I like to think of make-up brushes as a modern girl’s magic wand. Use it right and a single swipe can change your make-up game. Obviously, I’m not saying a brush is all you need for flawless make-up, but the right technique can go a long way. After all, picking the right wand is just as important as Cinderella’s glass shoe! With the right make-up brushes, you can look next to airbrushed.
You don’t have to spend a fortune buying make-up brushes. Thanks to online shopping, there are tons of brands that make good quality, affordable and adorable make-up brushes. These babies won’t just turn up your game but look great lying on your dresser too! We’ve scoured the Internet to get you our top 10 affordable make-up brushes. Check em’ out!
1. Faces Foundation Brush
This flat foundation brush is great to apply your foundation and concealer with. Be careful while using these types of brushes though, they tend to leave streaks of product on your face. The best way to use a brush like this is in dabbing motions. I prefer to use this brush to apply face packs!
