One of the most asked questions I get is 'What Makeup brushes do you use'??
Nowadays there are so many fantastic brands that do Makeup brushes and the majority are very good quality. My personal favourite brushes to use are 'Crown Brushes' www.crownbrush.ie
The longevity and quality of the hairs are fantastic. As a makeup artist, investing in high quality tools is important but it doesn't have to break the bank. I think the crown brushes are well priced and affordable for those looking for long lasting brushes.
Real techniques would be next on my list. I recently purchased 2 sets, one for the face and the other for the eyes. They had a fantastic special offer as they were half price. These brushes also came with a little case for them which is super handy if you like to keep them separated.
I spotted this ever so glam set of brushes also in Boots just 3weeks ago... How FAB are these???!!!
If you know me, you know I love Rose Gold!! This would be a beautiful stocking filler for any makeup lover this Christmas! A girl can never have too many brushes !!!
MAC brushes also have a brilliant life span but they defiantly are more expensive. They often launch smaller brush sets over the Christmas period and these are usually a little less expensive. Here is the 'nutcracker sweet contour brush set'
TOP TIP:
Wash your brushes once a week.
-Often people go months on end without washing their makeup brushes. Not only will the product build up and effect how your makeup turns out but they will also have gathered germs.
-You can wash them in warm soapy water with some baby shampoo. Towel dry and leave on the window ledge to dry naturally.
-Try not let the water drip into the handle of the brush as this can loosen the glue and cause hairs to fall out.
There are lots of brush cleaners available from many stores. This one is available from Penneys for just €2.50!
I find giving them a good wash with shampoo gets a very thorough clean and between washes I use a brush cleaner.
For my kit, I clean my brushes with surgical spirits and brush cleaner between clients. At the end of the day I shampoo them.
Give your brushes a wash tonight and let me know if it helped your makeup application over the weekend!
Have a good one,
