Flat Kabuki foundation brush ______ Find a soft brush with a good amount of densely set bristles. Find a large one to cover enough surface area of the face in one go. A Kabuki brush will blend your foundation like a dream.

Contour brush ______ Slightly angled with soft and dense bristles is the right pick for a contour brush. It is used to apply and blend that cream or powder contour seamlessly with minimal effort.

Concealer brush _______ Concealing and not letting the under eyes crease requires a whole nother skillset. However, a good slightly curved concealer brush will be your best bet to push and blend the concealer in those hard to reach inner eye corners.

Powder brush _____ Fluffy and most loosely packed round edged brush can give you that air-brushed powder application without caking up your face. All you gotta do is dip it in the loose or compact powder, tap the excess and swish around your face to set makeup and mattify your skin.

Blush brush ____ This is a smaller version of a powder brush but sometimes a little protruding than the other. Just like a powder brush, a blush brush gives you ease in rosying up the cheeks in ideal places.

Angled brush _____ Gel eyeliners are the best to create those dramatic graphic eyeliner or even a classic wing. In order to achieve those, one must own a thin liner brush with an angled sharp tip. This can help you draw close to the lash line.

Flat eyeshadow brush ______ To tap and place those eyeshadows in order to deposit the color, you require a flat eyeshadow brush. This is a paddle shaped tiny brush that can also be used to apply glitter in halo eye makeup or cut a crease.

Fluffy blending brush _______ To get that luxurious gradient effect on the eyelids, your transition eyeshadow and lid colours should blend beautifully into one another. To leave no harsh lines on the eyelids, trust a fluffy blending brush to do the job.

Fan brush ____ They are cute to look at but serve a higher purpose. It helps you achieve that blinding glow from a highlighter by blending it right above your blush. Secondly, it also helps you swipe and dust off your powder makeup mistakes.

Pencil brush ____ This versatile brush is an absolute essential. A pointed pencil brush can be used to highlight the inner corner of your eye precisely. It can also buff out that pencil lip liner and help you smoke out the eyeshadow under the lower lash line. Don't miss out on them, ladies!
