Elf Cosmetics
First up, we have Elf Cosmetics! This is an amazing brand for makeup beginners, their products are both high quality and affordable. In the past, a lot of the brushes would damage and fall apart after washing them. Not these!
Their base brushes (foundation, concealer, etc.) are exceptional and don’t leave a streaky finish! If you want something that will give you the basics check out the Elf Cosmetics 6 Piece Makeup Brush Set. The set comes will all the essentials + it’s inexpensive.
My Favorite Brushes W/ Names:
- Ultimate Blending Brush: Last summer this brush was my go-to for blending my skin tint. It’s great at getting a quick finish without a streaky finish.
- Angled Blush Brush: I literally love this brush SOOO much. If you’re someone who loves lifted blush check this out. It’s amazing at giving you a lifted finish with only a blush.
Real Techniques
Real Techniques hits it out of the park with not only brushes but their beauty blenders as well! Recently this has been the only brand I use when it comes to beauty blenders. Their products are affordable and high quality.
Their beauty blenders come with cases! I’ve found this to be a great perk when it comes to doing your makeup on the go. This way your beauty blender isn’t getting any germs or bacteria on it.
DuCare Beauty
DuCare is an amazing brand, and I highly recommend them! They reached out to me a few months ago to send me some of their brush kits and I was very impressed.
The brushes come in a pack of around 30 and all of them are great! The brushes are high quality, can be thrown around in bags, and blend quickly.
Also, their eyeshadow brushes deserve A WHOLE OTHER section. Their eyeshadow brushes hands down are the best I’ve ever tried.
Eyeshadow blends insanely quickly with no fallout. For my Eyeshadow With Ari series on TikTok these are the only brushes I use, here’s a link to one episode so you can see for yourself!
Wet N Wild
The last brand I have for you is Wet N Wild! This is indeed the cheapest brand, but you get a great deal for what you pay.
Personally, I have found their contour, bronzer, and blush brushes to be the best. Because it is so cheap these are not as high quality, but each brush is around $3 so it’s easily replaceable!
There you have the best makeup brush brands for beginners! From Elf Cosmetics to DuCare Beauty you’ll be sure to find one for you with a flawless finish. Thank you for reading and be sure to subscribe to The Beginners Guide To Makeup Newsletter for more!
