What Makeup Brushes Do You Actually Need?
As a makeup artist, I use so many different makeup brushes on my clients. But when it comes to me personally, I use a select few. I’m breaking down the basics and sharing my top 6 makeup brushes that you should have in your makeup bag for flawless application.

This firm shader brush is perfect for packing your eyeshadow all over your eyelid, under your eyebrow, and in the inner corner of your eye. It will provide you with a strong color payoff without all of the fallout.BLENDING | The Tapered Blending Brush
This tapered blending brush is the absolute best eye makeup brush for blending out your crease. It the perfect amount of firm and fluffy and will allow you more control when you’re blending so you get that soft gradient look when you’re transitioning colors from your lid to crease to brow bone.PRECISION | The Pencil Brush
