The Only 9 Makeup Brushes You Need. Period.
by The Candidly Team
Can’t there just be one perfect set of brushes where we can just buy them and them don’t have to think about brushes ever again?
No. Apparently there can’t.
With brush sets, you end up only using 3 out of the 10 brushes and feel like a chump.
So, at first this list will annoy you. Because every brush is from a different site and you will initially hate us for it. But then, as if by magic, once you pull the trigger and starting using them, you’ll have the only brushes you’ll ever want or need, and your makeup life will finally come together in a way that feels fun, and not like a confusing nightmare.
You truly don’t need a million brushes. You just need these.
BONUS SECTION ONLY FOR TYPE A WOMEN WHO MADE IT THIS FAR:
1. If you just want ONE do-it-all brush, THIS brush is it. It’s a splurge, but it works for foundation, cream blush, cream bronzer, blending literally anything to utter perfection. The price is tough, but it’s four brushes in one. And you’ll have it forever.
2. If this entire list scares you, start with THIS little set. It’s cheap and it’s good.
3. If you just sort of can’t with only using a puff and not a brush for powder, THIS ONE is our favorite. And it’s smartly short for tossing in a tiny makeup bag to throw in your purse. Why are so many brushes so preposterously long?
4. Honestly you don’t need anything for your brows except for a big batch of THESE on Amazon and THIS, the most amazing spackle to make any brows look huge and bushy.
