Dec 14, 2024
The best makeup brush sets take the guesswork out of building out your arsenal of tools. Rather than shopping for individual brushes and painstakingly deciding between the plethora of options, a set is already curated for you. While blending with your fingers or relying on a years-old sponge to do the job, experts emphasize that, the perfect tools will yield the best possible application.

Before you stock up on a fully tricked out set, remember that less is more when searching for your ideal makeup brush set—especially if you’re a novice. Rachel Zoe’s makeup artist, Glenn Brownell, echoes this approach: “Look for makeup brushes that you can use to both apply and blend your makeup. You only need a few brushes for your face,” he tells Vogue. He emphasizes quality and versatility rather than quantity for everyday makeup routines.
Brownell suggests finding a few multitasking brushes that can do the work of many—making application simple and seamless. A soft complexion brush, an angled concealer brush, and a fluffy eyeshadow brush are your all-stars for everyday. For more pro-level looks, celebrity makeup artists rely on an assortment of brushes in a varying sizes for eyes, lips, and face—including angled shading brushes for bold eyeshadow looks, ultra-fine lip brushes to perfect lipstick application, and precision eyeliner brushes for a cat-eye with sharp claws. Phew!
