makeup brushes

How to Use each brush (from left to right)

Angle brush- i use this to apply eyebrow powder and eyeliner/ lash line. Its perfect for retracing and outlining

Combined Mascara wand and eyeliner brush- used for applying mascara. And i also use it for defining eyebrows ;)
eyeliner brush- i use for applying eyeliner to the inner corners of the eyes. And if there's a tiny blemish, i use it as a mini concealer brush..

Eyeshadow blending brush- used for applying eyeshadows. You can have a few sizes of these depending on the size of area your gonna use it with.

Concealing brush- used for concealing. And can also be used for eyeshadow applications

Foundation brush- makes foundation flawless

Contouring brush- used for contouring. May also be used for applying blush

Powder brush- for setting powder. gone are the days when we use sponges. It applies evenly and saves a lot of time

Stippling brush- i use this brush to even out my applications and smoothen the lines and contours

Fan brush- great for highlighting your cheekbones and other parts. I also use it to remove fallouts/ fallen angels after applying eyeshadows.

There! I hope I was able to help you out.. Feel free to leave 
your questions and messages.. ;)
oh! and these are my favorite brushes!!!

My makeup starter kit


I  started with these few basic items, Yes.. If you're really into makeup you have got to have brushes, even for personal use. Later I'll post the basic types of brush.

Here I have liquid foundations, i chose that of Mac and Faceshop. Its not because they're branded or because they're expensive but im used to using them. They're easy to blend and doesn't give u that cakey look. Good for studio lights and you can never go wrong with Mac, a lot of tones and yes, great for Asian skin.

For setting, Am using Mac and that of Fanny Serrano. Based on my experience these 2 brands last. you can use it for setting , highlighting and contouring.

Different shades for blush is a must. And don't try to buy uber expensive brands, yes i know they're good and u can show them off.. lol! You can stick to your budget. There are good finds out there, go to the malls and try everything. Find products that works for you. Because no matter how expensive an item and how well it looks on the others, if it doesn't suit you and your skin type darling you will just be wasting your money. ok? ;)

With lipstick, i just keep on collecting, hehe. you'll never know when you might need a certain shade, right?
Mascara! ofcourse we all love playing with our eyes. hmmmm the rest you can see in the pictures lol..
