This is the last installment in the four part "dupe" list series. Today, I am going to be covering makeup brushes.
First, a few tips about makeup brushes in general. Using the proper brushes can actually make applying makeup much easier and faster - you'll have greater control
of cosmetics with a brush and the look will be far more natural and long-lasting. When it comes to choosing a brush, price doesn't necessarily matter - you can get decent natural bristle brushes and synthetic brushes at the drug store or the department store. There's one sure-fire test to finding a good, durable makeup brush: take the brush and rub it against your skin. The bristles should feel soft against your skin, not rough or scratchy. To test the strength of the bristles, run the brush against your hand and see if any fibers fall out. If they do, don't buy the brush...if the brush stays intact and feels soft to the touch, go ahead and buy it. And finally, when you do get your brushes, make sure to keep them clean - there are loads of products on the markets designed specifically for makeup brush cleaning - or, to save some cash, wash your brushes with a mild shampoo (baby shampoo works beautifully) to keep them clean and oil-free.
