All brushes are not created equal. In fact, they are usually designed with very specific uses in mind, and it’s important to use brushes for their intended use. If you’re new to the makeup world and you’re not quite sure where to start, makeup artist Tamekia Geer of TamGee Artistry Studio recommends beginning with a foundation brush, powder brush, and a blush brush.

And third of all, the right type of makeup brush can literally revolutionize your freakin’ makeup game. YUP. I’m not kidding. Angled, or flat brushes are perfect for those of you who apply eyebrow pomades, or tend to use eyeshadow as eyeliner. Flat and angled eye makeup brushes allow you to get the product right into the lash line, or to draw on precise brow-like hairs.
