The Necessary Tools

There are so many make-up brushes out there it’s hard to know which are the best. I have tried many brushes and seem to always go back to two lines; the Real Techniques brush set and the Bdellium Tools.

Not only are their brushes easy to work with, but they are also extremely affordable with prices starting as low as $6. After trying many stippling brushes including MAC 187 Duo Fiber Face Brush and Laura Mercier Finishing Brush, I have noticed that the Real Techniques brush shown here allows for your tinted moisturizer to be evenly applied all over your face with just the right amount of coverage for every day use. I cannot express how much I absolutely love this brush.

I absolutely love their Precision Kabuki Airbrush Effect 957 brush and use it to put on foundation when I want more coverage. This brush buffs your foundation into your skin making it look amazingly flawless. This, similar to Real Techniques, is a very affordable brush line with prices ranging from $8 – $15 per brush.
