So how many Make Up Brushes does one really need to create an every day face? Foundation Brushes, Eye Brushes, Lip Brushes, and there are even brushes for brows. Do you need to own one for every single thing? I say not at all! For me, there’s only ten as I try to use brushes that have dual purposes. Make Up Brushes come in various shapes and sizes and have a particular fit for certain applications but the beauty is that not all brushes were created equal and no brush has only one job so I can use a brush to conceal as well as apply a cream product to my eyelids!. While some really great makeup brushes like Real Technique and Sonia Kashuk can be found at your local Target or Drug Stores I tend to lean to brushes that are a bit more expensive as I want them to last for years and years to come. Below I’ve listed my top ten makeup brushes that I use for an everyday face.

I’m dying to try some NARS Brushes and that double ended MUFE has been on my wishlist forever!
The MAC 224 was my go to blending brush for years! I still have 2.
I like the looks of that MUFE Kabuki brush! I have been looking for a new buki brush – going to look at it!
I never use lip brushes, I need to get it gear!
Love that NARS brush and the MUFE—they’re so good!
I definitely believe in spending more for things that will last a long, long time!
I have a cart filled with Bdellium brushes. You’re making me want to actually buy them! LOL
I use that bdellium tools luxury kit in my pro kit. Great set!
I mainly use the 217 for blending but the 224 is nice as well.
