Make-Up Brushes – Which is Which?

Hello! I bought this bamboo brush set from Groupon a while ago, but I’m not quite sure what each one should be used for.

I tried contacting the company who makes them, but they never got back to me, so I was wondering if you wonderful beauty lovers might be able to help me!

“Set includes:
2 x powder brushes
4 x round eyeshadow brushes
1 x angled brush
1 x lip brush
1 x foundation brush
1 x concealer brush”

If these were labelled 1-10, from left to right, #6 is quite firm, and the rest feel the way you’d expect (in my opinion).

What would you use each of these for?

Thank you in advance!! <3

      Thanks Jillian 🙂 It can still be tricky to match my brushes to similar ones online, but I`ll get the hang of it eventually!

    from left-right, i would personally use
    1- any kind of powder that you want to use lightly
    2- setting my face with powder foundation
    3- highlighting or contouring
    4- filling in my brows with powder or pomade
    5-concealer brush
    6- a pencil brush for highlighting inner corner of my eyes or adding depth to my outer v for an eye look or to add colour to my bottom lash line
    7- angled eyeshadow brush for adding colour to my crease and blending
    8- my favourite kind of blending brush, blending eyeshadow into my crease and just blending everywhere haha
    9- powder brush for setting your face with translucent powder or also powder foundationand brushing away an under eye bake if you do, adding bronzer or blush.
    10 – i use this style to apply foundation all over my face before blending it in with a round foundation buffer brush or a beauty blender.

    i hope this helps ashlee 🙂
