The number of makeup brushes(1) that exist on the market for a single makeup product, technique, or finish can be
overwhelming, especially when you have to decide on a specific shape, material, and brand. We’ve got you covered.
There’s no need to carry around an arsenal of brushes in every shape and size; just invest in the right makeup brushes to
help create a flawless makeup look (2) and save money in the long run by using fewer products.
When it comes to selecting the brush’s material, it’s important to keep in mind that natural brushes are better for dry
products, like blush and eyeshadow, and synthetic brushes are best suited for cream or liquid products, like concealer and
foundation. Here’s our edit of the ten essential makeup brushes that every woman should own.
Slide 1
The Foundation Stippling Brush
The foundation stippling brush is perfect for those who want full coverage as the large flat head is specifically made for
dabbing the formula onto the face. This technique assures that there are no streaks in the foundation.
