Basic must have brushes for a beginner/ On a budget
There are so many make up brushes on the market these days. They come in all different colours,shapes and sizes. This can be quite overwhelming if you are just getting into make up.So here is my basic, easy and definitely must have set of brushes that anyone will be able to use.
The set comes with 10 brushes, 5 face brushes and 5 eye shadow brushes. Why do I think this is the perfect set for a beginner? Well simple, Its not confusing, the brushes are soft, they're synthetic (perfect if you're a vegan or against using animal products), they dont shed and most importantly theyre cheap.

My Tips on how to use the brushes
The face brushes (From left to right)
First brush
I use this brush for contouring, The slunted top makes it perfect for powder contouring in the hollows of your cheeks. I love this brush and I cant live without it.
Second brush
I use this brush for my under eye highlighter or setting powder. Its perfect to dust away the excess powder, works like a charm.
​
Third and fourth brush
​
While I prefer using a beauty blender to blend my foundation, these two brushes would be ideal for blending in liquid foundation, because the 3rd one is a flat top brush, you can pack on your foundation without problems and fast too. Fourth one could double up for either liquid or powder, up to you. Your brushes, your choice.
Fifth brush
I have not used the last brush brush but it would be perfect to use as a concealer brush. Because it is tapered, you can use it under your eyes for that extra precision.

The eyeshadow brushes
I use the first 4 brushes to blend my eye shadows. The last brush, I can honestly say i have not found a use for, but hey out of 10 brushes, only one I find useless. its a win win regardless.
​
If you are just starting in make up or just undecided on what brushes to get, I would 100% recommend this set of brushes as it can be used for your whole face and its cheap. After all we are trying to look good on a budget. why spend hundreds of dollars on brushes when cheap ones do the exact same job.
