Video: Makeup Brushes 101

This is a video with a little Brush 101. I wanted to show you some of the brushes that I use and what they look like. The vast majority of the brushes I own I’ve purchased. I did initially receive some ecoTools brushes from the company to review and I fell in love with them. This led me to purchasing a bunch more on several different occasions. I also purchased two brush sets from Medusa’s Makeup and I’ve been very happy with the quality of their brushes. I’ve purchased all my Sonia Kashuk brushes at my local target. I’ve purchased e.l.f. brushes online but they’re now available at Target.

When it comes to brush care, I use each brush once before I wash it, so some of the brushes you see in the video have product on them, but they’re about to be washed. I use Dr. Bronner’s pure castile soap to cleanse the brushes and then let them dry, with the bristles angled downward. Part of the reason that I have so many brushes is my whole only using them once before they get cleaned!

I forgot to show my Fyrinnae pencil brush and my taklon pointed crease brushes in this video, but they’re also pretty awesome. Ana told me how awesome the Fyrinnae pencil brush was,  so I managed to snag one before they stopped selling them.

    You have such a huge choice when it comes to ecotools brushes! Here we have only several of those and I would like to get some more of their brushes because I find them to be excellent!

    Lately I’ve been ordering brushes from abbamart.com, actually, I’m still waiting to receive 2 order which I placed some time ago and I think they have a good choice of brushes and they are pretty much affordable :)

    I also want to get some MAC brushes, hopefully will very soon :)
