The latest
on my 'From My Stash' series, today's post is about 5 of my most used brushes
from my stash.
Firstly, the
newest addition Models Own angled
brush. I use this mostly to line
my lashes with eyeshadow and to line my lower lashes. The small size of the brush really helps to
get to the root of the lashes and draw a really fine line. It can also be used for brows again because
of the small size, you can draw fine ‘hairs’ for a natural looking brow. Available here,
£10 for a set of 5 travel size brushes.
MAC 217 - a cult favourite, had to be
included! This is the best blending brush. The
head size and shape is quite unique as I haven’t managed to find any other that
does the job quite like it. You can pack
on eyeshadow on the lid, blend eyeshadow and blend concealer. It’s a really good brush to have in your
stash as you can do pretty much anything with it! Available here
for £18.
Next up is
quite an old brush, not sure if this is available anymore. It’s a Smashbox
eyeshadow brush #32 from an older collection. This is really good at packing on eyeshadow
on the lid, the flat surface really helps to pick up powder shadow and the wide
surface area ensures the whole lid is covered.
There are a lot of similar shadow brushes out there, such as the Real Techniques
deluxe crease brush.
Real Techniques buffing brush needs no introduction. I don’t think there are any bloggers out
there who don’t own this brush. It
definitely deserves the hype as it’s probably the best brush to apply foundation with. It blends foundation into the skin almost
undetectably. You can really push the
product into your skin, so you can use this for powders too! I have also used the buffing brush to apply
powder blushes as the size is perfect to apply blush to the apples of your
cheeks and blend. The only annoying
thing is that, it’s not sold separately.
It’s part of the Core Collection available here
at £21.99.
Yet another Real Techniques brush, this time
the blush brush. I actually use this to apply powder to my
face as I find it’s too big to apply blusher.
It’s large and fluffy so you can apply a light dusting of powder to your
face without disturbing your makeup.
Available here
for £9.99. Another alternative to the
blush brush is the Real Techniques multi-tasking brush. This brush is a true multi-tasker! I’ve used this for blusher, bronzer, powder
and highlighter! I only got it recently;
otherwise this would definitely have been included as one of my 5 picks! Again, only part of a set, either the Travel
Essentials Kit or Sam’s picks!
Hope

favourite from my picks? What’s your
favourite makeup brush?
