Essential Makeup Brushes for Beginners

New to makeup? You do not need many brushes. Here are the essential ones.

1. Foundation Brush

This brush is flat and dense. It applies foundation evenly. Use it in gentle strokes.

2. Powder Brush

This brush is large and fluffy. It sets your makeup with powder. Swirl it on your face.

3. Blush Brush

This is smaller than a powder brush. It puts color on your cheeks. Use it on the apples of your cheeks.

4. Eyeshadow Brush

A flat brush puts color on your lids. A blending brush softens edges. Start with these two.

5. Angled Brow Brush

This brush helps fill your brows. It also works for eyeliner.

Start with these five. Add more as you learn.
