You can give your selfie arm a rest - this KVD palette will capture and enhance all your best angles. What We Don’t Love: There is some fallout. Of course, your set can include more if you like creating more intricate looks, but these five basics will always get the job done.What We Love: This refillable palette offers six super blendable and pigmented shades, all with the same skin-brightening formula. In terms of what type of brushes your makeup brush set should have, we recommend having at least the basics-a foundation brush, concealer brush, two eye shadow brushes (one for blending and one flat brush for lid application), and a blush brush. Synthetic brushes also tend to be easier to clean product out of for this same reason. Synthetic brushes are also denser and provide more of an even application because they don't have pores in the strands like natural hair brushes do. Natural hair brushes are better for powder- or talc-based products like setting powder or blush, while synthetic brushes are better for cream or liquid products like foundation and concealer. This is something important to pay attention to, especially if you're vegan and prefer not to use real animal hair in your brushes. You can opt for natural hair brushes (made from animal hair) or synthetic-bristle brushes. The first thing you'll want to look for is the type of bristles your brush set has.

(But that is just me and the brushes I tend to use way more than the flat foundation brushes).'Įveryone's preferences are different when it comes to makeup brushes. The only adjustment I would make personally with this set is, omitting the foundation brush for either a concealer or a detailing brush instead.

I highly recommend if you're looking for a well-made travel brush set. This set has went with me on 5 different trips now and they work just as well as the day I received them. Their bristles are super soft and these brushes last forever.'- Judi Gabbay, celebrity makeup artistĬustomer Review: 'I purchased this set almost 3 years ago, and I still use these brushes daily!

The sets below are always a hit-with both makeup artists and buyers. Each artist has their own unique taste and preferences when it comes to brushes, and they know best because, well, they're the ones who use them the most. Not only did I take a peek at what brushes they'd personally give to their friends this holiday season, but I also made sure the brush sets they chose were a hit with shoppers, too.įor their best-rated picks (that are also holiday-gift ready), keep scrolling. The arsenals of celebrity makeup artists are always filled with the best foundations, primers, eye shadow palettes, and, of course, brushes. That's why I've done both this time around. Sure, I get a lot of recs from celebrity makeup artists as well, but to make a thoroughly educated purchase, it's a good idea to get a well-rounded perspective. One type of item I always scroll through the reviews on before buying is a makeup brush. I'm not the only one who religiously reads reviews before making a purchase, right? TBH, reviews often push me to smash the order button, but they can also stop me in my tracks completely if they aren't looking so positive.
