When it comes to applying your makeup, fingers and sponges certainly get the job done, but nothing works quite as well as quality brushes. Think of it this way — have you ever seen a professional makeup artist who didn’t have loads of brush options in their kit? When you want your makeup to look precise and beautifully blended (and who doesn’t?!), the best makeup brushes are a must, and that goes for eye shadow, foundation, blush, contouring, bronzer, brows and practically every other makeup category out there. In other words, quality brushes are the secret ingredient to looking like your face was put on by a pro.
Regardless of where you’re using them, all of the best makeup brushes are built to last, aim for precision, and are sharp yet fluffy and soft. Sometimes it can be confusing to figure out what each brush does exactly, so we picked the best makeup brush in each category to take out all the guesswork. Whether you’re a YouTube-worthy pro at doing your makeup or still figuring out how to contour, these brushes work for everyone.
