Highlighter brushes

⁣ I went searching for the Real Techniques Blush Brush after seeing my friend @beautyblogbystef rave about it forever. While I couldn’t find the single brush by itself where I live, I did end up finding this Everyday Essentials kit and I couldn’t resist.⁣ ⁣ This is how I’ve been using them -⁣ ⁣ • RT 309 Deluxe Crease Brush - I’ve been using this to apply my @pixibeauty Correction Concentrate to brighten my under eye area, it works really well for cream products.⁣ ⁣ • RT 400 Blush Brush - I’ve been using this one to apply bronzer and I love it for that! It’s big and fluffy but not too dense so it only picks up just the right amount of product.⁣ ⁣ • RT 300 Expert Face Brush - I’ve been using this brush to apply my liquid foundations and cc creams and I love how soft it is, it blends everything out beautifully.⁣ ⁣ • RT 402 Setting Brush - This one I’ve been using to set my under eye area with my @fentybeauty setting powder and have also used it to apply highlight, it works great for both!⁣ ⁣ This set also came with a beauty sponge that I’ve used and loved before (it rivals the beauty blender for a fraction of the cost). These brushes are incredibly soft and feel way more expensive than they are. If you’re looking for some new makeup brushes I’d definitely recommend checking these out; I grabbed this at Walmart for about $25.⁣

These are two of my favorite brushes for using setting powder, particularly around my eyes! Best part is that they’re both SUPER affordable. The e.l.f. brush is actually their blush brush, but I find that the tapered shape is perfect for applying setting powder. It’s only $4 and available at Ulta, Target and CVS. I love it for setting both under my eyes and the rest of my face since it’s a larger size. The Real Techniques setting brush is the perfect size for setting your under eyes and eyelids. It ranges from $4-$8 and can be found at some drugstores, Target and Ulta. It’s also a great highlighter brush. e.l.f. - e.l.f. Blush Brush REAL TECHNIQUES - Setting Brush

Please do not waste tons of money on highlighting brushes. I know, that’s easier said then done. I’ve been using the Highlighting Brush from e.l.f cosmetics and it’s easily become my favorite. The size and shape are perfect ! It’s dense enough to hold product but it’s not stiff so when you apply your highlight it applies perfectly. I have so many other highlighting brushes but I’ve ONLY been using this one. Not to mention the quality of this brush is amazing, it does not shed at all. e.l.f. - e.l.f. Highlighting Brush

It’s a simple highlighter brush but I have had it for years and love it! Totally affordable and works pretty well.

it can be easy to feel like you need a hundred products for a flawless makeup application—this is not the case! I have found I can get a perfect base and eyeshadow look with just these 5! beautyblender - Nude first and foremost, there’s nothing like the beauty blender. I’ve tried every “dupe” there is, nothing comes close! you can use this for your foundation, and because of the material and shape it never leaves harsh lines or marks. I ALSO use this for my concealer, so it’s really a great multi use tool! ecoTOOLS - Blending & Bronzing Brush this is my favorite brush for bronzing. because of the stippled bristles, it diffuses the product in a beautiful, natural way. my bronzer never looks too heavy or marked. my favorite brush!! wet n wild - wet n wild Fluffy Blending Brush wet n wild makes some of the best brushes i’ve ever used. they come in a set around the holidays and i also get them for the fluffy + highlight brushes. these absolutely hold their own against more expensive counterparts. if you haven’t tried them yet, do!! lastly, if you use powder blush, a simple blush brush is the final brush you need. that’s it! 5 products, a blended, flawless base. I have probably used over 200 makeup brushes at this point in my life. deciding on these 5 was surprisingly easy. the way I was able to narrow it down was the fact that all of these brushes are multi use. I’ve used the fluffy brush for both eyeshadow AND concealer. the bronzer brush is also wonderful for blush. the blush brush has been used for both highlighter and bronzer when I’ve been in a pinch. the beauty blender of course can be used for foundation, concealer, contour, and liquid blush. if you’re able to, always try to find products that are multi use!! I’ve challenged myself to use less products and these 5 make it totally doable! #cheriepartner #cheriecreator
