My Favorite Brush Sets & More

Sigma - 12 Piece Essential Kit

Now, this is the priciest of the Brush sets, but it's one of my favorite. There are twelve professional brushes for the face and eyes. They have free 2-year warranty on these brushes

Morphe Set 504 - Sculpt and Define

This brush set has 11 brushes and is made of synthetic hair fibers. Comes with a nice case. This is actually my favorite brand of brushes. Morphe has quality brushes with a decent price tag.

BH Cosmetics - Sculpt and Blend - 10 Piece Brush Set

There are 5 face and 5 eye brushes in this brush set. This the cheaper of the brands but they are really awesome. One thing about bhcosmetics.com is that you have to make sure you’re a subscriber to their website because they are always having a sale. When I say always having a sell, I would say 95% of the time there is a sale going on.

I found this pin on a post from my Pinterest. I figure this is the best quick guide to the different types of brushes and what they are used for.You can use a brush however you want to really. I just want to put that out there. Now off the bat I noticed that it was missing a stippling brush. A stippling brush is people is for? You guessed it, STIPPLING. I can't tell you how many people use this brush wrong, then they say the brush is unnecessary etc. I like to use a stippling brush for liquid products mostly.

Now as for cleaning your brushes, most people get a brush cleaner. I only use brush cleaner in my kit. I also use a makeup cleaning mat to gently scrub my brushes with my Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner. For my personal makeup brushes I use homemade, DIY type stuff (check it out below).

Hope you enjoyed this post
