Makeup Brushes.

I can't even begin to tell you how many types and brands of makeup brushes there are! There are very high end brushes, and some that you can get from the drugstore, that could work just as well. My favorite types of brushes are Real Techniques by Sam Chapman. They are not really that expensive in my opinion, and they work amazingly. Now, I only have one brush from them and it is the Stippling Face Brush. It creates such a beautiful, flawless finish. It honestly makes you look airbrushed, and that is why I use it every day and even own two. I really like to use this brush when doing someone else's makeup, such as prom, wedding or any special event, really. You can use this brush for highlighting and contouring, blush, and even powder. They have eye shadow brushes that blend so smoothly and they are just beautiful. I can't even explain how much I love these brushes.

There is one specific brand from the drugstore that is extremely popular, and those are EcoTools brushes. They make every kind of brush, face, foundation, powder, shadow brushes, and more. The typical foundation brush looks like this:

I absolutely do not like these types of brushes because they are extremely streaky, the brush hairs fall out quickly and it makes you look cakey. I think a brush like Real Techniques, or a MAC brush would be the best for somebody. A Real Techniques Stippling Brush only costs $10, and it is the best 10 bucks that I have ever spent. I can't stress enough how much I am in love with this brush! As long as you do your research, and go for the right brand of brushes, and will have a flawless face.
