The best makeup brushes depend on the look you’re creating. Some MAC must-haves:
Best for foundation: 170 Synthetic Rounded Slant Brush – Buffs liquid foundation to a seamless finish.
Best for powder: 150S Large Powder Brush – Applies setting powders evenly without excess buildup.
Best for eyeshadow blending: 217S Blending Brush – Effortlessly diffuses shadow for a soft, gradient effect.

Use different brushes in a variety of ways:

Concealer: Use a small, tapered brush to pat and blend product into targeted areas.
Powder: Sweep powder lightly across the face with a fluffy brush to set makeup.
Blush & Contour: Use an angled brush to sculpt cheeks, applying blush to the apples and contour along the cheekbones.
Eyeshadow: Blend shadows using a windshield-wiper motion for a seamless gradient.
Brows & Lips: Use precision brushes to define, shape, and fill in for clean, polished results.
The right brushes make all the difference—invest in quality tools for a professional finish.
