Brushes: Decisions Decisions!

Have you ever found yourself confused about which type of brush to buy?  It can be overwhelming when you find yourself in front of an shelf FULL of a lot of beautiful and sometimes colorful brushes.  It can even be intimidating... especially if you have a salesperson breathing down your back.  LOL

Here are a few suggestions on picking at least the very basic of brushes for your collection:

Eye Shadows
1.  You want it to be dome and fluffy..
2.  The smaller the "flower" (or head) of the brush, the more control.. *best for smaller eyes*
3.  For blending, the fluffier, softer and long haired, the better..
4.  The fluffier the "flower", the less pigment it will pick up.
5.  The tighter and compact the "flower" is, the stronger the application will show.

Foundation
1.  Synthetic hair is ALWAYS better
2.  I personally prefer the dark colored "flower" brushes because with time, no matter how often you clean your brushes, it will always leave behind foundation color.
3.  Tapered brushes are best for more control of the foundation liquid.
4.  A mini version of a tapered synthetic brush is ideal for concealer.  Dab it on with the brush BUT blend it with your finger (a CLEAN finger that is).  The warmth of your finger will blend it beautifully.

Cheeks
1.  The angled brushes can be used for both blushes and bronzers, one brush will be sufficient to serve both purposes.
