10 highly-recommended makeup brushes you need in your kit
Makeup brushes are the unsung heroes in our beauty kits. So many of us simply rely on our fingers to get the job done (hey, they’re free!), but we’re missing a trick by not using a makeup brush. However, with so many different brushes (for starters, there are different shapes and materials, not to mention one for every step of your makeup routine), it’s hard to know where to begin building your perfect collection of tools. While your dream line-up will depend greatly on the steps you have in your entire makeup routine (day, night and special occasions) and the types of formulas you like, here are some great all-rounders to get you started. Because once you try a great makeup brush, you’ll wonder how you put up with mediocre ones for so long.
