“The brush is an extension of the hand and is a fundamental tool for a makeup artist whether he/ she is a professional or amateur makeup artist, his canvas is the face.”
– Dany Sanz Make Up Forever creator
When I first started using brushes to apply my makeup I had no idea what I was doing or the importance of having a decent set of brushes, my first brush ever was from MAC cosmetics. FYI – a decent set of brushes do not need to be fancy or expensive, these days drugstore brands make really good ones. The average user needs five at most [blusher, eyeshadow blender, foundation and an angled for eyeliner/ brows]. A makeup artist depending on the level, craft, field needs a lot more variety of brushes especially if you are working regularly and with different mediums (TV, bridal, stage, editorial, film, HD cameras). I must also point out, cleaning your brushes is essential! If you do this regularly, your brushes and application will always remain good. In my case, I have brushes more than 10 years old and I clean them religiously.
This post is just a recommendation for Bdellium Tools brushes which had been on my radar for a while. Unfortunately, Bdellium Tools was not for sale in Singapore and shipping costs made it twice the cost. This year while at the Makeup Show NYC, I spent time looking and testing as well as being fortunate enough to receive a complimentary brush in my goodie bag.
I ended up buying several eye blending and shading brushes from the Pink and Yellow bambu series, my pro-discount at the show was very generous. For retail I also think Bdellium are totally affordable much more accessible than MAC or Sephora brand. The Pink and Yellow series are eco-friendly and vegan soft synthetic bristles, they are amazing and so far, I am very happy with my purchase. For a while I’d been looking for an alternative to my MAC 217 blending brush and the Real Techniques shading brushes. If you are looking to buy/ try these lovely makeup brushes, here is a list of where they are available.
