While a styling brush set may appear enticing, the average cosmetics user will seldom utilize the majority of it. It is preferable to invest on brushes that you will use frequently rather than purchasing a set and just using half of them. We’ve put up a list of eight beauty brushes, along with descriptions of each one’s functions, so you can figure out which one is right for you.

• Brush with a tapered shape

A tapered face brush is great for powdering your face strategically. The slightly flared bristles take up just enough product to offer you control over how much you apply, and the size is small enough to fit into the crevices of your face that may require powdering, such as around your nose, between your brows, above the chin, and so on. You could also use it to contour the hollows of your cheeks or to sweep highlighter over your cheekbones.

• Brush for buffing

This is for you if you like to apply foundation with a brush rather than a damp sponge. It’s more convenient to use than a flat foundation brush. The densely packed bristles help blend liquids, lotions, and powders into the face smoothly. It’s perfect for applying foundation, concealer and cream blush. The brush’s suppleness will make you feel pampered.

• Small Angled Brush

If you use powder products to define your brows, an angled brush like this one will come in handy. The tiny edge may be used to draw hair-like strokes in sparse regions of your brows. This brush might also be used as an eyeliner brush due to the tight hairs. Drawing flicks and wings of various types is quite simple thanks to the angled form.

• Using an Eye Brush

This brush has the ideal size and shape for applying all types of eyeshadow. Use it to fill in the crease with color and as a blending blush to soften sharp edges.

• Brush for fine details

This teeny-tiny brush is a force to be reckoned with. For more elaborate graphic liner styles, use this detail brush. It also works well for disguising tiny scars and imperfections in certain areas.
