makeup brush?

Question

Hi,what are the essential make up brush for beginners and where can i find them??
Thanx a lot

Answer 1

The only things that i would say are essential for beginners is an eyebrow/lash brush, because eyebrows always need to look tidy and eyelashes unclumped!!!
A blusher brush! i personally use M.A.C brush range bt they are very expensive but by far the best ive ever used!
And possibly an eye shadow brush, one thats not too thick for when your highlighting small ares of the eye, but thick enough for blending and shading your eyeshadow! i used an avon for ages and loved it! you can pop into a local boots or superdrug store! cosmopolitan (the magazine) have their own range of brushes that are cheap!

Answer 2

I'm sure others will tell you exactly what brushes to get, but here is some very important advice.

DO NOT spend HEAPS on brushes that are sold by make up brands. I saw a MAC brush set for like $70 and that is freeking INSANE.

Go to an art store, and buy brushes there. Preferably sable brushes. It will save you a lot of money, and artist brushes are exactly the same as make up brushes.

Answer 3

I think an essential beginner kit is from Sonia Kashnuk and the beauty of this set is it's CHEAP!!! You find all of Sonia's stuff at Target.....good luck!

get something like this. you want a good blush brush and good eyeshadow brush. to me the rest are just to play with, but those 2 i mentioned are staples to a good make up application.

they sell others with more brushes

these would be for more advanced make up users for applying shadow as liner, or powder eye liners and such... more detailed applications
