Whats In My Make Up Bag - Part 3 'BRUSHES'

I don't own tonnes of brushes the ones i have i use all the time so here are all my brushes

 
Now i will go through them all individually top to bottom and tell you what i use them for.
 
 
 
Big Powder Brush: I use this to apply face powder and also to blend out my blusher/bronzer.It's a bit tatty I've had it for ages and love it but i really need a new powder brush so if you have any recommendation's for me just leave a comment.
 
Medium Powder Brush:I use this for blusher its from a Front cover set i got my self for xmas last year.
 
Small Domed Powder Brush: I use this for contouring as it's tapered so it works really well for me
 
Real Techniques Stippling Brush: I now LOVE this brush when i first started using it i didn't quite know what i was doing but now after some practice i really recommend this brush for foundation application, I want to try their buffing brush too to compare them.



 
 
Small Flat Brush: This is what i use for my eyebrows it's really flat so it's really precise for fine lines.
 
Small Domed Brush: This is the main eyeshadow brush i use for applying lighter colours to my lid.
 
Medium Fluffy Brush: I use this to apply the darker colours to the outer part of my lid.
 
Blending Brush: Well the name explains what i use it for i tend to switch between this and the urban decay blending bush.
 
Medium Flat Brush: This is originally an eyeshadow brush but i use it for concealer.
 
 
 
Urban Decay Double Ended Brush: This is the brush i got with my naked 2 pallet i don't really use the flatter side as it doesn't really pick up eyeshadow but u realy like the fluffy blending side.
 
Retractable Lip Brush: I only use this sometimes im not really a fan of lip brushes.
 
Large Flat Brush: this is my highlighting brush for my cheek's it used to be my blusher brush but i found it was too small for blusher.
 
Medium Fluffy Brush:  This is just a spare eyeshadow brush it's there just in case one of my others is being washed.
 
Eyebrow Brush: this is what i just use to comb my eyebrows before filling them in.
 
 
Well this is the brushes section of 'Whats in my make up bag' post's 
 
Hope you enjoyed reading all 3 parts i'm not doing a 'whats in my make up bag' lips post as i don't keep my lipsticks in my make up bag i keep them in my handbag so i might do a little handbag post.
 
Have you done a make up bag post if so leave me a link in the comments box i would love to read them all

  3. Hi just found you through the blog hop :) I would definitely recommend the Real Techniques buffing brush! I have the stippling brush as well but don't find it quite as ridiculously easy as the buffing brush is to apply foundation!

  4. I'm a total brush snob, I have tons of MAC, Illamasqua, NARS, Louise Young etc. but Real Techniques are SERIOUSLY AMAZING!! The buffing brush is fab! I bought just one brush thinking they were going to be pants. I thought it was all media hype but they are so good, now I've got all the Real Techniques brushes! oops! My expensive brushes have all taken a back seat! Boots had that 3 for 2 offer on, not sure if they still have it on, but well worth it!
