I recently purchased some new brushes from Ebay and i love them! They were £11 with free postage and packaging which was such a bargain as the brushes are really good quality.


The brushes came in this little brush holder. I love this as it actually looks really nice and sophisticated for the price! Also its nice to keep them all in order and have something other than my makeup bag to carry them around in.


These are the brushes! (sorry for bad quality) There are 20 brushes in the set but the seller has sets that are smaller and larger and all different coloured handles and brushes. The set has all the essential brushes in and also some ones that will be a bonus to have. I love doing eye makeup so having so many eye shadow brushes is perfect for me.

If your not wanting a full set of 20 there are really 7 brushes that are most essential:

1) the foundation brush- soft, flatter towards the end of the hairs and of decent size to spread the liquid out easier.
2) blusher brush- soft, medium sized brush. These come in several sizes. You can get larger more fan shaped ones useful for bronzer and ones that are more dome shaped that i kind more useful applying blusher on the apples of your cheeks.
3) eyeshadow brush- small stiff brush usually rounded.
4)eyeshadow blending brush- This is a little fluffier than your eyeshadow brush as it needs to make the eyeshadow less severe and blend into the next colour
5)eyeliner brush- This brush is either a thin line or an angled brush. This creates a straight smooth line
6) brow brush- This is always a square flat shape and angled to create a really neat shape
7)Lip brush- A small flat round tipped brush. The lip brush applies the lipstick neater and usually makes the lipstick last a lot longer.

If you want the name of the seller comment below! thankyou xxx
