Train potty

My makeup vanity got another upgrade recently - a new vanity chair from Natey for my birthday present!  So happy!  It looks so good with the new vanity lights and I love how it ties in with our tufted bed.  Much prettier and comfier!


Having a good setup makes getting ready in the morning that much more fun, and one of my biggest obsessions with getting ready (there are many, I know) is makeup brushes!  I'm always on the hunt for great new brushes as much as I am with products.  Whenever I see my SIL, I make her play makeup with me and see if she has any new favorite items, and usually we zero in around brushes.


I would say the only thing I don't use a brush for is my Nyx Eye Primer.  I have used brushes, but have found fingers work better with that product.

But on to some of my current favorites!

Foundation - Real Techniques Stippling Brush
I love how soft (and inexpensive!) this brush is on my face.  I still have been loyally using my Revlon foundation (thanks Amber!) and this brush works so well with it.  I lost one recently, and I love how cheap they are to just run out to Ulta and buy a new one!

I swear I clean this brush weekly - it just gets instantly brown from using foundation daily!

Powder - Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki
I have been using this brush for years after being introduced to Sigma by a friend who works there.  They advertise this brush to use with liquids or creams, but I use for my pressed powders!  I usually use my Revlon powder but sometimes use Laura Geller or MAC.  Works great with all!

Bronzer - Bobbi Brown Bronzer Brush
This brush is pricey, but damn it's good.  I have had it for years and it is such high quality - it doesn't shed, doesn't break, is just a great brush.

Blush - Bobbi Brown Blush Brush, Sigma F40 Large Angled Contour
I switch around with my blush brushes.  Sometimes I want to use the Bobbi Brown brush for a good blushing, and sometimes I want to be a little more precise so I use the Sigma brush.  Both are awesome and good to have in your collection!

Shadows - Sigma E50 Large Fluff, Jane Iredale Crease Brush
The Sigma large fluff is my absolute favorite blush for a quick all over of the eyelid in a neutral color.  Ain't no one got time to use a small brush for that!  The Jane Iredale brush I have had for about 8 years!  It just works so perfectly in the crease.  Mine does not look like the one they sell now, but I'm guessing that is just the new and improved version.

Eyeliner - Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush
Since I use the Bobbi Brown eyeliner, this brush works well because it was made for that!  It isn't super pricey, but also isn't cheap so when I lost this brush it hurt a little to go buy another.  Ugh.  So worth it though!

There are lots of other makeup brushes that I use and really like, but these are the ones I love!
Any makeup brushes that I shouldn't be living without?
