The thing with brushes is that, in general, I use them interchangeably. Although they are marketed for a specific use, I would use a brush as I deem fit especially if it enables me to achieve the “look” I am going for.
My “Favorite Brush…” series is broken down in three parts. I didn’t want to make it over whelming and I also wanted to show you guys how it “works” when I am applying a specific makeup product.
A majority of the brushes I am using might be no longer in the market – I do apologize for that. I had purchased multiples and have been gifted with some of these brushes that I did not find the need to get new ones. Plus if you take care of them, they will last a long time.

The products I am using has worked for me and it might not necessarily work for you. Always be discerning when purchasing cosmetics or skin care products. Always read the label and the literature! Always do a patch test before you purchase a product for the first time to see that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients listed.
