MAKE UP LIKE A PRO WITH THESE BRILLIANT BRUSHES
We're a huge fan of this {Fan Brush} - with soft goat hair bristles, it's perfect for getting your strobe on. Use to dust highlighting powder in a 'c' shape from your cheekbones to your temples, and then straight down the bridge of your nose to streamline. It's also ideal for correcting boo-boos - cleaning up powder 'fall out' without risk of smudges.
The {Gunmetal Pointed Buffer Brush (G2)} does everything - diffusing foundation, blush, bronzer, concealer and contour to create a flawless, photo-ready finish. With domed, synthetic bristles, it eliminates edges for believable, #iwokeuplikethis enhancement.
If you're a sculpting acficionado, or just eager to embrace the contouring craze, no kit is complete without {Gunmetal Flat Contour Brush (G30)}. With a strip of flat-topped fibres, this hugs the hollows of your face for effortless application of contouring cream - just stroke shadow-toned colour beneath your cheekbones, then blend, blend and blend to accentuate your favourite features. Works perfectly with Anastasia's bestselling {Contour Cream Kit} (for more contouring guidance click {here}).
Every girl needs a phat powder brush, and Morphe's {Large Dome Powder Brush (G0)} feels like a fluffy rabbit's tail (but is totally cruelty-free - fret not). Ideal for setting your base, it's also perfect for applying mineral foundation or all-over bronzing powders - 'melting' product into skin to leave it looking faultless; a bit like a 'real-life' Instagram filter.
And for contouring powders or mineral blush, the sable-bristled {Contour Fluff Brush (M556)} nestles neatly beneath cheekbones. Use this to apply and blend your ABH {Pro Series Contour Kit} - it's perfectly tapered for seamless sculpting.
For eyes, these three brushes will seriously up your smoky-eye game. The {Pro Firm Blending Crease Brush (M441)} has tapered, goat hair bristles for applying deeper shadow to your eyelid crease; the {Tapered Mini Blender Brush (M441)} is then perfect for precise application of colour - small enough to access inner corners, or to apply a fine line of shadow just along the lower lashline or to outer corners for a 'winged' effect.
The super-soft {Gunmetal Round Eye Shadow Blender Brush (G17)} then blurs your shades together beautifully - softening lines to achieve a stunning, smouldering effect.
