the tools...

I've always loved make up. From applicators, to application tips, to
any product under the rainbow that deals with beauty and cosmetics.

One thing I've learned is that the applicator makes a huge difference in
your overall look. I've wanted brush sets forever, but it can get a
little expensive.

I've found some affordable products over time that I really love and
I wanted to share them with you!

(e.l.f)
These brushes are extremely affordable as you can see. I've used all 3 and
this is why I recommend them. First off you can't beat the price!
The Powder Brush can be used to set your foundation with a transluscent podwer.
I dab it on my face rather than making circular motions.

The Stipple Brush is great for bronzers with or without shimmer because it gives
you a light, even layer.

The Kabuki is my new favorite brush when applying only powder to your face. It
helps get rid of that chalky, dry, powdery look.

BRUSHES: They have the essentials, the minerals, and the studio. I like the studio
because they are softer.

I wish I could add more products, but I just discovered this site recently and
I want to make sure I use and love the products before recommending them. Feel
free to experiment yourself as well. It's worth the trial and error with these great prices.
I bought the Shimmering Facial Whip and I didn't like it at all, but for $1.00 it's worth the shot!



Sigma has great quality brushes. They are pricier than elf, but not too bad.
This is the only brush I own and I use it to apply foundation. I love the
quality and the way it makes the foundation go on the skin. I want to
definitely invest in more Sigma brushes! Will let you know about the rest soon!
I have read good reviews on their shadows, but haven't tried them yet.
This brush brand was created by Samantha Chapman. Her and her sister have
a channel on youtube called pixiwoo which you should definitely check out.
They do make up tutorials and they are both very talented and helpful. Her
brushes are all great quality and affordable and you can find them at Ulta.
Here is another site where you can find a lot of goodies. NYX is one
of the brands I want to start trying out and I was happy to find it on this
site. They also carry other good quality, affordable brands. Great prices on 
brushes too!
