I'm often asked to recommend make-up brushes to Client's. Here is a list of my favourites which have stood the test of time. They are not cheap but investing in good brushes will dramatically improve your make-up application, some even do a lot of the hard work for you.
Take care of them by washing regularly (twice a week) in mild shampoo and leave to dry overnight, overhanging a table (so no bristles are in contact with the surface). Be careful not to let the water get into the handle of the brush as this can damage the glue.
Eyeshadow - MAC 239
Brilliant for packing on colour to lids. No splaying.
Socket brush - Laura Mercier crease brush
Fantastic shape for working colour into the crease.
Blending brush - MAC 217
Can either be used as a socket brush or just to blend socket colour.
Blush - Illamasqua brush 1
Perfect dense bristles for the apples of the cheeks
Concealer - MAC 195
Great flat shape for all those imperfections
Powder - Shu Uemura
Holds it's shape really well
Eyeliner - MAC 266
Fab for gel liner application or to use shadow as a liner
Smoky liner - Laura Mercier smoky eye liner
Brilliant at blending out pencil liner for a smoky effect
Brow - Shu Uemura
Super stiff bristles make brows a doddle
Lips - Shu Uemura Kolinsky
Absolutely the best lipbrush I've ever used
