Hi everyone!
Hope you've all had a lovely week, I'm back to reality tomorrow (Monday) as I'm going back to college. Its been a busy 2 weeks of working at my new job but its been nice to earn a bit more money in all honesty (to spend it on myself...duh.)
Anyways, I have been thinking about this post for a while - and before anyone starts, no I am no where near a professional in make up and I'm not filled with lots of knowledge and that I know everything about make up. But, I would've loved to of had this little bit of knowledge even when I started out with makeup, so heres a guide to those who enjoy wearing make up or would like to know a little bit more about it. :)

Face brushes:
Definitely, brushes for makeup is a total must! When starting out with makeup, I think everyone should own at least 2 brushes: a flat foundation brush and a powder brush. I would be so lost now without these two and I think they are vital! I started using brushes about a year ago and I started out with the Eco Tools mini face brush set. Personally, this was a great starting point of brushes and they would be great for those starting out too. I didn't use all the brushes for the required purpose (for example: the small powder brush to matte your concealed areas, I used that as a blending brush for my eyeshadow - double purpose really!) A mini brush set like this is a great starting point for anyone - but the Eco Tools one were especially good for the price, the brissles are extremely soft and they're so easy to use!

Eye brushes:
Again, another vital piece of equipment for everyone in my opinion - a blending brush and a eyeshadow fluffy brush. This will enable there to be a full coverage look when doing eyeshadow looks. Like I said, I used a concealer brush from the Eco Tools set to blend my eyeshadows, but I would recommend getting the Real Techniques eye brush set. You get these two brushes as well as liner and eyebrow brushes too, they're great quality brushes for an affordable price!

Beauty blender:
Even if its a dupe or the real thing - these pieces of sponge are a LIFESAVER. Struggle with foundation lines? With this they will be a forgotten memory for sure! I got one for my birthday last year and it has been the best thing I've ever gotten. You simply dampen the sponge and apply your foundation! The best thing is that it can be used with powder or liquid foundation and I promise you will be given flawless results!!!
