Foundation brush? Blending brush? Angled liner brush? So many types, so much confusion.<\/p>

While your fingers may be the best natural<\/a> tools bestowed upon you by nature, sometimes a little help from makeup brushes can make a big difference. And the combination of using makeup brushes and your fingers - perfection!<\/p>

Using the right makeup brushes will not only help you to achieve a\u00a0flawless<\/a> look but it will also help to prolong the use of your makeup products - you end up using lesser product.\u00a0When it comes to choosing makeup brushes though, there are so many types available that one can't help but feel overwhelmed. Just how many brushes do you need?<\/p>

Well, the number to note is 7 makeup brushes to kick start your collection. This would form the basic set of brushes you could use to achieve looks ranging from simple to elegant.<\/p>

One important factor to consider when investing in different makeup brushes is to consider the material the brushes are made of -\u00a0ranging from natural (using sable fibers) to synthetic (fake acrylic hair). The type of finish is an important factor to consider as it will determine which products it can best be used with. Products with a drier formula such as eye shadows, highlighters and even blushes<\/a> should be used with a natural fiber brush. On the other hand, products with a more liquid-like consistency such as concealers, foundations or even cream products are best used with synthetic brushes as these brushes soak up lesser product reducing the amount of wastage.<\/p>

Now enough talk and head over to the gallery up top for the\u00a0low down on the 5 types of\u00a0brushes to include in your customizable brush kit.<\/p>
