the essentials.

1. Powder Brush - I always get asked whether it is good to put powder on after foundation. It's so important to set your face. 

2. Blush Brush - for beautiful flawless cheekbones.

3. Contour Brush - Can be used to contour cheekbones etc. also use to put on illuminator above cheekbones.

4. Fan Brush - Esspecially when using dark eye shadows, we've all had a little loose pigments fall under our eyes. The trick is to never whip is a tissue and lightly brush with your fan brush.

5.Smudge Brush - My favourite. For blending in eyeshadow and getting that perfect smokey looks.

6. Eyeshadow Brush - For applying shadows to brow bone and lid.

7 & 8. Angled Brushes - Applying gel eyeiner or smudging in eyeshadow or pencil as liner.

9. Brow brush & comb - To groom your brows to perfection.
