Here's a few tips on the best makeup brushes for different skin types and/or tones, as well as affordable retailers at various stores!


Recommended Brushes:

There are certain brushes, which may only be used on certain skin types. Some people are allergic to certain brushes-- especially the ones that are the free brush applicators.

Brushes are BETTER than applicators. Applicators are the ones that have a black, thin holder with a spongy-like applicator. These applicators will eventually put you in risk of wrinkles around your eye area (especially your eye lids), and will weaken your skin. Brushes are better, not only because they will not give you that skin damage or wrinkles, but it will give you a cleaner and fresher look. APPLICATORS ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN.

You can find brushes anywhere; but how much are you will to pay for them? That's the question.

**Affordable, but satisfying: Try Walgreens FIRST. Walgreens has good-quality brushes. I purchase my brushes here sometimes because they go on sale. Even when they are not on sale? THEY ARE STILL AT A GOOD PRICE. ($7-$20, varying on what brush you want)

If you do not find anything at Walgreens? Try Target next. Target has affordable brushes. ($3-$30, varying on what brush you want) Or, you can also even try Walmart! (aboutt the same as Target)

**Higher priced, but HIGH quality: Mary Kay. MK Company sells some FABULOUS brushes. I love their powder brush fro mineral powder. The brush spread the mineral powder on evenly, no clumps on my face, and no FLAWS. MK Company has NO flaws in anything they sell. Prices do vary for all of their brushes, but the mineral brush is around $16-$18. I am actually an Independent Beauty Senior Sales Consultant, so you may contact me for further information!

Not interested in MK Company? Try Sephora! Sephora is EVERYWHERE! The only downfall is that Sephora is well-known, and when a company is well-known? Their prices are usually higher than everything else. Sephora may be twice as high as MK Company, but it's just right around the corner. Great makeup, great brushes, and great perfumes and skin care products.
