Meet my family of
Makeup Brushes

| My blush brushes (top brush is he bronzing brush by Tarte. LOVE IT! It is a great blending brush too! |
Below are my loose powder and
blush brushes from:
As you can see, there are ALOT of choices if you went 'makeup brush hunting' as I suggested you do and I will bet you aren't paying attention or you think this blog is blowing hot air (my Grandma used to say that). I assure you, I am not here to waste time. We have a goal and that goal is to look our very most bestest best for ourselves (this always comes first!) and loved ones (let's make those hubbies out there happy campers!). I know you are chomping at the bit, tally ho on we go!
More of my brush collection
Above in picture A and B the same brushes are shown. I purchased them at Joann's in the crafting area. They are actually paint brushes and the tip of the bristles are quite rigid, thus enabling the user to render a nice crisp line of color (eye liner) and GREAT for cats eyes. Cost - $2.45 each.
Now, these two (bottom one from Sephora - Professional mineral powder brush. The top, Sephora foundation stippling brush - generic name).
This is my Estee Lauder powder brush which I use with light translucent powder to 'set' my foundation. We will learn what 'setting' makeup is later on, but right now let's say that loose powder keeps your 'face' from sliding off. ;)
The funny looking thing below it is GET READY FOR IT .......................................
A snippet of the thing that enveloped last years Thansgiving turkey!!! Aren't I smart? Yeah I know, that was a conceited thing to say so shoot me,. ONWARD!!
This is what it looks like with the netting on. The mesh holds the bristles together so they don't splay out in all directions and become ruined. This works extra great when your brush bristles are drying or even when you travel this helps the brush retain its shape Neat, huh?
This is my favorite double ended blush/highlight/contouring brush from Lacome. I am fond of it because it is easer for me to use verses trying to juggle two separate brushes and then putting one of them down and misplacing one or the other. In other words, it saves me a headache and saves me time.
Above is a small sample of my foundation/concealer brushes. on the left is by Chanel, Lancome, elf, Sepora, and again Sephora (in order). The ones I use the most and are most fond of are the ones not manufactured by elf. My dislike is not pertaining to their quality because they are good quality brushes. I don't know what it is but there's something about the handle I really do not care for. I think it is the color, I hate the color white, it seems so barren too me. It 'feels' too sterile and I hate that feeling. Oh well we move on.
Now don't forget those little brushes that come in the store bought products, you know the blushes and eye shadows that you purchase at your local drug store or five and dime. OR PERHAPS you're he one who throws them out (SHAME on you!) , but hey I am one to talk I have thrown mine out and regretted it the next day too. Have you done that too? Come on you know who you are...
I should stop here and tell you those little brushes come in quite handy, especially if you are someone who does daily touchups. I, personally am the 'lipstick sneak'. Meaning I am constantly freshening up my 'look' with one of the half dozen tubes of lipstick that reside in my rose covered makeup bag that lives in my purse pocket. Have compact, will travel!
Well lovelies that is about all I have to say for today. I will be back. I am probably going to do my next blogging on our next step - choosing a foundation. I know how to not choose the right color, but learned very quickly how to get the right shade either by mixing two shades (I tend to be picky here) there is only one foundation I really like (oh, alright I can live with more than one).
Stay tuned you beautiful women.

NOTE - Too much foundation can age you. A caked look is not a sexy look.
