Makeup brushes are arguably the most important tools in your beauty arsenal. They can be a serious investment, but for my budget-concious cuties, I’ve rounded up the best affordable makeup brushes. These brush sets check all the boxes when it comes to being useful, comprehensive, soft and effective.
All of the makeup brushes featured here are synthetic fibers, making them not only cruelty free, but infinitely more versatile considering they can be used with liquids, creams and powders.
Whether you’re doing a total overhaul or just adding to your makeup brush collection, these are the sets worth far more than their price tag. Whichever brushes you choose, please promise me you’ll just wash them semi-regularly ok?
A client brought this set to a makeup lesson with me and I was completely blown away with how comprehensive it was. When I looked up the price? Girl, I added to cart so fast. I’ve actually purchased several of these sets for my freelance kit and my own personal use. Whatever brush shape you need, it’s here.
I loved the Jessup 14 Piece set so I had to see what their double ended offerings were like. No surprise; I like these just as well and remained shocked at the price.
Though it’s been around for a while, this set has truly stood the test of time. It contains one of my favorite brushes of all time, the Setting Brush, perfect for a diffused concealer application.
Royal & Langnickel is most known for their fine art brushes, so it’s no surprise that their makeup brushes are high quality and high performance. I love the bumpy handles on these as I find it helps me to maintain my grip.
This is a fully comprehensive face and eye makeup brush set, with a bonus makeup bag. I especially love the shape of the 02 Concealer brush.
If you can only use 2 brushes to do your eye makeup, these cover it all. I love how thin the angled liner brush head is.
