Why splurge on makeup brushes? Because using great brushes not only makes applying makeup so much easier, they also give you a flawless, blended look you just can't get with fingertips and a sponge!
Natural or synthetic brushes? Any good makeup artists sticks with natural bristle brushes commonly made of goat, pony, squirrel or sable hair. Natural bristles have cuticles and allow the brushes to pick up and distribute more of the product on the face. Although synthetic brushes are cheaper, natural brushes last much, much longer and can easily be cleaned with a bit of shampoo and warm water.
