Top 5 Makeup Brushes

Everyone has their obsessions. You already now I'm crazy about bags, but when it comes to makeup, I go crazy about brushes. I bet some of you can identify with me. I don't know what is it about them that makes me so excited.. maybe it's because of the miracles they make. I mean, does anyone even still uses their hands to apply foundation? I don't think so. Brushes make wonders and you can never have enough of them. Period. Over the last couple of years I've tried many and came to a conclusion that these are my top 5 brushes that I use on a daily basis and cannot live without.


1. MAC ROUND BLENDING BRUSH

This is my holy grail of eye brushes. It's perfect for evenly applying eyeshadow across the lid, softening the lines and blending color into the crease. It has medium soft bristles that are shaped in a perfect dome and its pointed tip allows you a bit more precision. This is definitely my go-to everyday brush, that I use for applying and blending color into the crease.

2. REAL TECHNIQUES DUO-FIBER FACE BRUSH

This duo-fiber brush comes in Limited Edition Duo Fiber Collection. Its tapered synthetic bristles are perfect for building color from light to dense and creating that air-brushed finish. It can be used for lightweight application of loose powder or blush. I love its soft bristles that give the perfect results. I usually use it for applying blush on my cheeks, but it also works well for finishing the look with loose powder.

3. REAL TECHNIQUES DUO-FIBER CONTOUR BRUSH

I've been looking for a good contour brush for so long and then finally found this one from the duo fiber set. It's great for contouring and sculpting cheekbones and its duo-fibers allow you to slowly build color from light to dense. It works perfectly with liquid or powder products. Sheer light fibers at the top pick up makeup and dense dark fibers help you to blend evenly.

4. MAC 208 ANGLED BROW BRUSH

They say eyebrows are a frame of the face, so it's important to put them in a perfect shape. You cannot do it better than with Mac's brow brush. It has a precise angled tip and is designed to be used to define, line or fill brows with the great precision. You can use it with powders or creams and even for lining the upper lash line with gel eyeliner, since flat angled brush makes it very easy to control the line you want to create.

5. SIGMA F80 FLAT KABUKI BRUSH

If you're still applying foundation on your face with hands, you should really consider stop doing it right now and use kabuki brush instead. This brush makes miracles and creates even, airbrushed base on your face. It has a flat top with densely packed fibers that are perfect for applying lyquid or cream foundation. I use it on a daily basis and can't imagine applying my liquid foundation without it.
