Hello Makeup Lovers,

Here's list 10 necessary  brushes that I think every makeup lover should own according to Makeup Geek!

1. Blending Brush
   

   This is a multi-purpose brush that can be used to “feather” out the outer V, blend any harsh lines, highlight under the brow, apply a light coat of paintpots as a base, or even apply concealer under the eyes.This is the most versatile brush I have come across, and I haven’t found a cheaper alternative yet. This would be my first brush to buy if I was just starting out.

2. Eye Shadow Brush
   

   This brush is perfect for packing on eyeshadow on the lid- it’s stiff so it picks up a decent amount of color.  The size is also perfect for fitting just on the lid.  I love this brush so much that I have 4 of them, and I reach for them every day!

3. Foundation Stippling Brush
   

   This is honestly my favorite brush ever!  I use this to apply my foundation for that airbrushed finish.  Just place your foundation on the back of your hand, dip the brush in, and stipple it all over your face starting at the center of your face working out towards the temples.

4.  Pencil Brush
   

   This brush is great for blending out harsh eyeliner, smudging shadow under the lower lashes, or creating a very defined outer V.Since the brushes are stiff, it picks up a good amount of color. I reach for this brush everyday as it works perfectly for any type of “smudged liner” look

5.  Cheek Highlighter Brush
   

   Getting that Jennifer Lopez glow is super easy with this brush!  The soft duo fibre bristles apply just the right amount of highlighting powder or liquid.  The smaller size head prevents from applying too much product, while the wispy bristles give that almost airbrushed effect.

6.  Outer V Brush
   

   I realize this is an odd name for a brush, but I named it this as it is the perfect size for applying darker colors to the outer corner (outer V) of the eyes.  It also works really well for that rocker smudged liner under the lower lashline- the size of the head gives a wider smudged line (unlike the pencil brush which is a little bit smaller)

7. Angle Brow Brush
   

   Now I realize there are TONS of angled brow brushes out there, but this one is the perfect size and stiffness for me.  It applies powder perfectly to the brows.  The stiff bristles pick up just the right amount of color.  I use this everyday for filling in my brows with either shadow or  brow mousse.

8.  Angled Liner Brush
   

   This bent liner brush is perfect for applying gel liner or for creating that cat liner effect!  The bent handle allows you to easily drag the liner to get a perfectly straight line.  I reach for this brush almost everyday is its much easier than applying liquid liner

9. Blush Brush
   

   This angled blush brush is perfect for applying just the right amount of blush!  Its soft bristles do not apply too much color, yet it is stiff enough to pick up the color.  The angled shape follows the natural contour of your cheekbones, so it is pretty much foolproof on where to apply your blush.

10.  Soft Dome Brush
    

    This soft bristled dome brush is perfect for creating a super soft shadow in the crease or for blending out concealer under the eyes (it helps prevent your concealer from caking up and getting too thick).  I love how soft this feels on the skin!  This brush is not meant for packing on color, but for blending

So fill in those make up gaps.....
