🧠 Beginner Tips for Brushes ✨ You don’t need every brush at first — start with these essentials. ✨ Clean your brushes regularly (once a week if you use them daily!). ✨ Use gentle strokes — pressure can make blends look harsh. _______________________ 💋 Must-Have Beginner Brushes 1️⃣ Blending Brush (for eyes) Soft and fluffy — great for blending eyeshadow smoothly into the crease. 2️⃣ Flat Shader Brush (for eyes) Packs shadow onto the lid — perfect for simple eye looks. 3️⃣ Foundation Brush or Sponge A flat, dense brush or beauty sponge makes applying base products much easier. 4️⃣ Blush Brush Medium, slightly rounded — great for blush, bronzer, or even setting powder. 5️⃣ Fluffy Powder Brush Big and soft — perfect for setting powder or light bronzing.
