How to build your makeup kit: Face

Hello dollface...the last time I posted I ran through some of the essentials you will need, in building your makeup kit, eyeshadow brushes in particular.  There are so many different type of brushes and amiss the mass amounts of makeup brushes out there; deciding how and which to choose may be a problem. I have broken down the basic brushes needed for your face, so you may get the best results. Hopefully this will help you save money and eliminate useless brushes.

Three main brushes that should reside in your kit and they are:

Foundation brush

This brush is normally flat, and is made to cover all areas of the face with foundation. Although various other styles are available on the market, this style is essential.

Foundation: Stippling Brush

This brush is just as the foundation brush, only difference is that this style is round and with a flat head. Perfect for stippling foundation onto the skin and for a more airbrushed finish. Ensure the bristles are stiff, as they need to be in order to hold up to the foundation and not streak. As a MUA this is my essential brush in my kit, you may not get this one if you prefer a flatter head.

Tip: If on a budget makeup sponges could be used too, although reasonably priced brushes are now in the market. It all depends on your preference and also what you are comfortable in using for application.
 

Dual Foundation Brush 

This double-duty brush serves as a foundation and concealer brush. Applying Concealer under the eye is always best with the finger and wedge but if you prefer - this style is perfect in following the curves of the face for truly flawless coverage.

Powder brush

Big and fluffy in size, this brush allows easy application of powder and mineral products.

Blush Brush

Similar in shape to the powder brush, but smaller and designed for better control when applying blush.
