*great for my gel foundation
*soft


ELF foundation brush

Jenny face brush

*great for gel foundations 









so since I do not usually put eye make up on, I wont be giving a one by one review of each,
but all of these work for me and they are all quite worth it.




Ney's tips:

1. Wash your brushes weekly, most specially the powder and blush brushes
-baby shampoo alone works, but some uses conditioner with it.

2. Clean concealer, lip, and other brushes that you use with cream based make ups with bath soap,
Bath soap removes the cream from the brush faster and easily than shampoo.

3. Synthetic brushes are better than animal hair. (based on my experience)

4. When applying liquid/cream make ups with a brush or sponge, make your tool wet!
this makes the tool absorb less of the product.

5. Avoid brushes that are scratchy, aside from the obvious that it hurts, it might break open your pores.

6. Rubbing alcohol is my SOS when I have not clean my brush.

7. Look for cheap brushes, there are a lot of brush that works that are below P300. 
Trust me in this! ;)
