Makeup Brushes


Today I'm sharing my makeup brushes.
I have learned over the years the benefit of 
using good quality makeup brushes.

Here is a roundup of my current favorite brushes.

Neiman Marcue


Beauty Blender
This little thing is a game changer.
I LOVE it. 
I wish I started using it years ago.



Through trial and error, I have realized what brushes
work best for me.  For instance, I love using a brush to put on my foundation.
Many people disagree with that. However, I have found that for me, 
my foundation stays on much better when I use a brush to apply it.
Also, I use a blush brush for my bronzer. I find it to be easier for me to apply.
Whenever I used a bigger brush, it was bronzer overkill.

While I have tired cheaper brushes, I wasn't successful with them as 
I found most of them to shed as I was using them. They left me 
with little dark hairs all over my face. So annoying trying to get
them off your face.

With regular cleaning, a good brush can last years.
I find them to be a worthy investment.
I'm also a bit vain when it comes to makeup.

If my makeup doesn't look good, I don't feel good
and then it's just a bad day. ha.


What are your favorite brushes??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
Best, Marie

  1. I'm all about a good concealer brush - I'm glad you like the sephora brand since it tends to be a bit easier on the wallet! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

  2. i wouldn't call that vain i'd call it caring about how you look! which is a good thing! :) i use a brush to put on my eyeliner too which let me tell you, i would die without the perfect one i have from MAC (well bc pretty much all my makeup is from there). it's so important!

  9. i tried the beauty blender but i don't think it's for me. i personally hate putting on liquid with brushes, i prefer my hands (which i know lots of people disagree with lol but whatever we have to do what we like, you know?!) but i use the real techniques brushes for powder.

  10. Nice brushes! I'm very simple and only use 2 brushes...1 for bronzer/blush and 1 for eyeshadow but I do use the beauty blender for foundation and love it!

  13. I am SUCH an amateur when it comes to brushes. I think it's finally time for me to invest in a good blush brush, since lately I've been subjected to the dark brush strands staying on my face...not fun!

  14. i agree---sometimes it's just worth the investment!

  15. Brushes are such game changers. When I finally figured out and made the switch it was like a light switch. Finally you are getting the look that it should be! Those airbrush brushes from Sephora are my absolute favs!

  16. Oh yes the little hairs...ugh. I never tried a brush for a cream or liquid foundation but I have for mineral foundation. This brush from Chanel sounds excellent. I just may get this.
