I realized early on how greatly makeup brushes contribute to the outcome of my makeup looks. To achieve a beautiful makeup look it is essential to use the right tools. Think of yourself as a painter, you cannot just use one brush to finish up a picture. You might do some detail work, you might need some smudging, etc...the point is you need tools for all sorts of purposes.
I'm in love with makeup brushes!!! I could buy a million of 'em!! haha! You can select from a wide range of makeup brushes, but you do not need to have each and every of them. Unless you're a makeup artist you only need a basic set of brushes that will help you to 'paint your own canvas' for any occasion:

- for powder and bronzer application
