What are your go to brushes for the application of foundations and concealers? What brushes give you that airbrushed look of flawless skin?
And! What brushes are you lusting after for these uses? Any that you are saving up for or just can't wait to get your hands on or try? =]

At the moment I use:
---Sephora Pro Airbrush #57 concealer brush - to blend/buff eye area, nose area, and around mouth
---Sephora Pro Airbrush #56 foundation brush - for fundation application
---Tarte Airbrush finish Bamboo foundation brush - for blending/buffing everything
---MAC 217 - for concealer application
And occaionally I will use my Real Techniques brushes, but the ones above are the ones I have been reaching to every day and would be lost without thus far.
Brushes I am dying to try:
Any face brush by Zoeva, any face brush by Sedona Lace, the MAC 187, and the Shiseido foundation brush. Also, maybe the Sigma synthetic face brushes. I've been interesting in finding more brushes lately that are dense and give full coverage, and those that can buff/blend to provide an airbrush finish.

It's just so hard to decide which one to buy next! Especially when there are sooo many different styles and brands!!

Totally understand Emily! You should try Real Technique brushes, which you can find at Ulta and are affordable. Many beauty gurus swear by the buffing brush and I love it as well for applying foundation! I really recommend you check it out. :)

I love the MAC 187 for foundation.
Most of the time I end up using my finger for concealer. A classic flat top concealer brush also works well (I'm just too lazy to use mine!)
I'm excited about trying the beautyblender and see whether it's actually worth the price & hype :)
