I love makeup, it’s a creative outlet for me so having good tools is important to me. I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money on makeup brushes to get good quality ones that will last a long time if you take care of them. Below are my favorite makeup brushes and what I use each one for.

Sonia Kashuk 104 This is my preferred brush for powdered blush. It doesn’t pick up too much powder.

Morphe M310 I actually have two of these fan brushes- one is for apply highlighter to my cheekbones, and the other I use for lightly contouring my nose with bronzing powder. I like to use this brush for both of those applications because the brush does not pick up too much product and it very lightly applies it but precisely applies it.

Flat Eyeshadow Brush I primarily use this brush to apply highlighter just under my eyebrows on my brow bone. It would also be great for creating a cut crease eyeshadow look.

Morphe M405 I use this brush for applying bronzer. It’s really precise but blends well.

Sonia Kashuk Large Powder Brush I use this brush for both setting powder and wiping away any fallout I get under my eye from applying eyeshadow.

Morphe M165 This brush can be used for brows or eyeliner, I personally just use it for eyeliner. I like a really soft eyeliner look so I use this with a dark eyeshadow to accomplish that.
