Over the course of their careers, makeup artists test hundreds of makeup brushes and find real diamonds among them, which they are happy to recommend to their colleagues. Below we talk about fluffy lifesavers that craftsmen buy again and again, have several backup copies, care for and cherish.

Nam Vo is one of the most famous makeup artists in the world, and her ideal, radiant makeup images are an example to follow. In her work, the makeup artist often uses the Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder Brush and most often uses it to apply blush, highlighter or bronzer. A master can even blend eye shadow with this brush, despite its rather large volume. Nam Vo points out that the tool is easy to control so as not to overdo the color intensity of the product.

Setting Brush by Real Techniques

Celebrity makeup artistKatie Jane Hughes loves the Setting Brush from Real Techniques. And it's not just about the nice price. With its help, the makeup artist applies foundation, powder, blush and other products when they need to be used pointwise, for example, around the wings of the nose or under the eyes.

E06 Winged Liner Brush from Sigma

Makeup artist Kat Bardot, who works in television and film, loves using the mini eyeliner brush from Sigma. The master points out that with its help you can create incredibly precise lines on the eyelids, as well as draw hairs according to the shape of the eyebrows, imitating the effect of microblading.
