Makeup brushes are an essential tool in your makeup routine. A good makeup brush can change the look of your makeup for the better or worse. You can have the best makeup but an inferior makeup brush and all sorts of "wrong" can happen. Trust me on this. Most of my makeup brushes are on the more expensive side (I do have a $1 makeup brush that I use everyday as you'll see below) and are of professional quality. They will last for years and offer superior, professional results that I depend on. I have tested and tried probably hundreds of makeup brushes over the years. While I have dozens of them on my vanity, selecting my top ten makeup brushes was not that hard; I use the same makeup brushes over and over each day. These are my favorite makeup brushes.
