I am a firm believer that your hands are always your best tool. Especially, when applying makeup to your skin. However, there is a time and place to have essential makeup brushes in your kit.
“We don’t make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.” -Bob Ross
This quote is so true. Doing makeup is like artistry. We use different mediums and tools to convey the right look for that specific moment in time.
Like a painter, we use color, shading, and angels to give the right symmetry and depth to each look. So it’s important then to know how to use the tools of the trade for proper makeup application. It can make a difference between looking unpolished to looking completely brilliant.
So, below are some essential makeup brushes that you need should own.
