Favourite Brushes

I just gave my brushes a wash, so I thought it was a good time to make a post about my favourite brushes. This post will cover face and eye brushes.


Face brushes (L to R):

Revlon Blush/Contour Brush - I got this brush in a Revlon set ages ago, and I'm not too sure of the name. I prefer this brush for contouring, as it is significantly smaller than the Sigma F40 (Large Angled Contour Brush) that I also own. 
Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush - For the longest time, this was my favourite brush to apply liquid foundation with. I've had it for over a year, and now it does have a bit of shedding, particularly when I wash it. I still love this brush, and I use it in conjuction with the Real Techniques Buffing Brush I will mention below. 
Nude By Nature Kabuki Brush - I was on the hunt for a kabuki brush, and while in Priceline with a friend a couple of months ago she pointed out a set of brushes that Nude By Nature had, and it was only $30! The kabuki brush was enough to convince me to purchase it, and I'm so glad I did! I use this brush to apply powder, and it is a dream. It is so soft, blends well, and looks flawless. It is definitely my favourite brush of the set. 
Real Techniques Buffing Brush - When I received my last quarter voucher from Priceline, I decided to purchase the Real Techniques Core Collection, as it was the one that appealed to me most! I'm so glad I did, this brush has been a real favourite in applying liquid foundation since I purchased the kit!
Real Techniques Contour Brush - Contouring my face is probably one of my favourite steps in a completed makeup look. This brush is amazing. It is a small domed brush, that makes applying contour in the cheeks a dream. 


Eye brushes (L to R):

NP Set Crease Blender Brush - This brush is wonderful. I have quite small eyelids, and this is a great blending brush for all over lid colour, and to focus colour in a particular place.
Urban Decay Doubled Ended Shadow and Blending Brush - I received this brush with my Naked 2 Palette, and for the longest time I used this brush for a completed eye look. It is a great multitasking brush, and it is still an essential when I'm doing an eye look.
Sigma E65 Small Angle Brush - This brush is wonderful to use when filling in your eyebrows.
Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush - Best. Blending. Brush. Ever. I love this brush. It does look a little big, but it is a wonderful blending brush.
Sigma E55 Eye Shading Brush - I use this to pack colour all over the lid.
Sigma E30 Pencil Brush - The day I discovered pencil brushes was a good day. They are good for crease work, and with small eyelids, they are wonderful. This is my all-time favourite pencil brush. If you don't have one in your collection, I recommend getting one!

And those are my favourite brushes! What are your favourites? :)
