Good makeup brushes are an essential part of your makeup bag.
Some makeup brushes are worth throwing away the minute you try them. Some brushes become your best friend, and you might even feel lost if you misplace it. Often the best makeup brushes apply makeup so evenly that your skin looks flawless.
As some readers are aware, I love quality products. Cost doesn’t matter if it’s a good product, but I also like a bargain. Price doesn’t mean excellent, just as inexpensive doesn’t mean the product is not worth trying. The key is to seek recommendations with all products.
After testing hundreds of individual makeup brushes and makeup brush sets, I can confidently recommend the below brushes for specialized effects and at different price points.
