My Top Five Brushes for Contouring

I have been purchasing and collecting make-up brushes for years; trying to find the perfect brush for contouring my face was a challenge. I finally was able to find five brushes that are perfect for me to contour with.

 

 Here are my top five contour brushes. I feel that they work the best for my face; these brushes distribute the right amount of product, easy to handle, and easily blend the product well to create a perfect contour and sculpted face.

 

 MAC #138 Tapered Brush This was my first brush that I purchased when I began contouring my face, and at the time I bought it, the most expensive. The domed shaped brush is ultra soft with natural fibers; the brush is constructed with a pointed tip and rounded chiselled sides. This brush enhances the technique of sculpting. The tip fits perfectly into the hollows of the cheeks, and the chiselled sides blends the product out.

 MAC #127 Split Fibre Face Brush (alluring aquatic line) I purchased this brush to use as a blush brush but I instantly discovered that this brush is great for contouring. The brush is a split fiber brush (a combination of natural and synthetic fibers), and paddle shaped with a slight tip. I found that this brush fits perfectly in the hollows of the cheek when holding it side ways---the tip of the brush is perfect for picking up the product. The application of the brush is similar to the MAC #138 brush but gives a more sculpted look to the face

.

Make Up Forever 134 Wavy Fan Brush Is made of soft wavy synthetic fibers and can be used for both loose and compact powders. The large, fan shaped brush can be used for highlighting and sculpting. The brush picks up the perfect amount of product and gives a soft defused effect on the face. The base of the fan brush works well for highlighting and blending.

 Nars Ita Brush The concept and function of the Nars Ita brush was created from Japanese culture; the unique design was based on a kabuki artisan brush. The Nars Ita brush is known for its small angular shape and soft black goat hair. This brush is the best of both worlds when it comes to contouring and blending.

.

 Now I'm going to talk about a brush that everyone discards, it's the famous Benefit boxed blush/bronzer brush. The brush is a cheaper with a smaller handle of the Nars Ita brush. I feel that this brush works great for applying the products, its fits perfectly into the hollows of the cheeks, and blends well. That is why this brush is listed in my top 5 contour brushes. Tell me what you top brushes are. Here is the video on my, "Top 5 contouring brush"--here you will see a review and demo on each brush. Hope you enjoy it!!
