It's a common misbelief that the most expensive makeup brush is guaranteed to be the best one for you. But is it worth buying expensive makeup brushes? With a focus on sustainability and cruelty-free beauty products, it's no longer the case that the more expensive, animal hair products are the better brushes, with many synthetic brushes now being of a similar quality and able to achieve the same flawless finish.
What makes a good makeup brush?
A good makeup brush is the one that applies makeup smoothly and evenly and doesn't irritate the skin. A well made brush will therefore have soft and smooth bristles that are densely packed and maintain their structure. A well structured handle is also indicative of a well made brush, allowing you to hold it comfortably for precise application.
Still not sure where to start? We have put together a list of the best affordable makeup brushes and makeup brush sets on LOOKFANTASTIC to help you choose the brush that will give you the most natural finish.
