When it comes to makeup, application is everything. Having the right tools at your disposal differentiates between a blotchy, streaky application and a perfectly blended red blush and contour. Your fingers and a makeup sponge have a time and place, but if you&#;re chasing a professional-grade finish, enlisting the help of the best makeup brushes is the logical solution.
Green Brush are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
"Makeup brushes provide a more precise and controlled application. They make your makeup look more natural and refined. Brushes are designed to target specific areas of the face, such as the eyes, cheeks, or lips, with greater accuracy than sponges or fingers," explains celebrity makeup artist Benjamin Puckey. "Brushes allow for better control over the amount of product applied because they let you pick up the desired amount of product and evenly distribute it onto the skin."
While brush sets can seem like an easy solution to curating a well-rounded lineup, having brushes from a handful of brands will elevate your collection. Here, Puckey and makeup artists Lisa Aharon and Judi Gabbay Braha share their favorite makeup brush picks and application tips. I also put top-rated makeup brushes to the test. Find the best, below.
The Best Makeup Brushes
The Best Foundation and Concealer Makeup Brushes
&#;Synthetic brushes with densely packed bristles are preferred for liquid or cream foundations. These brushes provide a smooth and even application, allowing you to blend the foundation seamlessly into the skin,&#; explains Puckey. &#;For powder foundations, a large, fluffy brush is ideal for a lightweight and natural application.&#;
The Best Makeup Brush for Foundation and Creams
Refy Duo Face Brush
$24 on Sephora
The Refy Duo Face Brush has everything you need for a flawless foundation application. The white stippling bristles provide a streak-free application and easy blend, while the smaller buffing brush is jam-packed with soft, dense bristles that leave the perfect amount of product on your skin and allow for buildable coverage. The combination of bristles and brush types ensures a natural finish for a no-makeup-makeup look.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Cream products
Brush Density: Tightly-packed with dense bristles on the buffer side and less-dense bristles on the stippling side.
Shape: Dome-shaped stippling brush and flat buffing brush
What We Love: A dual-ended brush with soft bristles that blends seamlessly and provides buildable coverage.
What We Don&#;t: Some reviews say the stippling side&#;s bristles fall out easily.
Marie Claire&#;s Review: &#;The Refy Duo Face Brush convinced me to drop my makeup sponge. Swirling the stippling brush around my face blends out my foundation beautifully, with no streaks or splotches. As someone with dry, sensitive skin, the soft bristles leave my skin looking ultra-smooth and hydrated while still providing a natural finish. The buffer brush is perfect for blending concealer, cream bronzer, and cream blush back into the foundation in between each step to avoid harsh lines. The versatility of this brush just cannot be beaten.&#; &#; Emma Aerin Becker, Freelance Beauty Writer

The Best Makeup Brush for Concealer
Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Concealer Brush
$18 at Sephora
If you want that fingertip-like blend with the cleanliness of a brush, look no further than the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Concealer Brush. Its short and slanted shape was designed to mimic the shape of fingertips for quick and creaseless concealer blending. The densely packed synthetic bristles work to buff out any streaks and leave the right amount of product on the skin, while the pointed precision tip allows you to hit all those nooks and crannies under the eyes, around the nose, and along the corners of the mouth.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Concealer
Brush Density: High density
Shape: Short and angled
What We Love: The dense bristles provide similar application to your fingertips without any streaks or patches.
What We Don&#;t: Some reviewers say the brush can be too dense for under eyes, though great for covering blemishes.
Marie Claire&#;s Review: &#;I tend to use my fingers to blend my concealer, although I know it&#;s not the most hygienic method &#; which is why I was so happy to find the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Concealer Brush. The angled shape, dense, short bristles, and soft synthetic fibers really do mimic the application of a tapping fingertip. The brush quickly and seamlessly covered up my dark circles and puffy eye bags without the product feeling too heavy on the delicate area. The pointed tip of the brush was also perfect for those hard-to-reach spots like the inner eye corner and creases around the nose.&#; &#; Emma Aerin Becker, Freelance Beauty Writer

The Best Makeup Brush for Foundation
Kevyn Aucoin The Duet Foundation Brush
$52 at Bluemercury
If you&#;re not a brush person, I challenge you to take this dual-ended Kevyn Aucoin foundation brush for a spin. The dome-shaped end is designed to mimic the shape and pressure of a finger, so you&#;ll easily be able to achieve the sink-into-the-skin effect. Then, just flip your brush around to the fluffier side and you can blend and buff out any streaks or cakiness. It&#;s truly a dynamic duo that&#;ll work on any formula, be it cream, powder, or liquid.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Foundation
Brush Density: Medium density
Shape: Angled on the buff side, dome-shaped on the cover side
What We Love: Brush works great with all foundation types; has a large buffer for all over and small end for more precision
What We Don&#;t: Nothing! This brush has exceptional reviews no matter where you look
The Best Powder Makeup Brushes
"For powder, I prefer a medium-sized domed brush with soft bristles that give a light and even application," says Puckey. The density will vary depending on the shape of the brush and desired finish.
The Best Makeup Brush for Pressed Powder
BK Beauty 108 Precision Powder
$30 at BK Beauty
This multi-purpose tool is definitely small but mighty. BK Beauty&#;s 108 Precision Powder is a smaller, tapered brush with ultra-soft synthetic bristles perfect for mattifying your T-zone. The versatile size of this low-density brush makes setting your under eyes, swiping highlighter on your high points, and placing your blush exactly where you want it a breeze.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Powder
Brush Density: Low density
Shape: Tapered dome-shaped
What We Love: An incredibly versatile tool, perfect for any precise powder application.
What We Don&#;t: If you&#;re looking for an all-over matte look, this brush may not be your top choice for setting powder.
Marie Claire&#;s Review: &#;My only complaint regarding this brush is that I don&#;t have multiple of them! The size, shape, and density makes it perfect for so many different powder products. It set my under-eye concealer and powdered my T-zone beautifully; I can&#;t get over how well it blended out my blush across my cheeks and temples. Despite its small size, the BK Beauty 108 Precision Powder really can do it all.&#; &#; Emma Aerin Becker, Freelance Beauty Writer

$65
at Amazon

A good loose powder brush is an integral part of my routine to ensure my makeup looks airbrushed all night long. Without a swipe of translucent powder, my under eyes will crease, and my complexion is going to be way too shiny. Enter: Hourglass&#; powder brush, a dual-ended tool that&#;s designed to grip every area of the face. The smaller end is perfect for the under eyes, while the fluffier side is ideal for sweeping translucent powder across the entire face. The fibers are made of synthetic PETA-approve fibers as well.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Loose powder
Brush Density: Low density
Shape: Dome-shaped
What We Love: Larger end diffuses powder perfectly around the face, while the smaller side allows for a more precise placement
What We Don&#;t: Some reviewers say the brush is comparable to much cheaper options and that the bristles are hard to handle.
The Best Bronzer and Blush Makeup Brushes
It&#;s no secret that cream bronzer and blush products have taken the makeup industry by storm. Fortunately, these popular formula changes have brought on a plethora of incredible brushes that are designed to blend your creams without leaving streaks, while also being able to set them with powdered versions of the same step.
The Best Makeup Brush for Contour
Makeup by Mario F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush
$30 at Sephora
This dual-sided brush is the holy grail for cream products. The larger end has a uniquely sloped shape that perfectly hugs the curves of the face, ensuring a quick and seamless blend. The smaller end is compact with synthetic bristles, perfect for packing on contour for a more controlled application. It provides buildable layers for your desired level of coverage. I like to tap product on for fuller coverage and blend in loose circles for a more diffused finish.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Foundation and creams
Brush Density: Medium density on larger end, and high density on smaller end
Shape: Flatter dome-shape
What We Love: Super versatile and easy to clean
What We Don&#;t: While advertised as a foundation brush, reviewers found that it left their foundation streaky
Marie Claire&#;s Review: &#;I&#;ve always struggled to blend out my cream contour without leaving harsh lines, but this brush changed that. I used the larger end for my cream bronzer and the smaller end for my cream brush, and the products blended together seamlessly. The slightly curved shape really does form to the unique curves of your face, and the soft bristles make blending a breeze! Extra points for the brush staying perfectly in shape after using it.&#; &#; Emma Aerin Becker, Freelance Beauty Writer

The Best Makeup Brush for Bronzer
Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush
$26 at Sephora
Layering cream and powder formulas on top of one another is a trick beloved by the pros&#;it&#;s the key to creating long-lasting wear, deeper dimension, and a slightly intensified finish. This brush was created for exactly that. The angled end is great for cream contours or swooping pigment. Buff it out before layering your powder bronzer over the top with the fluffier end of the brush. If you want to take a page out of Ta&#;s notebook, flip the script and put your powder on before your cream.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic and natural blend
What It&#;s For: Contour for both powders and creams
Brush Density: Medium density
Shape: Wide and angled
What We Love: A one-stop shop for both cream and powder bronzer

Just swirl it in your pigment and sweep the product onto your cheeks. If you want a less intense look, move your brush in light, circular motions&#;the more pressure you use, the more pigment you&#;ll see. If you clean your brush, you can also use it for loose powder or bronzer.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Blush
Brush Density: Low density
Shape: Dome-shaped
What We Love: Super fluffy; Disperses product perfectly
What We Don&#;t: Some reviewers found the brush&#;s bigger size too large for blush application.
The Best Eyeshadow Makeup Brushes
At a baseline, you need two distinct eyeshadow brushes&#;a larger fluffy brush and a smaller firm brush. "The tighter the bristles and the smaller the brush, the more concentrated the product is going to be," says Braha. "So think bigger brush, fluffier brush, means more dispersed products.&#; For glitter shadows, Braha recommends "a synthetic, smaller, combatant brush to get the glitter to not fly out everywhere." If you really like to play up your artistry, you may want to scope out the scene for a defining brush that can perfect pigment on the lash line or cut crease.
The Best Makeup Brush for Eyeshadow
Sephora Collection Pro Crease Brush #19
$22 at Sephora
The Sephora Collection Pro Crease Brush #19 is the only brush you&#;ll need for a simple eyeshadow look. The pointed, tapered shape fits perfectly in the crease of the eyelid, and its hand-shaped synthetic bristles are fluffy enough to use as an all-over blending brush. If I hold it flat, it allows me to build up pigment, whereas if I tilt the positioning to a 45-degree angle, it&#;s an expert blender. All it requires is feather-light pressure and my eyeshadow becomes blended to perfection, with no harsh lines or stark delineations.
Brush Fiber: Synthetic
What It&#;s For: Eyeshadow crease
Brush Density: Medium density
Shape: Pointed, tapered
What We Love: Blends out eyeshadow beautifully and nestles perfectly in the eyelid crease
What We Don&#;t: Some users find the brush too soft and small to deliver maximum pigment
Marie Claire&#;s Review: &#;I&#;ve used this eyeshadow brush for years and it&#;s still in pristine condition. The bristles are super soft and make blending out my eyeshadow looks incredibly easy. I love the way I can pack on product to my outer corner and crease while also being able to blend the whole look together with just one brush.&#; &#; Emma Aerin Becker, Freelance Beauty Writer

Anastasia Beverly Hills A13 Pro Brush
$21 at Bloomingdales
The dome shape and densely packed natural fibers make this little guy ideal for packing color directly onto the lid.

What It&#;s For: Cream, metallic, and glitter eyeshadow

I grab my favorite pomade and ever-so-lightly deposit hair-like strokes into my brows, filling in any gaps and strengthening my border. Then, it&#;s just a little flip of the brush and I can comb through my brows, diffuse the pigment, and create a natural-looking finish.

What to Look For in Makeup Brushes
You want to pick a brush that makes sense for the area you're working with. The two main factors: Size and shape. "For larger areas of the face, I like to use a larger fluffier brush," explains Aharon. Flat or paddle-shaped brushes will be your go-to for foundations and powders, but dome shapes are more versatile and ideal for blending products like blush or bronzer.
The formula you're working with (cream, powder, or liquid) will determine how dense of brush you should look for. "For cream products, I recommend a more dense, synthetic brush where the bristles are super compact, so you can get the product and really push it into the skin," explains Braha. "And a powder would be something a little bit more fluffy, flexible, and just easier to disperse in the face."
Makeup brushes are going to fall into two camps: Natural and synthetic. Natural brushes are known to be softer finish, however many times they're made from animal hair. "Synthetic brushes don't shed hair like natural bristles tend to do," explains Puckey. "They give me the same results as natural bristles and are typically made from materials such as nylon or taklon, while natural bristles are derived from animal hair, such as goat, squirrel, or sable."
How Many Makeup Brushes Do I Need?
How many brushes you really need to complete your collection? "If your routine is more complex or advanced, I&#;d say six to eight. If you&#;re more of a no fuss, fresh-faced person that likes to keep their glam basic, five should be plenty," Aharon adds. At a minimum, you'll want a foundation/concealer brush, a blush brush, a bronzer brush, a powder brush, and an eyeshadow brush.
How Do I Clean My Makeup Brushes?
It's pretty easy. Liquid soap, a solid bar, or a quick-drying brush spray all get the job done, but Aharon prefers a soap bar, as "it allows you to thoroughly work out the product and grime from the brushes." Just work your fingers through the brush until the water washes out clean. Make sure do let your brushes dry laying down too in order to preserve the brush quality.
How Often Should I Clean My Makeup Brushes?
Finding the right type of brush is only half the battle when it comes to mastering your product application. Clean brushes are the key to application, according to Aharon, because "brushes perform best when they&#;re clean and free of bacteria." While she washes her brushes every night, Aharon notes, "that&#;s not realistic for most people. If you use your brushes daily, aim to clean them at least once a week as a minimum."

Updated August 30, : This article on the best makeup brush sets was updated with new makeup brush set picks after conducting a round of product testing. Our editors are currently testing more makeup brush sets from brands like Charlotte Tilbury and Iconic London for consideration in this expert-approved guide.
An artist is only as good as their tools, and we&#;re not just talking about painters. The same rule applies in the realm of cosmetics: Your makeup can only be as good as your applicators, which is why you should upgrade your collection to include the best makeup brush sets to ensure that your every beauty need is met.
Expertly-curated makeup brush sets come stocked with high-quality options that cater to the face, cheeks, eyes, brows, and more, but if you&#;ve yet to master the art of contouring, defining, shading, highlighting, no worries; you don&#;t have to be a professional to operate this fine equipment. According to celebrity makeup artist and brow expert, Danielle Kimiko Vincent, founder of Kimiko, everyone from beginner makeup moguls to celebrity artists can benefit from investing in a complete set of the essential types of makeup brushes.

&#;I love a good brush set because it can encourage you to start experimenting with new techniques that you might not have otherwise considered,&#; Vincent explains. &#;For example, an angled eyeshadow brush can be used in many more ways than a standard flat brush. You might learn to create a color wash with the wide section of the brush, and then use the narrow side to create an accent with a darker color.&#;

It also helps that there&#;s &#;usually a price break,&#; when you opt to purchase an entire set versus individual blush brushes, bronzer brushes, and eye makeup brushes, Vincent adds. &#;Even if one of the brushes doesn&#;t become a favorite, you&#;ll likely make use of most of them, so the value is there.&#;
The best set of makeup brushes for you depends on your everyday beauty preferences, the types of bristles that work with your skin, and other special features like weighted handles for shaky hands. To create this list of the best makeup brushes sets, we spoke with Vincent, as well as celebrity makeup artist Linda Hay, celebrity makeup artist and Jamie Makeup founder Jamie Greenberg, makeup artist Neil Scibelli, and global makeup artist for Jane Iredale Nechelle Turner.

Why Do I Need Makeup Brushes?
No surprise here, but even if you already own the highest quality makeup on the market, your results simply won&#;t look as good without the proper tools. &#;Makeup brushes pick up the formula and help flawlessly blend product onto the skin,&#; explains Scibelli, who adds that they&#;re especially great for beginners testing out new makeup products. &#;Although I&#;m a fan of using your [clean] fingers for cream products like concealer and cream blush, makeup brushes are essential when it comes to applying and blending powder products, as well as creating an even finish.&#;
That&#;s not the only reason brushes should be an essential part of your at-home makeup kit. Scibelli notes that those who rely on their fingers for makeup application should be proceed with caution. Fingers can leave trails of oil, bacteria, and even fingerprints on the skin, which can ultimately lead to breakouts. So, keep things hygienic with sanitized makeup brushes.
The Best Makeup Brushes to Look for in a Set
Despite what you may see on TikTok, you don&#;t need an overwhelming number of brushes to achieve a professional-level look. According to Greenberg and Hay, your kit should include a mix of the following types of makeup brushes:
- Foundation brushes to apply and blend your face makeup. Hay recommends keeping two: One for applying foundation and the other for polishing the skin.
- Angled brushes for brows and eyeliner.
- Eyeshadow brushes in various sizes. Hay recommends options that range from the tiniest point for fine work up to big, fluffy eyeshadow brushes for buffing and blending shadows.
- Pencil brushes for the lower lash line and a more concentrated shadow color in the outer corner of your eye.
- Concealer brushes for smaller, more targeted applications.
- Powder brushes for applying setting powder to the T-zone, as well as blending powder bronzer or blush onto the skin.
- Angled contour brushes for bronzer and contour sticks.
- Lip brushes to detail richly pigmented lip colors, like red lipstick, and to blend and diffuse lip liner.
What to Look For In the Best Makeup Brushes Sets
While makeup brush sets are an excellent investment, like anything else, not all sets are created equally. Ergo, when shopping for the best makeup brushes, there are some key details to consider.
Synthetic vs. natural hair
Turner explains that bristles on makeup brushes are either natural (sourced from animals like squirrels, goats, and ponies) or synthetically made from nylon, polyester, or other synthetic fibers. Natural hair brushes, Turner says, have cuticles, making them porous, therefore, they attract and keep the product in the brush, which ultimately results in a more sheer application. &#;Their porous nature can also make them a breeding ground for bacteria,&#; Turner says, adding that natural hair brushes also tend to be a higher price point and their longevity is questionable.
Synthetic brushes feel more like natural hair brushes and are nonporous. As such, they &#;pick up and distribute more product onto the skin for a more defined and more precise application,&#; Turner says. That being said, because synthetic brushes pick up and distribute more product, Turner advises using a lighter hand. It&#;s also worth noting that synthetic brushes which are stiff or have a shiny coating can result in a streaky makeup application, so you want to look for fluffy, softer bristles.
Hay uses a mix of natural and synthetic bristled brushes on her celebrity clients, and she notes that the choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. &#;The quality of synthetic bristles has come such a long way,&#; Hay explains, noting that Hourglass makes options she loves to use.
&#;In either case, look for shedding,&#; Turner warns. &#;Shedding or lack of shedding bristles is a good indication of the quality of the fibers in both cases.&#;
Number of makeup brushes
Be realistic about how many brushes you need and how many brushes you&#;ll actually use. &#;If you&#;re advanced and like to try new techniques and looks, then a larger set with a wide range of variety will suit you best,&#; Vincent explains. &#;If you&#;re relatively simple with your makeup, then an edited set will be great for you.&#;
&#;A basic brush set for the minimalist might be a five- to eight-piece brush set with foundation, blush, powder, lip, and eye shadow brushes,&#; says Hay, who notes that double-ended brush sets are handy, as a five-brush set with dual-ended bristles gives you 10 brush options to work with.
Handle material and length
Vincent tells WWD that as far as length goes, medium or shorter handles work well overall and fit better within a personal makeup bag. However, for a professional makeup artist, longer handles are ideal for powder and blush application. &#;This allows me to view my client from slightly further back, giving me a fuller picture of what I&#;m creating,&#; she says.
As for handle material, there are two options: wooden or plastic. &#;This may not be important for everyone,&#; Vincent prefaces, &#;but specifically for natural brushes, I prefer a beautiful wooden handle and brush hairs that have been hand cut and tied. This usually means high attention to detail has been taken with the taper and placement of the brush hairs, which I find translates to a more refined lay-down of powdered products.&#;
With sets geared towards beginners, pros, and every mastery level in between, the best makeup brush sets accommodate a wide range of beauty abilities with their basic, essential, and expert brush pairings. Below, find the best makeup brush sets that will satisfy every beauty buff&#;s skillset and budget.
How To Clean Makeup Brushes
&#;In general, clean brushes will give you a cleaner result,&#; explains Hay. While she washes her brushes on a daily basis, Hay explains that how frequently you wash your tools depends on how much makeup you use. &#;For example, if you&#;ve given yourself a smokey black eye one day and plan on doing something bronzy and natural the next, you may need to wash and refresh them.&#; Hay uses Johnson&#;s Baby Shampoo
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends cleaning makeup brushes every seven to 10 days at a minimum to prevent bacteria growth. Luckily, it&#;s not a terribly time-consuming task, and the steps to properly cleanse your makeup brushes are relatively easy:
- Fill a bowl with warm water and a few drops of a gentle shampoo. Hay recommends using Johnson&#;s Baby Shampoo, which she likes for its antibacterial properties and gentle formulation.
- Place the brushes bristle side down in the bowl of water and let them soak for three to five minutes.
- Then, &#;address each brush individually,&#; says Hay. She recommends placing a dollop of shampoo in the palm of your hand, massaging the bristles into the soap, then thoroughly rinsing the bristles. Brushes exposed to concentrated pigments like eyeshadows or eyeliners may need to passes for a thorough cleanse.
- When clean, it&#;s crucial to rinse your brushes extremely well, as soap residue can interfere with makeup application as well as irritate the skin.
- The last step is to take a clean microfiber towel and gently squeeze out excess water, reshape the brushes, and lay them flat over the sink&#;s edge to dry. &#;Laying flat ensures no water seeps into the handle and damages your brushes,&#; explains Vincent. &#;I also ensure brushes are bone dry before storing upright, for the same reason of preserving the life of my beautiful brushes.&#;
How We Tested and Selected the Best Makeup Brush Sets
To create this list of the best makeup brush sets, our editors began with expert outreach to professional makeup artist for their input on key qualities to look for in a makeup brush set. Using their expertise, we selected 37 makeup brush sets to evaluate over two rounds of product testing. Then, we enlisted a panel of five beauty product testers to try these sets at home.
Our testers evaluated each makeup brush set based off of a list of criteria that includes bristle density, softness, and materials, as well as durability. While testing, we made sure to use each brush set with liquid, cream, and powder makeup products to assess their versatility. Each tester also washed the makeup brush sets to ensure that the tools hold up to regular care, wear, and tear. Makeup brush sets that lost bristles, supplied too few or too many tools, or were uncomfortable to hold in the hand were excluded from our list. After a second round of testing, our editors removed two makeup brush sets that were outperformed by new kits that we tried. The below makeup brush sets were close runner-ups, with only minor flaws that made them second-best to the picks on our list.
- Jessup Makeup Brush Set
- Real Perfection Makeup Brush Set
- Luxbru Makeup Brush Set
- Sephora Collection The Face Brush Set
- Morphe Vegan Pro Makeup Brush Set
- Real Techniques Chrome Era Maxed Out Eye and Brow Makeup Brush Set
