A good set of brushes are also as essential as the right makeup products. The brushes are your key to make your products go on its way and give you the look of your choice.

Makeup brushes come in various forms and shapes. Each of them has its own way of performing its function. Red sable, black sable, camel hair and ox hair are most often used to make the brushes. A complete set of brushes must include a big soft brush (to apply powder), a fine brush (to apply makeup on eyelids), a flat brush (to apply eye shadows) and an eyebrow comb. Eye-lining is done using the round brushes, which is also used for character lining. Eye-color and lip-color application is best blended using a flat brush.
