As a makeup artist I can tell you how important makeup brushes are, and how difficult in can be to pick the right ones. Some makeup brushes can be very expensive or inexpensive but I will tell you this the price tag does not always reflect the quality of the brush you are buying. Mainly there are two kinds of brushes the natural hair or the synthetic and while there is good and bad in the two kinds I wanted to share with you what they are good for that way you can decide which kind to invest in..
Natural Vs. Synthetic
Natural:
Natural hair has follicle that cling to powder pigments, allowing them to be evenly applied
Lasts a lifetime if taken care of properly
Synthetic:
Synthetic are best to use with cream and liquid formulas
Synthetic can cost significantly less money
I wanted to keep the list very short and not go over the cons as this really is a very personal opinion. There are so many great choices when it comes to makeup brushes and you really don't know which ones work the best for you until you try them. My Favorite Brushes Are: Mac 217 Mac 239 Mac 130 Mac 132 Morphe M426 Sedona Lace Eb-19 Sedona Lace 863
Most of them are synthetic but are made of great quality.
I have been wanting to do a review for this AMAZING contouring palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills since I purchased it but like everything I want to make sure i am giving you my honest review. This palette is really perfection this hast to be one of the best products I have tried for contouring. The colors blend beautiful, the consistency, the pigmentation the under tones and the price are really all reasons why this is such a perfect palette. The palette is interchangeable as ABH plans to create more shades or you can repurchase them as you run out of them. I created a tutorial on youtube where I show two different ways this palette can be used for heavy contour or light everyday.

I did my top 10 eyeshadows over a year ago and thought it was time to update my list. I am really into golds and browns right now, but love to trow in some colors from time to time when feeling bored. If you are starting to build your kit either for personal use or professional use I really suggest getting some of these colors as I find them universally flattering for all skin types. What colors are you loving right now?
