Consider this your go-to manual for finding the greatest brushes.We have everything you need, whether you want a beginner kit that won't break the bank or want to spend on a blending brush to upgrade your beauty kit.





How can I tell if the makeup brush's material is the right one?

According to Mumbai-based celebrity makeup artist Bianca Louzado, making a decision is made easy by adhering to a straightforward checklist. Use a synthetic brush for wet products like foundation or concealer and a genuine hair brush for dry products like powder, eyeshadow, and blush. Wet formulae are prone to absorb into real hair, resulting in product waste. Louzado continues, "A dual-fibre brush is fantastic since it can be used for a wet, cream, or dry product." When purchasing your beginner set, keep in mind that natural haired brushes are typically more expensive than synthetic brushes.


Which essential makeup brushes ought I to get first?

Rajput advises purchasing Real Techniques' brush set and eye brush set, which both contain five different brushes, to start your brush collection. A foundation brush ought to be one of your very first brushes. The tops of the greatest foundation brushes are flat. It leaves the skin smooth and even and effectively integrates the lotion, he continues. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and BareMinerals Beautiful Finish Brush are his two preferred flat top foundation brushes. Rajput advises placing a sample of foundation to your skin to assess the quality and blending capabilities of the brush if you decide to use a different brand and brush.


Louzado adds that she prefers Real Techniques and ELF Cosmetics for their affordable brushes. She adores Sigma for a reasonably priced set. All of these are ideal for a beginner who wants high quality but doesn't want to spend a lot of money on their first brushes. She additionally advises purchasing a beauty blender as part of a beginning set. It is a versatile blending sponge that enlarges when moist. Despite being designed for wet use, it can be applied to a variety of items. While dry, use it to bake the area around the eyes, and when wet, use it to apply foundation, concealer, and any cream-based cosmetics.

The M.A.C. Cosmetics foundation brushes are Rajput's favourite. My favourite brand of brushes, particularly the smaller foundation brushes, is M.A.C. Additionally, he makes use of and suggests Sephora Collections foundation brushes.


Eyeliner and eyeshadow brush (brush for makeup and eyeliner)

Rajput suggests M.A.C's 209 Eye Liner Brush as a high-quality eyeliner brush that is ideal for lining the eyes because of its precision-giving, fine-tipped hard end. "I always use Sigma's blending brush to blend eyeshadows."


Eye shadow brush

Rajput like using the Sephora Collection PRO Mixing Brush #27 for blending under-eye makeup.


Sculpting brush(Contouring brush)

The Ita Kabuki Brush from NARS is one of Louzado's most indulgent purchases for a contouring brush. It's comprised of silky-soft goat hair, which makes it perfect for precise contouring. The cheekbones, jawline, and nose are properly defined and sculpted, according to Louzado. The idea of a natural look, she continues, is to create an illusion of a shadow, not the synthetic mannequin-like contour that is popular on Instagram.





Makeup brush(Powder brush)

For powder-based cosmetics, Rajput advises using the Kryolan Ultra Powder Brush 9722. Because of the small weight of the bristles, your face will be finished evenly.

Louzado adores the Smith Cosmetics USA 211 Brow Brush for brows. She explains that the brushes have two fibres and may be used with either cream- or powder-based cosmetics.
