Makeup brushes for a flawless finish

The right brush can transform how your makeup looks. Quality brushes pick up and distribute product evenly, blend seamlessly and help you use less product for a more natural, professional finish. Whether you're building your first kit or adding specialist brushes for contouring and eye blending, this collection has face, eye, lip and complete brush sets from professional and luxury brands.

Essential brushes and what they do

• Foundation brush: flat or dense buffing brushes for liquid and cream foundation.
• Powder brush: large and fluffy for setting powder and bronzer.
• Blush and contour brushes: angled or rounded for precise placement on the cheeks.
• Concealer brush: small and precise for spots and under the eyes.
• Eyeshadow and blending brushes: flat brushes to pack on colour, fluffy ones to blend it out.
• Liner, brow and lip brushes: for detailed, defined work.

How to clean your brushes

1. Wet the bristles with lukewarm water, keeping the handle and ferrule dry.
2. Gently lather with a brush cleanser or mild shampoo.
3. Rinse until the water runs clear.
4. Reshape and dry flat or with bristles facing down.

Clean foundation and concealer brushes weekly and others every couple of weeks to keep them soft and hygienic.
