Once I talked about my new favorite foundation the opposite week, I additionally talked about that I have been utilizing a brush to use it. Which led to some commenters discussing: fingers, sponge, or brush? I assumed it would make a pleasant dialog usually: what are your favourite magnificence instruments?
For my $.02 — I am on the hunt for a brand new eyelash roller, so if anybody has one they love I am all ears! I purchased a Kevin Aucoin one after the longstanding favourite from Shu Uemura stopped being offered within the US, however that alternative is certainly previous its prime now.
For face stuff, I do use a basis brush (which I purchased not so way back so it is annoying I am unable to discover it in my order histories!), however primarily as a result of I might by no means get the cling of a sponge. (Mine is much like this one, however I would purchase this dual-ended one if I had been shopping for a alternative at present.) For contour and bronzer I take advantage of an extended skinny brush that appears a bit like an eyeshadow brush, however 3x thicker (sort of like this one). For blush I take advantage of a thick, angled brush (similar to this one).
I do use the identical few eye make-up brushes repeatedly — a full brush for normal background shadow utility (much like this one), and a extra condensed brush for contouring the eyelid (or not less than laying on the shadow for the crease — mine is a bit stiffer than this one however related.) I additionally use a very fluffy, full brush for mixing, much like this one though I am certain mine got here from a brilliant low-cost set like this. I additionally use my fingers if it is a liquid shadow, though I want I had a greater system.
For eyeliner I like a brush that has flat, stiff bristles — I take advantage of it for mixing in addition to for laying eye shadow on high of the eyeliner. My eyeliner brush is historical — I received it with an Estee Lauder equipment many a few years in the past — however this one is analogous.
I wash all the things with Johnson’s baby shampoo (I can usually discover bottles within the mini/journey part of the pharmacy). I’ve a mixture of low-cost brushes which have proved helpful over time, however I am slowly upgrading my assortment with nicer brushes like those from the Sephora Pro line.
Readers, what are your favourite magnificence instruments and make-up brushes?
