Makeup Brush Guide

Makeup brushes can be overwhelming. There are so many brushes for different things and it can be hard to figure out what their purpose is. Here is a guide to the top makeup brushes you need to achieve the flawless look you're looking for.
Foundation:

There are many techniques and brushes for applying your foundation. The most popular one is the flat top brush. Using a flat top brush with synthetic hair will give you a natural looking finish, which i'm sure is what everybody is aiming for. Every makeup artists favorite, and mine personally, is Sigma's Flat Kabuki. The synthetic hairs are going to grab all of the product and place it onto your skin, instead of soaking up most of it and wasting a ton of foundation. The brush makes it super easy to blend so you aren't left with you streaks on your skin. You will be left with naturally beautiful looking skin, fooling everybody that you have it!

Another technique for applying foundation is with a beauty blender. A beauty blender is one of the easiest ways to apply foundation or concealer. The beauty blender is a sponge that is going to hydrate your skin while applying, which is amazing for those with dry skin. All you do is put the sponge under running water, squeeze it about five to ten times until it grows, and then squeeze out the excess water with a towel. The beauty blender will blend out your concealer and foundation beautifully and make you look nice and hydrated!

Eyes:
There are so many different eye brushes but i'm only going to mention the two that I believe everyone should have in their kit, whether you are a beginner or professional.
Everyone should own a angle brush for eyeliner. An angled brush is for gel liner, which is the easiest liner to apply and has the best finish to it. The brushes small bristles are going to make your eyeliner go on smoothly and easily because you will be able to get right at the lash line. The angle of the brush is going to help you if you want to do a wing. Angle brushes are miracles when it comes to wings because the brush does almost all the work for you. My favorite is small angled brush by Sigma.

Another brush everyone should own is a blending brush. It is so important to blend out all your shadows so they don't look choppy. Blending out your shadows will give it a smooth natural look. My favorite brush for this is Sigma's Tapered Blending Brush.


The last brush is Sigma's Large Angled Contour . This brush can be used for blush and bronzer. It picks up the perfect amount of product and makes your skin look like you're blushing or like you got a nice natural tan, depending on what you're using the brush for.

Sigma brushes are high quality and are always compared to Mac Cosmetic brushes.

The best part about Sigma brushes are that they're half the price of Mac's brushes! If you're someone who doesn't do their makeup often or doesn't want to spend a lot of money, real techniques also has amazing brushes for a much cheaper price!
