My Most Used Make-up Brushes

Helloo! Today, I have pinched an idea off  ESSIEBUTTON because I absolutely loved the post, and it really intrigues  me on what people use to apply make-up. And it is my most used make-up brushes. Can you guess what brand I love? These brushes are just perfect for me, and a lot of other people I know! They're fast drying, soft, affordable, and just everything great! 

 L-R Eyebrow Brush | Naked 1 Shadow Brush | Base Shadow Brush | Blending Brush

Eyes and Brows

Eyebrow brush (£21.99 Real Techniques Starter Set) 

I have only just started filling in my brows with powder, and this brush is perfect, its quite long for an angled brush which makes for a faster application, but is also thin so you don't come out with slugs for eyebrows.

Naked 1 Shadow brush (£36 with Naked1 Palette) 

I use this brush to pack on colour. Its really great for that as it's thin and flat! I just load it up on one side, pat it on and bang, it's full on eye colour! 

Base Shadow brush (£21.99 Real Techniques Starter Set)

This used to be the brush I did everything with, but now I use it for the outer corner, and crease work! It's such a brilliant brush. Heard it's good for blending concealers, but my eyes can't part with it to test that out just yet.

Blending brush (£21.99 Real Techniques Starter Set)

I rarely blend my shadows, as I quite like the blendy effect the base shadow brush gives. But when I do, this is the brush I go to. 

 Stippling Brush | Contour Brush

Contouring

Stippling brush (£11.99 Real Techniques) 

This is my most recent addition to my ever growing collection of Real Technique brushes. I use this for cream products. Mainly the Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow, which I use for contouring on my paler days. Its a brush that doesn't pick up a load of products as the brushes are quite sparse, so it is buildable. 

Contour brush (£21.99 Real Techniques Core Collection) 

I use this brush for powder products, it's a brush that got me into contouring so I love it. I use the tip for contouring, and gently use the sides to highlight. 

Powder Brush | Blush Brush | Buffing Brush

Face Brushes

Powder brush (£12.99 Real Techniques)

This brush is massive. Which I absolutely love, it doesn't need to be wizzed round the powder pan more than once, it picks up enough product to only need to do it the once. 

Blush brush (£9.99 Real Techniques)

I didn't like this brush at first, as it is so crazily soft. But now I realised, its so you built up and layer the blush to keep on building up the colour. Especially for extremely pigmented powder blushes.

Buffing brush (£21.99 Real Techniques Core Collection)

This is the most used brush of all. I use this everyday, and without fail, it gives me flawless skin. Considering how much I wash it, and how often it needs washing. It is still in brilliant condition.

Wow, that seems like a hell of a lot of brushes just for one face doesn't it?! I rarely change up my face/contour brushes. I sometimes use other eye brushes, but thats so rare they don't need to be on here! 

Do you use any of these brushes and rate them as highly as me?
