When applying makeup, using your fingers may seem like the easier, cost-efficient route, but germs and bacteria can spread onto skin and you might not get the most even or well-blended coverage. Makeup brushes are a great way to ensure that makeup is perfectly blended while avoiding bacteria (that can result from directly touching your face). Not to mention, brushes help apply makeup faster and more effectively.
Just don’t forget to clean your brushes on a regular basis—you can either use a mild shampoo or dish soap. Once the bristles wear out and don’t work as effectively, it’s time to replace the brush.
Whether your beauty routine is simple and to the point or involves numerous steps, we’ve got makeup brushes for every look—and they’re vegan, too.

BEST COMPLEXION BRUSH

Brushes are a great way to apply foundation and concealer to get the coverage you want, whether it’s sheer, medium or full. Use a blending brush like fmg Complexion Blending Brush, which features a dense, large rounding buffing brush to help blend your foundation. Simply swipe liquid or powder foundation on your face and buff or stipple to blend. This versatile, double-sided brush also doubles as a concealer brush. Using the small side of the brush, tap your concealer on the desired coverage area.

A 2-IN-1 BLUSH BRUSH & CONTOUR BRUSH

Achieving the perfect flush is all in the brush. You want to make sure your blush is perfectly blended and noticeable, but not cakey or clown-like. Using the oval side of the fmg Blush & Contour Brush, apply blush slightly above the cheekbones. You can also use the tip of this brush to apply highlighter to the high points of the face.

EYE MAKEUP BRUSHES

A versatile brush like fmg Precision Eye Brush is great for perfectingthose eyeliner looks. Use the small angled brush end to apply eyeliner that comes in a pod, like a gel eyeliner or liquid eyeliner. You can also use a brush to transform your favorite eyeshadow into an eyeliner. Simply dip, line and draw a wing. The pencil brush end can be used to highlight the inner corners of the eye and under the brow bone, plus it’s great for smudging.

Building an eyeshadow look can be tricky—you want to make sure your application looks even and if you’re layering shades, they appear perfectly blended. The fmg Eyeshadow Blending Brush is here to make this task easier. It features a domed crease brush on one end and a flattened, all-over eyeshadow brush on the other.

Use the domed brush end with a palette like fmg Cashmere Eyeshadow Palette, applying eyeshadow into the crease of the eye or to buff and blend eyeshadow in circular motions. For more eye-enhancing shadows, discover our full eyeshadow collection.
