The Only Makeup Brushes You Really Need

The Only Makeup Brushes You Really Need

I will be the first to admit – I have way too many makeup brushes.  The excuse, “I have a lot because I’m a makeup artist,” is normally what I say, but really, it’s a problem (and waste of money and product).  When I am doing client makeup, I constantly reach for the same brushes over and over again, while the other hundred or so (not exaggerating) get left lying in my Zuca bag and brush cups.

So, this leads me to share my opinion with you on the only makeup brushes you really need.  Because let’s face it: you don’t need them all. I will say that the brushes you use do make a huge, and I mean Billy Fucillo “HUUUUUGE!” difference in the way your makeup products apply and look on your skin, both on the eyes and face.  My favorite brands for brushes include Sephora PRO, MAC Cosmetics, Morphe, and Real Techniques.  In today’s blog post, I’m just focusing on brushes from the Sephora PRO brand since those are my all-time favorites.  Let’s dive in, shall we?

    OMG I am so glad I stumbled upon your Facebook which brought me to your website! I absolutely love makeup but was never honestly taught or shown anything about what really needs to go into the whole process of making your face turn out as beautiful and healthy looking as it does on the daily! I always assumed that the more products that are used (assuming the mixing of serums and moisturizers etc) all on the face at once would be a bad thing! But no wonder my face is always dry or way too oily…but after watching your videos I so thankful and maybe for once the routine you have may work for me! Also, I have been using the wrong brushes for the wrong make up ugh! And lastly, I have been dying to find a self Tanner that doesn’t turn me orange or stain certain parts of my body darker than others regardless of how well blended it is in my skin but I am definitely going to try that express self Tanner you had s video of because that’s exactly what I’m looking for!! You helped sooo much in so many ways you are really great at what you do and your skin really is beautiful! Thank you so much!!! And I definitely will keep you in mind for whenever a friend of mine or even I need makeup done for any event if it’s before you move!
