I have always used drug store brushes and I'm noticing my make up never looks flawless as far as foundation goes and I want to start building up my eyeshadow brushes as well.


what are the best makeup brushes?
Foundation, eyeshadow, blush brushes, etc.

Thank you ladies!

I had an expert beauty artist at ULTA tell me that the only makeup brushes worth buying were the IT COSMETICS. She said "honestly, bare minerals take em or leave em"

You should try Sonia Kashuks foundation brush in target! I believe it's #14.

I believe the number is wrong lol
But her #28 eyeshadow brush is good (:
I personally use the Sephora Pro dome stippling brush

No offense to Claire, but Ulta "expert beauty artists" often get a kick back from a brand it they well their stuff, assuming that they don't actually work for the brand itself. A friend of mine who worked there straight up said that high-end brushes, unless they were a unique shape or formulation of bristles, were just junk. You were better off getting EcoTools synthetic brushes than wasting the money on a HE synthetic brush. Now if you want natural hair, that's probably going to be more expensive for quality of materials, but that's just how it is.

My current favorites that I've been reaching for a lot lately have been my Urban Decay Optical Blurring brush, It cosmetics double sided concealer brush, MAC #217, Lancome #3 and #16, UD 24/7 blending brush and their double sided eyeshadow brushes that came with my Naked palettes. I also got a beauty blender for the first time recently and have been really loving it so far compared to when I tried off brand "dupes" in the past.
