The Make-Up Brushes Every Woman Should Own

Bobbi Brown bronzer brush

The Bobbi Brown Bronzer Brush proves its worth every time you use it. Its dense, soft bristles are perfectly shaped with the brush head slightly angled, making it ideal for applying bronzer (or blush, I use it for both) to the cheekbones or when applying product across the forehead and jawline. There’s something about the way it picks up and applies the powder, that brings a diffused finish without overapplying

Westman Atelier Blender brush

I love this blusher brush, don’t even know how to start this review without sounding like an evangelical preacher. Handmade in Kumano, Japan by one of the most prestigious brushmakers in the world and designed by one of the best global make-up artists, Gucci Westman, her brushes are soft, but not too soft, dense but not too dense and you noticed quite a big difference when applying blush or bronzer.  Because it’s a bit flatter than a typical fluffy blender brush, the larger surface area allows for more precise and controlled blending across the face to give you that flawless, airbrushed look. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to make sure their makeup doesn’t look too heavy or patchy while still maintaining great coverage.

Hermès – Angled brush Le Traceur

I am obsessed with this brush for its precision in the eyeline area. If I am creating a heavier eye look, I like to apply powder to set the eyeliner. With Le Traceur, you’re going to be investing, but you will have this in your collection for years, and it will not disappoint when applying the product. It has limited spillage off the brush also, I love this.

Chanel Pinceau Blush No.110 

This brush is about the art of ceremony for me – I love it and have used it for years. It’s undeniably chic, and it’s all about refined minimalism and an airbrushed finish. It picks up just the right amount of product and applies it smoothly, without leaving streaks or harsh lines. It effortlessly blends, and the rounded shape of the brush provides precise control over where and how much product you apply, making it easy to build up without overdoing it.

Refy, Duo Brush 

This is the kind of brush you didn’t realise you needed until you try it. The different sized brush heads on both ends are a multitaskers dream. Bronzer or cream blush can be applied with the large brush and the smaller is best for blush powders or sweeping highlighter. It’s versatile, compact, and delivers a polished finish, hence why it’s quickly becoming a cult favourite.
