Over the years many of my tried-and-true lines have revamped their makeup tools and changed materials to synthetics. I’ve split the ones I use the most by category to help you find the tools best suited to your needs. Try a couple from a few brands and see how you like them, then build from there. I’d recommend building your tool set over time. Many brushes can be multi-taskers these days so there is definitely no need to purchase a lot. Over the years I’ve tried a wide range of high-end brushes and because of the product testing and swatching I do I’ve acquired more than the average beauty lover. It’s been a while since I’ve done a makeup brush roundup so I have an updated one for you this week! I’ve always loved trying new brushes and makeup tools, even long before I started this beauty blog.
