Current Favorite Brushes

Hey what's up everyone? I'm going to do a video on my favorite brushes. I've been requested to do this quite a lot and all these brushes are like not clean at all so please just excuse it. I'm going to try to go through them fast so this video's not long and tedious but I'll try to explain as much as I can what I use the brushes for and like why I like them and stuff.

So ignore, ignore, in no particular order. I'm going to start with a Kabuki and this is by Coastal Scents. It's very soft; it's synthetic, of course. It looks like a little, it looks like a dome, like a cone shape or dome, it's very, very soft, and this is meant for like liquid foundations. I've never used this for powder but it blends liquid foundations like no other. There is a baby brush that comes, well, it doesn't come with it, but there's like a baby sized one exactly like this. I don't think I've used it that much though. I really like this so it gives you that really airbrushed look. I like that it's nice and dense so you have no problem blending it in or blending your foundation into your skin.

The next one is also a Coastal Scents Kabuki brush and this is the flat top brush. I have two of these so this is my older one. It's very soft, it's synthetic, it's not as dense as it probably would come but I mean I use this a lot. I mainly like this for powder. You can use this with liquid foundation but it's really up to you. There are really no restrictions when it comes to what you use your brushes for. It's totally up to you.

The next is a fan brush also by Coastal Scents. I like this for highlights on the cheekbones or blush. If you just want a soft wash of blush or highlight I think that this is the perfect brush.

The next one is the MAC 165 that is similar to the MAC 109. It's a small brush. I like to use this for powder under my eyes when I set my concealer because I like that it gets in here and I don't only like putting concealer just right here. I do the whole triangle method so this is big enough to just set it and instead of using like a smaller brush. I also use this for contouring, for blush but I mainly use this for under my eyes for the powder. You could even use that for your foundation but it just sheds a lot when you buff it in.

The next one is, I think it's number 55, it's called an air brush and it comes more dense when you first buy it. You could get this at Sephora. I used to use this for liquid foundation but I switched over to cream just to try it out and I have been using this for powder. So this is perfect for liquid and powder, you could even use this for blush or like for your bronzer. I use this for my face powder and I use MAC's MSF Natural.

The next one is by Coastal Scents and it's just like the flat top Kabuki but smaller and with a handle. I like this for powder, it's nice and dense and I just I really like flat top brushes because it gives you that air brushed look and it kind of packs on the product on your face without it looking cakey. It blends it out really nicely for you.

The next, is this, no this is Sigma. OK this is the Sigma F80 brush and I just received this. People say that it's heavy enough for liquid foundation but I don't use liquid foundation right now so I don't know. I bet it is because it's super soft. It's very dense, very similar to this but just with different bristles. I used it so it's all you know. I used it with powder. I just did a review for this brush so I will link that somewhere on the screen or down below. I use this also for powder, for my MAC MSF sometimes. I just I like the way that it goes on, I like the way it feels.

The next one is by Beach Cosmetics and it's a blush brush. I use this either for my bronzer or for my blush. I like that, I don't know if you could tell that it's skinny that side and that it's like flat this way. It's not like totally a circle. This would be great if you just want a wash of bronzer and you don't want it to be too heavy because you'd probably use something more dense and smaller to contour. If you just want a wash of it this is really good and I, you mainly use this for blush.

The next is the Sigma 168, SS168, they changed the name so I don't know what it's called now, but I use this mainly for contouring. It's the angled white brush. I have a few of these and I love it for contouring. It's one of my favorite brushes to contour with.

The next are eye brushes. The MAC 266, I use this for my eyebrows because I like how tiny the brush is and it's not hard. It doesn't go everywhere so I have really good control of what my eyebrows look like. I like this and I have yet to find an angled brush for my eyebrows to compare to this. MAC has another brush like this. I have it but it's just, I don't know what I did wrong to it but it's just not the same. It's kind of like hard now because I used to never use this and I used to always use the other one. I don't know what the number is, for my eyebrows and I don't know why I stopped using it. Like it just got hard and it just was all sparse and the like bristles were everywhere and it was just not good for my eyebrows anymore. I switched over to that and I really like it because I have more control.

The next one is this Coastal Scents brush and I use this quite a lot. It's a large brush. You could use this for color all over your eyes but I mainly use this for my highlight on my brow bone or under my eyes for powder if I don't use this, the one I just talked about. You can't buy this individually. This comes in one of the Reptile sets. It's like the bronze Reptile set. This is just one of the brushes that come with it but I really like it and I use it like a lot.

The next is just a blending brush. This is the Sigma one in particular but I mean everyone loves a blending brush. You have to blend your eye shadow. The next is a Sigma flat brush. It's the SS239. I don't know what it's called now but I love this for packing on color or even for a brow bone highlight. I don't know, I mean I feel like everyone just needs one of these flat brushes.

The next two are 217's but this one's Sigma and this one's MAC. You could tell the difference between them. Sigma is bigger and longer, wider and longer and the MAC one is shorter. I love both of them for the same reason, just to get in the crease right here. I just like the different sizes. If I want to be really precise I'd use this and then if I just want that nicely blended wash over a dark color than I would use the bigger one.

I hope I got through those pretty fast but I explained enough. I will try to post as many links as I can to the main website to get each brush or I could find like the direct link to everything so it's easier for you guys. That'll be listed down below and I hope you guys found this helpful. I will talk to you guys. Bye.
