The Big Brush-Up
What woman hasn’t experienced a little high after buying a new lipstick or makeup palette? It’s a rather 
inexpensive luxury that still allows you to feed, clothe the kids and make mortgage payments.
While makeup can be an essential beauty pick-me-up, its silent helpers often go unnoticed: the lowly brushes. These little guys work overtime to ensure flawless, makeup applications – if you are using a high-quality brush. That means, no shedding (terribly annoying and embarrassing), maintaining its shape wash after wash (you’re washing your brushes regularly, right?!) and it is soft and luxurious.
I found such a brush at Sephora the other day. Made by Cover FX, this powder brush retails for $49.00. Is that steep? Yes. Do you get what you pay for? Yes. If you’re on a tight budget and have to choose between high quality makeup or brushes, many makeup artists will advise the latter option. A great brush will likely outlast your latest makeup fad.
This brush is made of 100 % unbleached goat hair), does not leave stray hairs on your face and is guaranteed to last a long time. It also remains sturdy and balanced thanks to the ramin wood handle. A lot of work has gone into this brush and in my opinion, that makes it worth the money.
If you’re in the market for a great loose/pressed powder brush, give this one a try and let me know what you think. I’ll highlight more of my favourite makeup brushes in future posts.
