The Tools for the Job!

Hi Tory,

Buying the right tools makes putting makeup on a lot easier, and you don't need to have a battalion of them to get the job done! The three that I'd say to get to cover most eventualities are:

Essential Brushes

• Small Angled Brush - in the video I have a Ruby & Millie one which has since been discontinued... the MAC 266/263 is the posh version but the Maybelline gel liner comes with one... take a look at the Boots and Superdrug cheaper brands like 17 and so on :)

• Small Flat Eyeshadow Brush - mine is the Urban Decay one, but there are cheaper alternatives in most of the chemist ranges, like this Boots 17 one.
• Small Domed Brush - again the MAC 217 is the posh version (my Ruby & Millie one is discontinued grrr): look for something called a domed brush or a domed blending brush. Boots 7 do one - here.

Next On The List Brushes

• Brow Brush
• Blusher Brush
• Foundation Brush

Later Date Brushes/Possibles

• Large Flat Brush
• Angled Shadow Brush
• Powder Brush

The rest of the brushes that I mentioned (like the concealer brush and the weird scratchy flat one) are just ones that I happen to have but don't really add much overall.

Hugs and kisses,
