Getting overwhelmed with all the brushes available in the market? Beauty Insider recommends paring them down to 3-5. One for eyeshadow, one for the base and the other for makeup powders such as blushers, highlight or bronzers.

2. Have a Good Base Applicator

This flat tip brush is the perfect stippling and dabbing tool. Warm up primer in your hands mixed with SPF and stipple the brush into the formula before applying it directly onto your face. The brush is perfect for blending sticky formulas onto your face without absorbing too much product like a sponge. Perfect, then, for applying foundation onto the face, the brush is already lubricated so blending your concealer and foundation to provide flawless canvas is easy.

3. Blend, Blend and Blend!
