It is a fact that you can just use your fingers to get your make up on. But the best way to do this is by having a few basic tools and brushes. This article will fill you in on the ten basic ones that you should have.

The powder brush that you have should be round, big, and soft. When using it, make sure to tap off the extra powder to keep your look sheer and natural.

Blusher brushes are better if they are bigger and rounder. The ones that often come with the blush are smaller and make for a harsher application. The blusher brush is also usable for bronzing.

You should have an eyeshadow brush that has a round tip. There are plenty of sizes to choose from when it comes to this. You can try one first at the make up counter and see which size you like. If you are shopping online for make up tools, you might want to stick with medium sizes.

Aside from the round eyeshadow brush, you also need one that is soft and has a flat tip. This can be used for applying shadow and lining the lashes and eyebrows.

You also have to have a sponge-tip applicator. These can even be bought from the drugstores. They are better in some cases than the make up brushes are, especially if you are going for the intense look.

Concealer make up brushes should have small tips to make for a more precise application. They are better than using your fingers. But there is no need for this if your skin is perfect.

Lip brushers are good for palettes and tubes but you can also use them for the ordinary lipstick like Revlon Colorstay lipcolor or Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick.

Tweezers should always be part of your make up bag. Get one that is gentle on your skin and lets you pluck the hairs out easier.

The eyelash curler that you get should be of good quality. The rubber inserts would often have to be changed though.

Finally, include some cotton tips in your make up bag if you want to be ready for mistakes.

It is a good idea to spend money on good make up brushes because these are investments. You can use them for many years.
