Believe it or not, it's not as complicated of a process as it seems. This is a list of my ride or die brushes, with a brief description of each.I do not believe in spending ungodly amounts of money on brushes but I do believe in buying staple brushes for your collection. You would be shocked, how a good brush can pull together everything so seamlessly.
Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki
If you are going to buy 2 brushes for your entire collection make sure this is one of them! This brush applies your liquid foundation like butter. Your skin will look airbrushed. I'm talking Victoria Secret Angel flawless skin.
Run…do not walk to purchase this brush. I have heard other companies have similar brushes but I love what Sigma stands for. They provide wonderful products but also have not once wavered with their customer service. I purchased my F80 about 2 years ago, one day I noticed the synthetic hairs coming out. It was not applying my foundation as beautiful as it once was. I contacted Sigma and asked if this was normal or if I should purchase a new brush. The customer service rep did not ask me a single question, all I was told was to expect a new brush within 3-4 business days. For that, I will always stay with Sigma.
F80 Kabuki
Morphe G7 Rounder Brush
This brush is wonderful for applying bronzer, blushes, blending out your contour, it's basically a jack of all trades. The softness of this brush really is amazing and the blending capabilities are endless. This a staple in my collection.
Side note... if ordering online isn't your thing and you want something immediately, try the Real Techniques large powder brush. You can even save a few dollars with that. Both brushes hold the same power and can make your face buffed out and beautiful.
Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush
This is the other one of 2 brushes you must own! This and the Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki are game changers. When I use this brush my eyes look perfect - well I like to think so! It can be used to softly dust on your favorite sheer shadow or it can be used to apply and blend out the boldest eye. I am forever a life long partner with this baby!
Sigma E30 Pencil Brush
This is a brush that I never thought I would need - I was so wrong!
This is a very small, dense, accurate brush. The main use is to smoke out a bottom lash line. However, this can also be used for packing color on a certain area of the lid or your crease. It is very precise. Once I purchased this brush, my eyes were taken to a whole new level. When smoking out the bottom lash line, it doesn't always mean dark colors. On days when I want a simple soft look, I take a soft brown shadow and run it all along the lower lash line. It some how pulls everything together for your look.
Do you need this brush? No.
Do you want this brush? One hundred million percent yes. Truly, you will never know how you lived without it.
Morphe B80 Pointed Crease Brush
This brush has densely packed, tapered bristles for a precise look. This brush gives you the ability to create definition with your shadows. I love this for creating a heavy cut crease look or for something as simple as adding a pop of color for an everyday look.
Morphe B75 Flat Liner Brush
This brush really is pretty self explanatory. It's a wonderful brush to create a tight line across the upper or bottom lid. When I want to move things along a bit faster, this is used as a replacement for my pencil brush. Use small, buffing strokes and buff out the bottom lash line. Is it as soft and precise as a pencil brush? No. But it really gets the job done when in a bind.
Beautyblender
This seems like an odd product but I cannot imagine my life without it. Sounds dramatic, I know, but once used - you will be hooked! Just like a typical house sponge, this is meant to be used damp. I apply my foundation with the BB to achieve a soft dewy look. My under eye concealer never has looked better because of the BB. It creates a beautiful highlighted under eye if that's the look you are going for. If not, it works wonders with a light dab on concealer.
Naturally, I was hesitant when this was purchased. I really thought it was a gimmick, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Who ever developed the BB knew what they were doing! I have purchased less expensive blenders and the out come was not even close to what the original BB can give you.
Happy shopping loves!
