While most makeup compacts come with mini brushes for application, it's quite helpful to have a good set of personal makeup brushes instead. The small brushes placed in compact blush and eye shadows don't often last long or apply the makeup well. When choosing makeup brushes, there are several different types of brushes to look for. Powder brushes can be used for bronzer but should not to be confused with their slightly smaller counterpart, the blush brush. The majority of makeup brushes are used for the eyes. Finally, there are lip brushes. These brushes are typically fine-tipped and have very sturdy bristles. Because of the makeup being applied with lip brushes, you may need to wash them more frequently than the other types of makeup brushes.

Makeup brushes will not break your bank, but they will change the way you apply makeup.

Makeup Brushes - How to Choose the Right Brush

By Nicole Essler

From various brush handles and styles to different types of bristles it's no surprise that the average woman can find it hard to know which brushes are right for her. Here are some tips for choosing the brush that will fit your needs and personal style.

Usually you will need at least one of each of these: foundation brush, eye shadow brush, lip brush, brow brush, powder brush. For applying mineral powder foundation a Kabuki brush is usually used, which is a smaller handle brush which makes mineral powder easy to apply.

Once you have identified the brushes you need you will want to check out the quality of the brushes. If you are on a budget consider a brush with a plastic handle, but keep in mind that over time these will not hold up as well as makeup brushes with wood handles. You also want to decide whether you want brushes that are made with synthetic hair or animal hair.
