7 Make-Up Brushes You Actually Need

Yes the stiff small brush and the soft small brush serve entirely different purposes. But, unless you’re a make-up artist investing in more than ten brushes is no longer an investment.  Here are the only ones you’ll need to highlight, blend and contour your face to perfection. 

The Powder Brush

This is the most common brush of all and is essential for adding blush, bronze, contouring and highlighting. The more you blend with this brush the better. Simply sweep across the areas you need colour.

Eyeshadow Brush

You know how Mila Kunis pulls off the perfect smokey eye? She’s not using her fingers to blend. Focus along the crease of your eye socket and the outer corners for definition.

The Lip Brush

Once you uncover the benefits of a lip brush, you'll never turn back. It applies lipstick with the kind of precision your lipstick bullet can't and it presses the pigments into your lips for lasting wear. 

The Flat Foundation Brush

Think of your face as a canvas. If you finger paint, the outcome won't be as even as using a brush. The tapered point also helps reach where your fingers can't. Avoid a streaky finish by brushing horizontally, then vertically.


The Concealer Brush

They have a slight pointed tip for spot application and a wider base to cover large areas. Use the brush tip to pat concealer into desired area until it melts into skin.

The Kabuki Brush

It pays to invest in a Kabuki brush, especially if you want to look airbrushed. Drop it into your loose powder, then tap off any excess before buffering the product into your face.

The Eyebrow/Eyeliner Brush
