(#3) Kabuki Brush
A wide, flat Kabuki brush is ideal for blending powder formulas. Use it to apply bronzer in a "3" shape - from the center of your forehead to the hollows of your cheeks, and under the jawline. Or, grab your Kabuki brush to blend out and tone down heavy-handed setting powder or blush. E.l.f.'s Kabuki Brush is less than $5, making it a no-brainer.

(#2) BeautyBlender
If you aren't using a BeautyBlender, you aren't living. The egg-shaped makeup sponge is perfect for applying cream formulas, like foundation and concealer. To use, wet your BeautyBlender until it expands, then squeeze out the excess water. Next, add drops of foundation or concealer to the desired areas of your face, and take the BeautyBlender in a dabbing motion to spread and blend your foundation and concealer. Use the angled point for your under eye area, and the rounded side for cheeks and forehead.

(#12) Contour Brush
While you could use your angled blush brush to apply contour powder, you'll get a more blended and sculpted look with a contour brush, like Real Techniques Sculpting Brush. The bristles are slightly firmer than a typical blush brush with a more angled tip, ideal for sculpting yourself a pair of Kardashian-esque cheeks.

(#6) Angled Blush Brush
If you prefer a pressed or loose powder blush, then you definitely need an angled blush brush in your collection. The angled bristles pick up powder and deposit them precisely - but softly - on the apples of the cheeks for a natural-looking flush. Sephora's Angled Blush Brush is a great option.
-
(#7) Concealer Brush
The rounded edge of a concealer brush is key for blending product into the corners of your eyes and into the lash line. After applying a few dabs of concealer under your eyes, use this brush in a patting motion to blend concealer over your under eye circles or blemishes. Marc Jacobs's The Conceal Brush will be your new go-to!

(#11) Angled Eyeliner Brush
When dealing with cream or gel eye liners, you can't simply use any brush. You need an angled eyeliner brush to sit flush with your lash line. Just dip the angled edge into the liner and run it along your lash line, starting at the inside corner and dragging it through the outer edge. Kooba's Angled Eyeliner Brush is the best.
