I did
a “My Favourite Makeup Brushes” post way back last year and although all those
brushes are still in daily use, there are a few more that I use regularly so I
thought I would do a little update!
I
really didn’t like this brush to begin with and it sat unloved in my brush pot
because I found it left a streaky finish with my usual liquid foundations. That
all changed when I got the Vincent Longo Water Canvas Crème-to-Powder foundation* recently. I found the sponge that came with the foundation didn’t
give me enough coverage and my usual fail safe Beauty Blender had the same
problem so I dug around for this and it works perfectly! It helps build up
coverage and it’s so easy to work into the skin because the bristles are so
tightly packed.
This
is a brush that I used to use daily about 3 years ago for blush until I felt it
was putting a little too much blush on my cheeks and I switched to an angled
blush brush (how many times can I say blush and brush in a sentence). Nowadays,
I much prefer this as a bronzer brush and I love it with NARS Laguna and
Charlotte Tilbury Bronze in particular!
As
someone who has a tendency to be a little heavy handed with blush this brush is
a godsend for blending! If I have gone overboard it does such good job of
helping to fade it a little and make my blush look more natural!
Morphe B8 Badger Deluxe Fan Brush
With
my fear of highlighter, this brush means that anytime I apply it, it’s subtle exactly
how I like it! The brush is very soft and I would prefer the bristles to be a
little stiffer but it does the job and it didn’t break the bank!
I've been
using this brush to highlight my inner corner and brow bone and really like it!
It’s quite stiff and allows you to be quite precise too so is great for applying
the likes of the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows all over the lid!
This
has replaced my beloved RT angled shadow brush as my preferred eyeshadow
blender brush now! It is the perfect size and just makes blending so easy and I
now have three of these babies! I also have a full review of the set these last two brushes came in here!
This
brush makes applying Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade a doddle! It’s quite a stiff
angled brush with synthetic bristles and it gives such a fine line it makes it
so easy to apply hair like strokes through my brows! I love that it has a
spoolie on one end too which makes it perfect to travel with!
So
that’s my updated favourite brushes! I have to add that all these brushes wash
up really well even though they are from different brands and I haven’t noticed
any of them shedding which is another bonus!
As you
are reading this I’m on holiday for my birthday (which is tomorrow!) but I’ll
be doing my best to keep up with comments so do leave me one below and let me know
if you have any of these brushes and what do you think of them!
