13. Favorite Makeup Brushes

Another challenge! Time to list my favorite brushes in no particular order.

1. ELF Studio Powder Brush

I love this baby! I have two and use one for powder foundation, the other for blush. The hairs are synthetic, but they're very soft and disperse the color or powder evenly. At 3 dollars, this is a steal! Bought it online, but they have some at my local Target, so I might get some as backups or for future makeup exchanges.







2. ELF Essential Blending Eye Brush

I love ELF brushes. They're cheap and get the job done, a win-win situation in my book. I love using it to wedge a light brown shade into my crease to soften up darker colors or add more dimension to the eye makeup. I have two of these, just in case one gets dirty from a color.






3. MAC 217

I've had this baby for a while now and it holds a special place in my heart <3 It's lovely for blending out harsh lines and adding a soft look. I also use it to set my undereye concealer with a powder foundation, since I feel it really packs the powder in, making it last longer. Also, I use it to highlight my browbone with a light color.






4. My fingers!

 It's true! I love using my fingers to apply liquid foundation and blending in concealer and doing a variety of other things that I feel brushes can't do. I also use my fingers to pat on cream and powder shadows on the eyelid, after I sanitized my fingers of course!
