I in no way consider myself a makeup expert. I am someone who loves makeup and trying new products. However, I will say over the years I have discovered some of the best makeup tools and what works best for me. So today I am sharing those!
Best Makeup Tools
First I am going to start with Artis Brushes. These are VERY pricey. You can find some dupes that are still really good, but I personally prefer the real deal. These were a huge splurge last summer but I will say that they are worth it. If you only get one, get the foundation brush. It makes a WORLD of difference in applying foundation. It goes on a lot more even and less cakey no matter what foundation it is.
Cotton swabs are probably something you already have in your bathroom but these inexpensive little lovelies are AMAZING for erasing eyeliner mistakes, cleaning up around the eyes and lips, and generally fixing anything that’s wrong.
I am fairly certain beautyblenders are one of the best things since sliced bread. At least in the beauty world. If you don’t want to spend a ton on the original beautyblender then these dupes from Target are amazing. I only ever buy the original ones if I can find a good sale!
My favorite makeup brushes are from It Cosmetics. I think these brushes are great quality and a great price. I have purchased super expensive brushes as well as cheapy brushes, and while you get what you pay for, these are a great option. The holidays are a great time to splurge on new brushes because Ulta and Sephora both usually have good deals on sets!
Lastly, you need a great pair of tweezers. My favorite favorite favorite kind are from Tweezerman. I have about 3 of them and I keep one in my bathroom, one in my purse, and one to travel with. So worth it!
What are your best makeup tools? What are the ones you gravitate towards? Share below!
I love my BeautyBlender and Tweezerman tweezers, too! Great post 🙂

All about the beauty blenders. I have a drawer full!
I’ve been wanting to try the beauty blenders. Going to try the dupe first!
Thanks for sharing! I love IT Cosmetics, so I definitely need to check out their brushes when the time comes! Love those blender sponges, too!
I have never tried a beauty blender, but I guess I have to! Every lady seems to love them!
I really need a good tweezer. My daughter keeps taking mine so I will let her have the old one and try this one.
Good tools, but I would like to see Eco here, as well as Beautyblender sponges. Also think a lip brush is essential for a perfect pout.
Did you see Harry Potter makeup brushes now exist?!
Thanks for sharing these! I have never used an artist brush before. They look a little intimidating. Does it matter what consistency your foundation is?
I’m obsessed with IT Cosmedics brushes. They’re seriously the best!

It is time for me to go through the drawer and replenish my selection. I will be looking at some of theses suggestions, including the tweezers. I can’t find mine! ?
I’m going to have to look into those beauty blenders. I do think cotton swabs and simple cotton balls are nice to have around.
I have no knowledge about these tools but they look so great and I’m going to share this post with my friends.
I’ve really been wanting to try those brushes but can’t pull the trigger. Glad to know they are worth it when I get the courage to purchase!
My beauty blender is a must have! I keep several!
I’m obsessed with my Tweezerman tweezers. They are literally the only pair I’ve owned that work!
I LOVE my beauty blender! I can’t imagine not having it!
The Artis brushes really can’t compare to the dupes! They’re so pricey but so worth it – I love them! I use Tweezerman too, and I’d never consider any others!
Beauty Blenders are legit my life. They’re amazing at blending my foundation into my skin.

I just don’t do makeup, but as years go by I realize that I am intimidated by my lack of knowledge about it. Your post has simplified it enough for me to want to venture out of my comfort zone.
I love makeup and I love those oval brushes!! Thanks for sharing girl!
These are all great tools! I love the beauty blenders. Tweezers and cotton swabs are must haves as well.
I LOVE IT cosmetics brushes. The bristles never seem to fall out and they are just so soft. They feel fantastic on my skin.
Those little beauty blenders are awesome! I’ve never tried them- I’m so makeup clueless ha! Looking forward to trying these out!
These are great recommendations! I need to up my makeup game and this is so helpful for someone who is pretty clueless!
A touch of lipstick and eye pencil, make up the bulk of what I reach for when I think of make up. Sure, I have my share of all the accoutrements but I hardly use them… I love the foundation brush you mentioned… 🙂
Love these! Love things that look pretty and have an interesting design. Will try them out!
