Why You Need A Plethora of Makeup Brushes

Sep 21

Written By Elise Tabin

It seems like my makeup brush collection continues to grow no matter how often I edit it. There’s a real need for every type of brush I hoard, from eyeshadow fan brushes to stiff face contouring fans. See, the thing is that you can create many looks using different brushes and a single color. Personally, I like to use bronzer on my lids, in addition to my cheeks, and by using a bunch of different brushes, I’m able to achieve a smoky brown eye.

These are my must-haves to keep on hand so that you, too, can create a wide variety of looks with a single hue.
