Makeup brush sets
A brush set is the fastest way to build a complete collection of make-up brushes in one go. Instead of gathering single brushes over time you get a matched set for your face and eyes straight away, often with a case, holder or brush belt included. At Boozyshop you will find make-up brush sets in all sizes and price ranges, from a compact set of four brushes to an extensive set you can create a whole look with.
Make-up brush set: all the brushes you need in one set
What is in a make-up brush set?
Most sets are built around the same core. You get a large powder brush, a foundation brush or blender for your base, a smaller brush for concealer, a blush or bronzer brush and a couple of eyeshadow brushes to apply and blend out. The bigger the set, the more specialist brushes come with it: a fluffy blending brush, a dense contour brush, an angled eyeliner brush or a spoolie for your brows. So when you compare, do not just look at the number of brushes, but mainly at which ones you will actually use.
A brush set for your face or for your eyes
There are three kinds of sets. A face set is built around larger brushes for foundation, powder, blush, bronzer and contour. An eye set consists of smaller brushes for eyeshadow, blending, eyeliner and brows. And a complete set combines the two, so you have everything from base to eyes. Already have a foundation brush you like? Then a separate eye set is usually a smarter addition than another complete set.
Which brush set suits you?
You do not have to start with a set of fifteen brushes. Look instead at how you do your make-up:
- Beginner: a set of four to six brushes with a base, powder, blush and eyeshadow brush covers almost every everyday look.
- Advanced: a set of ten or more brushes gives you dedicated brushes for contour, highlighter, concealer and precision work around the eyes.
- On the go: a travel set with short handles and a case fits in your bag without the bristles getting squashed.
- Gift: a set in a box or with a holder included is a gift that is ready as it is.
How much does a make-up brush set cost?
The price mainly comes down to the number of brushes and the type of bristles. Synthetic bristles work perfectly with liquid and cream products and are easier to clean, and those are exactly what you find in most sets. A small set is already available for a few euros per brush, while an extensive pro set with a case sits higher. So work out the price per brush instead of only looking at the total, and you will see straight away which set gives you the most.
How do you clean the brushes in your set?
With daily use, wash your brushes once a week. Use lukewarm water with a mild shampoo or a brush cleanser, and keep the bristles pointing down so no water runs into the metal ferrule. Squeeze the moisture out gently, reshape the bristles and let them dry upside down or flat. That keeps the glue under the bristles intact and your brushes keep their shape. For a quick clean between colours a spray cleanser lets you use the same brush straight away.
How do you store your brush set?
Only put your brushes away once they are completely dry, and stand them upright with the bristles pointing up or lay them flat. The case or roll that comes with many sets is ideal for travelling, because every brush has its own slot. At home a brush holder is nicer: you see at a glance what you have and you always reach for the right one.
