While we live in the\nera of the makeup sponge, we can\u2019t forget a tried and true foundation brush.\nAside from our hands, brushes have been used by industry professionals for\nyears. They\u2019re sanitary and can be used long-term on multiple clients as long\nas proper sanitary measures are taken. Everyone loves a good sponge, but everyone\nshould have a densely packed kabuki onhand just in case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big, fluffy brush\nis necessary for setting foundation, wiping away loose powder and fallout from\neyeshadow, and even blending and blowing out bronzer. These kind of brushes are\nlarge, but not too dense. This allows them to create a veil of powder rather\nthan packing on pigment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domed Eyeshadow Blending Brush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brush is\nessential. Honestly, you could probably have eight of these and would still\nfind a need for more. Like the powder brush, these bristles are less dense, but\ncreate a beautiful wash of color for those important transition shades or\ncreating that seamless blend between two colors. Stock up on these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the Sigma E37\nAll Over Blend Brush<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eyeshadow Packing Brush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pigmentation is the\nbasis of all eyeshadow palettes, and to get the most pay off, you need a good\npacking brush. Whether it be trying to get the most of that matte red or trying\nto make that gold metallic pop, this dense brush is a high priority need for\nany kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the Morphe E14\nOval Shadow Brush<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting is the\ntrend that has been taking the beauty world by storm over the past few years,\nand the key to a blinding highlight is the brush. The goal is to have a\nseamless, blended highlight\u2014the wet look. In addition to choosing the appropriate\ncolor, application is everything. You don\u2019t want a stripe but you also don\u2019t\nwant it to be so blown out that it pulls features that you may be trying to\nhide. So, a brush with longer, flexible bristles allows the brush to hug the\nshape of the cheek bone for direct application but also blend the edges to\navoid a stripy look.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
