New Popular Style Makeup Brushes

The JPNK Makeup Brush Set

The big trend on the internet these days is this style of makeup brushes except you hear a lot about the high end style of brush which runs over $500 for a set.  These little jewels cost less than $10 and are worth their weight fifty times in their performance.

I will admit, often when you are watching YouTube video's from various makeup guru's, sometimes they will peek your interest in different products they talk about.  This style of makeup brush has been the talk around YouTube, so I broke down and purchased this set from Amazon-just so I could write this review. They are NOT the high end expensive brushes they are the less than $10 brushes that (to me) works wonders!!

The hair material on these brushes (You get two to a set) is synthetic hair and they are used to apply foundation and/or powder.  Because the bristles are dense, applying foundation is a breeze.  I have found by using these brushes, it takes very little product to get an airbrush affect on your face.  Which tells me, you are using less product which means in the long run you will end up saving money.  I use the smaller brush for concealer, again, using very little product which will save money in the end.

Although, I only purchased these brushes so I could write a review, I can tell you, I will not be without them.  I love the performance of these brushes and for the price and the affect it gives my complexion, it is well beyond worth the $10.00

So yes, world, although these brushes may not be high end priced, I highly recommend them.

Sephora Makeup Brushes Must Haves

Three Sephora Makeup Brushes Must Have's

It is no secret I love makeup brushes and I have learned a lot, (yes I repeating) a lot about them in the past months. Regardless, of what anyone ever tries to tell you.. SIZE does matter when it comes to makeup brushes.. not only SIZE but the STYLE as well.  There was a time when no one would ever be able to convince me that there was a huge difference in makeup brushes, not to mention the different application results. I am very serious.. I use to think it was all a way to get people to spend more money.  My oldest makeup brush is from the 80's and it was one of my Maybelline's eye-shadow brush which I used for everything. The sad part, I still use it today!!

If you watch the videos of the Makeup Guru's on YouTube, you will hear them mention all different brands of brushes and styles.  Some I do agree would be and are great.. others I am not too sure about.   Here is what I do know for sure, when I see specialty brushes on sale especially on Sephora, I will try and get one.. which leads me to this reason of this post.

As I mention in my post IT CC Cream Sample Won me Over, I cannot apply my foundation with a makeup beauty blender! Yes, I used it damp, yes I tried patting the foundation down, yes, I ended up with a huge mess on my face that made my makeup cake and uneven. So I decided to start using a fantastic new foundation brush from Sephora's.  This brush was not on sale when I got it, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. In the photo I am calling it a foundation brush: The actual name is:  PRO Press Full Coverage Complexion Brush #66.  It is the BEST brush I have used to apply foundation. It has a very short condensed head that gives you the best coverage ever without using a huge amount of foundation.

The other two brushes were on sale the Angel Eyebrow Brush and the Tight Line Brush. Now, I believe they were less $10 each but well worth it.  The Tight Line Brush is perfect if you want to detail your lips, or line your eye at the very lash line.  I personally use it for detailing my lips if by chance my lipstick gets a little off track.  The eyebrow angel brush is the best thing every invented.  I started using a dry eyebrow powder over my Chella Eyebrow Pencil to fill in any gaps. 

Not only are Sephora brush, well made, but each brush I have came with this plastic snap cover that protects the head of the brush. THAT alone is a fantastic feature.  I would highly recommend Sephora brushes.. if YOU ever get the opportunity, try the PRO Press Full Coverage Brush especially those with mature skin... you will be able to tell a huge difference in your foundation application. That I promise you!!
