My Current Makeup Brushes

Hello everyone! It feels like so long since I have sat down and written a blogpost. I don’t know about you, but I love makeup brushes. Although I don’t own an insane amount, I do own quite a few. My favourite brand of makeup brushes is Real Techniques, which I buy off of iHerb. As I live in Australia, it’s a much cheaper alternative. For an even cheaper option, you could buy Jessup Brushes off ebay. It’s about $12 for a set, and they’re amazing quality.


My makeup brushes change so often, so I thought I’d tell you about my current ones.



Face Brushes


I use two different ones, depending on what I feel like. This Jessup flat top brush is amazing. It doesn’t shed often and is great for applying foundation. I also use this Real Techniques Buffing Brush, which is just as good.

Contour Brushes


For contouring, I either use Models Prefer Angled Brush, or Real Techniques Contour Brush. These are both very good, but I prefer the angled brush as it has more bristles and is a bit more stable.

Powder Brush


I love this Revlon Kabuki Brush, although the only problem is that it is black which means I had to wash it a couple of times before to let the ink out. It also sheds quite a bit.

Blush Brush


Real Techniques Multi Task Brush is so good for blush, you buy it in the Travel Essentials pack and can be used for a lot of different things.

Concealer & Highlighter


I use these two foundation brushes to dab on my concealer or to highlight my brow bone, nose and cheeks. These are both by Real Techniques, and I don’t think I have ever used them for foundation.

Eye Brushes


I have to be honest, I don’t do eye shadow often. I have quite a lot of them, surprisingly. These are the brushes I use when I do decide to do my eyes. They range from Jessup, to Real Techniques.

Those are my current brushes, I might do an update of these, if my brushes change dramatically in the future.


Have a good week! x
