Hello everyone!
So, here I am again with another post that's a little bit different and I'm hoping helpful, to someone out there. My most used make-up brushes. I love make-up brushes and I am beginning to build up quite the collection, but these are some of my ultimate favourites that I use every time I apply my make-up. Excuse the state of my brushes, I wasn't going to wash them just for the purpose of taking pictures and it shows that they are well loved!
From left to right.
Real Techniques Base Shadow brush - available here - I love using this for many things, mainly applying eye shadow all over the lid as the name suggests, but I also find it great for smoking out an eye look and applying a touch of colour just under the lower lash line. It is small enough to fit and fluffy so it keeps the look smoky and subtle, and even for days when my ultimate blending brush is in real need of a wash, I use this! Absolutely love it!
Zoeva 227/ luxe soft definer brush - available here - Zoeva are one of my favourite brands for brushes so when I saw this Rose Golden collection I just couldn't resist. I do have a post here about the whole collection with a few of them mentioned again in this post. This is my ultimate blending brush, the perfect size with the perfect shape and so soft! I use it mainly for blending but when I'm feeling lazy I just dust a bit of shadow over my lid with this and it is perfectly blended straight away!
Fan brush - I have no idea of the brand of this brush or where you can find this exact one, but most make-up brush brands have an alternative to this so they won't be difficult to find. I use this brush for one thing and one thing only, highlighting. I love highlighting, especially with powder and this makes it so much easier and also more precise. The thin fan shape make it easy to sweep your chosen highlight across the tops of your cheek bones or down the bridge of your nose in one simple movement without apply too much product.
Real Techniques Blush Brush - available here - This to me is one of those brushes that I find myself using for so many different things, applying powder all over my face, applying blush, setting concealer and mostly applying bronzer. It is the perfect shape to apply bronzer all over the face, my absolute favourite make-up brush that I own!
Zoeva 127 Luxe Sheer Cheek - available here - This brush is again from the Zoeva Rose Golden collection. The shape and size of this brush makes it perfect for applying a pop of colour to the apples of your cheeks. Just as with any other Zoeva brush that I own, it is so soft and luxurious and makes applying your blush an absolute pleasure.
Zoeva 317 Wing Liner Brush - available here - Another from the Zoeva Rose Golden Collection! I use this brush for lining the upper lash line and smoking out any shadow that lines the upper lash line. The main purpose I use this brush for it to fill in my eyebrows when I am using powder. It is the perfect shape for it and as it is tiny it gives you a lot more control and precision.
Zoeva 142 Concealer Buffer Brush - available here - Again, a brush from the Rose Golden Collection by Zoeva. This brush does exactly what it says on the tin and that is what I love to use it for, buffing in concealer. I prefer to use this on concealer around my face, for example, around my nose, on my forehead, chin etc. I prefer to use it on my face rather than under my eyes because it is quite a sturdy and firm brush and I like to be gentle on the skin under my eyes. For buffing in concealer, the domed shape makes it perfect and so easy to work with. The small size makes it good for getting into the little nooks and crannies like around your nose.
Speak to you soon,
