Hi Beauties,
I know my post is long overdue, am glad I finally did this. You Guys have requested I do a post on makeup brushes and its uses. Here is the list of top 10 makeup brushes every girl should own. Let’s get started with the eye brushes!
EYE BRUSHES

Eye Shader Brush

 This brush is used for packing colour on the lid. You can also use the tip of the brush to smudge colour under the lash line, or to create a defined line in the crease.


Stiff Dome Brush
 This brush is great for feathering out colour to create a Smokey eye, or blending out the crease. The bristles are stiff, making it easy to move the eye shadow where you want it.
Pencil Brush
 This pencil-like brush is perfect for precision shading on the lid, in the crease of the eye, or along the lash line. This brush can also be used for smudging liner along the lash line, or darkening the outer-v for a dramatic look.
Soft Dome Brush
 This dome shaped brush has very soft bristles that make it ideal for blending out any harsh lines below the brow bone. This brush can also be used for blending out concealer under the eye to help hide dark circles and bags.
Bent Liner Brush
 Designed specifically for applying gel eyeliner, this brush has a bent head that lays perfectly on the top of the lashes, and glides with ease. The pointed tip helps create a fool proof line that will have even the beginners pulling off a stunning cat eye.
Dual Ended Brow Brush
 With this brush, you get double for your money! This dual ended brush has a spoolie on one end allowing you to brush through your brows. The other end has an angled brush which is ideal for effortlessly filling in your brows.


FACE BRUSHES
Angled Contour Brush
 There are many of these on the market today in a various array of shapes and sizes. With this particular angled contour brush, you can swipe the brush downward diagonally from your cheekbone, and in one fluid motion achieve a flawless application.

Cheek Highlighter Brush
 The cheek highlighter brush is completely optional, but the feathery, soft bristles give a very nice finish to any product used with it. This brush is very easy to use when applying a highlighter to the top of the cheekbones. You can also use the cheek highlighter brush with cream blushes to stipple the blush onto the cheeks.

Foundation Stippling Brush
The foundation stippling brush is perfect for those of you who love a full coverage look to your foundation. The large flat head is specifically made for the foundation to be stippled onto the face. This technique assures there are no streaks in the foundation, resulting in a flawless look to the skin.

Flat Foundation Brush
The flat foundation brush is optional. This brush is best used to apply highlighter to the top of the cheekbones. At times this brush can leave streaks in your foundation, so be careful when using it.

So there you have it, my top 10 makeup brushes! As a beginner looking to start your collection, or as a makeup guru looking to expand, these brushes are great for everyone. 

However having correct brushes can make a difference in your makeup application... As always, I hope everyone stays happy and healthy... Cheers!!!
