MAKEUP BRUSH BREAKDOWN

MAKEUP BRUSH BREAKDOWN

OK. So, brushes are pretty much the bread and butter of makeup. Even an experienced makeup artist will have trouble doing makeup with crap brushes. LUCKILY good quality, high performing brushes don’t have to be incredibly expensive. There are several brands that have awesome brushes for a really good price. 

THE IMPORTANCE OF BRUSHES:

SO. Why is this SO SO SO important? Like I stated earlier: even the most experienced makeup artist in the world will have trouble doing makeup with crappy brushes. You may actually be better at makeup than you think you are — your brushes could be holding you back!

Good quality brushes will distribute product more evenly, keep pigment in tack, last longer, and (as long as you clean them correctly) will hold their shape well. Bad quality brushes often fall apart quickly, apply product more patchy and won’t blend evenly across your eye.

TRUE STORY: I had been using very poor quality brushes for a long time, and then a few years ago I bit the bullet and bought a high end brush set. I sat down to do my makeup, and when I was done, I actually gasped. NO I didn’t all of a sudden get better at makeup, I just used the right tools. My crease was well defined, my colors weren’t muddy, you could actually see my blend was several colors. Since that day, I have sworn never to use cheap brushes because they were all I could afford. There are other options  — GOOD OPTIONS — that don’t cost your right arm and do an amazing job.
