I just want to let you know that all opinions are my own and I may earn from qualifying purchases. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends!

Lots of girls make the mistake of splurging on expensive
makeup while doing without the right tools to apply them. You won’t see
professional makeup artists applying eye shadow with their fingers or using a powder
brush to apply blush—and for good reason! Using the right makeup tools and
brushes helps you make the most of your products and gives you better control
when applying them.

For novices, choosing from the vast array of different-sized
brushes can be a bit daunting. To start you off, I’ve narrowed down the
essentials to these nine brushes:

1. Foundation brush

 For a smooth and even application of liquid
foundations, BB creams or CC creams, a foundation      brush is a must! Dip your
brush on a pea-sized amount of product and blend with soft, downward  strokes.


2. Powder brush

For a matte, shine-free finish, a light and
even dusting of powder using a large powder brush with soft, fluffy bristles is
a must. You can use this type of brush for loose powders or with compact powder
foundations.
     3. Concealer brush

Avoid using your fingers when applying
concealer to blemishes or to the under eye area. Your finger will only serve to
irritate a zit further and pull unnecessarily on the sensitive skin around the
eye. Use a good-sized concealer brush with a rounded tip instead. I found this
super easy tutorial on how to use a concealer brush; you can check it by
clicking here.
4. Angled Eyebrow brush

Eyebrows are everything! Never leave the
house with un-groomed and sparse-looking brows. Avoid using pencils directly on
your brows but go for small angled brushes with firm bristles for better
control.

For super cute inexpensive brushes, you can check out Zalora’s make-up
brush collection from your favorite beauty brands.
      5. Eyeshadow brush

This medium-sized eyeshadow brush is great
for getting color on the lid and right along the crease and will work with
cream and powder types of eye shades.
      6. Eyeshadow blending brush

Also called a bullet brush, this fluffy
eyeshadow blending brush will get rid of any harsh lines and will give your
eyeshadow application a softer finish.
Proper care is key to making these brushes last. Store them
away in a bag or in a drawer to keep them away from dust and dirt. For tips on
how to properly clean your brushes, click here.
     7. Eyeliner brush
This small and versatile eyeliner brush is
great with gel or powder liners. The size and the angled design also make it
ideal for lining the tricky waterline.
      8. Blush brush

A blush is meant to be applied at precise
points on the apples of the cheek or right along the cheekbone, not all over
the cheeks! For that, you will need a perfectly-sized angled blush brush.
      9. Lip brush

Your lipstick will last longer and will bleed
less if you apply it with a good lip brush. Choose one with short enough
bristles so you’ll have better control when you do your cupid’s bow and the
corner of your lips.

Remember, practice makes perfect! Have fun experimenting
with these babies!

    I only have two kinds of brushes…toothbrush and hairbrush. Hahahaha! These 9 brushes are all too much for a plain Jane like me. I rarely use make up kasi (I don't know how and it can get expensive hehe). I'm just not used to it.

    i actually don't have any. hahaha. but i remember when i was a little girl, my mom sent me a set of make up brushes (i was living with my grannies in the province and she's in manila), i don't know why she sent me those but i had fun playing with it, it felt so soft. of course, back then, i didn't know what it was for, i thought those were toys! hihi!
