Makeup Brush 101

Hey guys! I’m back with another vlog for you today. Today I’m sharing my favorite, must have, use every day makeup brushes with you. Check it out!

Sephora no longer carries my brush roll. The closest thing they have to my brush roll is the Makeup Artist Brush Belt.

Please keep in mind I’ve been purchasing and collecting my makeup brushes since 2007. The majority of my brushes were purchased in 2007/2008. They have held up remarkably well and I have not had to repurchase any of the brushes you see below. I have gotten rid of a good many “cheap” brushes – mainly drugstore makeup brushes or brushes that come with kits.

I’ve photographed my entire collection for you below. The first picture is brushes I use daily. The other two are brushes that are seldom used and are only used for special occasions/specific looks.

If a brush is linked, it is available in stores or online. If it is not, it is no longer sold. If you see a MAC brush labeled SE, it was sold in a kit during the holidays or with a special collection.
