. I have A LOT of brushes. Do I feel guilty about this? Nope. Not even slightly. In fact, I'm even going to give you a run down of my top favorite brushes to date. There's going to be a lot, so try and keep up! haha :)

FOUNDATION BRUSHES 

1. Real Techniques - Expert Face Brush 
  This brush was made by angels for the perfect flawless face, for 13 euro you cannot go wrong.

2. Real Techniques - Buffing Brush
  This brush comes in a set of 4 and retails for about 28.99 in boots, serious bargain!!

3.Sigma - F80 Flat Kabuki
  It is literally the most perfect foundation/stippling brush in all the world. LOVE.

4. Blank Canvas - F20
   This brush is brilliant. AND it comes in different colours, pink, purple and black. (I have all 3 colours.)

5. The Original Beauty Blender
  Technically not a brush, but this makes your foundation literally look like silk on your face. I got mine off LuxiBeauty. (This website has the most amazing stuff ever)

POWDER BRUSHES

1. Real Techniques - Big Fluffy Powder Brush
  This is just the right amount of fluffiness and bigness for an all over dusting of powder.

2. Real Techniques - Setting Brush
 Perfect for under eye concealer, or setting under eye concealer and for adding highlighter to the top of the cheekbones!

3. Blank Canvas - F22
I use this more so to apply my MAC StudioFix or to blend of my contour. It is beautifully soft! 

4. luxie-lush rose gold Stippling Brush
 This brush is beautiful for either foundation application or powder application, I like this for my Bare Minerals Foundation.

5. Real Techniques - Duo Fiber Face Brush
  This brush comes in a set, and the biggest is my favorite for loose setting powder. It is so soft and so beautiful!

EYESHADOW BRUSHES 

1. Real Techniques - Starter Kit
This set has 4 brushes in it, and retails for about 29 euro. I love all of the brushes in this set, they are a really good starter kit.

2. Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Angled Blender
 This brush is a must have for blending. It is just brilliant and so soft.

3. Crown Brush - Blending Fluff
Same as above, amazing blending brush, shadow applicator etc. and it's only like 5 euro!
 
4. Real Techniques - Nic's Picks
The eyeshadow brushes in this set are pretty fab. So are the face ones. Go and buy :)

5. Real Techniques - Shading Brush
I love this brush for adding shadow to the bottom of my eye, it is the perfect size!

CONCEALER BRUSHES 

1. Real Techniques - Angles Foundation Brush
I love using this brush for my contour just under my cheekbones, its the perfect shape and width. Makes it super easy to contour with!

2. The Original Beauty Blender
It just has so many uses! How could you not love it?!

3. Real Techniques - Core collection
The small brush labelled 'foundation brush' is the brush that I apply my Highlighting Concealer with when I contour & Highlight. It's the perfect shape and size for this job!

4. Crown Brush - C404
This brush is PERFECT for blending out your concealer. Love it. MUST HAVE!

5. LuxieBeauty - Angled Makeup Brush
This is just a perfect brush for whatever you want it for. Concealer, blending, eyeshadow etc.. it does it all!!


CONTOUR/BRONZING BRUSHES 

1. Real Techniques - Core Collection
The small brush labelled 'Cntour Brush' is perfect for dusting a bit of bronzer on your face to warm up your complexion.

2. Crown Brush - C405
This brish is excellent for adding a subtle contour or for applying blush, it is a multi use brush for sure!

3. Crown Brush - Pro Chisel Blush
This brush is PERFECT for contouring. It gets right in under the cheekbones, and is the perfect shape and size. It can be used with cream contouring or powder. I love this. Definitely a MUST have if you are into contouring.

4. Real Techniques - Blush Brush
This brush is fab for dusting bronzer onto your face without doing a strong contour. It is also great for applying blush!

5. Blank Canvas - F21 Contour Brush
This one is quite similar to the the Crown Brush C405 except that it is much more dense and thick. I would recommend this brush for applying cream contour as it is extremely dense. It applies the contour beautifully.

BROW BRUSHES 

1. Real Techniques - Starter Kit
I use the tiny round topped brush for setting my brows with my Benefit Browzings. Its the perfect size and shape, I prefer this over the brushes that come in the set because I feel like I have more control with the longer handle.

2. Blank Canvas - Double Ended Spoolie
I use this for my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow as the small angled brush is the perfect shape size and density. Also the other side is excellent for brushing through the brows before and after.

3. Benefit - Hard Angle
This brush is perfect for brow shaping and filling in. You actually get a small version of this in the Browzings set. I prefer the bigger one because I have more control over the brush. I have used this with my Dipbrow aswel and it works like magic!

HIGHLIGHTING BRUSHES

1. Real Techniques - Setting brush
As I mentioned above this brush is brilliant for setting under eye concealer, or applying a highlighter to the face.

2. Real Techniques - Duo Fiber Collection
The Brush labelled 'duo fiber contour brush' is the one I love to use for my highlighter on my cheekbones, down my nose and on my decliatage.

LIP BRUSHES 

I rarely use lipbrushes, I just dont like them. I only use a lip brush for my MAC - Ruby Woo because it is so matte it is very difficult to apply without a brush. The brush I use for this is the Real Techniques Retractable Lip Brush. It is pretty good, would defo recommend it. 

There you have it, my must have brushes. I definitely have a brush problem, I have so many but I still want more! I am absolutely loving Luxie Beauty Brushes at the moment, they are definitely a favourite of mine. Along with Real Techniques and Crown Brush. Check them out!
