I've created a list of the top 7 makeup brushes that I think every woman that loves makeup should have! With these brushes you can create almost every makeup look! The ones in my list are considered holy grail makeup brushes by many beauty bloggers and makeup artists. Of course you don't have to have the exact ones that I'm going to show you. You can choose other similar ones with the same functionality that are cheaper in price.

So let's begin with the first brush:
Foundation Brush

Created by Samantha Chapman, one of the Pixiwoo sisters on YouTube, this is considered to be the No.1 brush for liquid foundation. The soft and dense bristles help so that you buff the foundation into your skin, without any streaks.

Blush Brush

This brush was inspired by traditional Japanese beauty rituals Kabuki Theater. The tapered dome head makes the application of blush full proof. It can also be used for highlighting the cheekbones.


Contour Brush

The shape of this brush fits perfectly under your cheekbones to contour, or apply bronzer. But it can also be used for blush application and even highlighter! Truly a multifunctional brush!



Eye Shadow Brush

The shape of this brush places the eye shadow perfectly and helps for an even application. A favourite amongst many makeup artists.


Blending Brush

One of the best brushes by MAC! The 217 is amazing for blending eye shadow in the eye socket but it can be used for so many things, like applying highlighter under the eyebrow, placing eye shadow on the lid for a lighter look etc. Definitely one of the most basic brushes to have.


Blending Brush

One of the most expensive brushes but also one of the best ones out there. This award winning brush is a favourite for expert makeup artist Lisa Eldridge. It is perfect for blending colour and creates colour gradation with ease! You can also use it to blend your concealer or put powder under the eye area.



Eyeliner Brush

One of the best eyeliner brushes out there. With it you can create the perfect winged look! It can also be used for defining your eye brows.
