Fact: Bobbi Brown can vouch that a make-up application is only as good as the brush you use to apply it.
Essentials: Foundation, Blush, Bronzer, Eye-Shadow, Blending, and Eye-brow brush
Investment: A majority of make-up brushes will be anywhere between $30-65, but I will say it's worth every penny and your results are priceless.
MAC Cosmetics: Foundation brush is amazing and provides a flawless finish.
Be kind: Clean it every day or depending on usage - any shampoo will suffice and be sure to let the brush dry on a flat surface.
