What are the most common make-up brushes?

hi! I'm starting to use make up and I'm always going on youtube and i always watch how pretty people put on eye shadow and make up. i need to know what are the most common brushes so that I can buy them and start using make up. i'm very new to this and i would really appreciate it if you would be able to help me out(: i would also like to know a few things about make up. ANddddd where can i buy these products?What are the most common make-up brushes?
first off... never get brushes off of ebay!





if i had to only pick ten brushes....





1. powder kabuki


2. foundation/concealer brush


3. blush brush


4. contouring brush


5. angled shadow brush


6. crease brush


7. eyeliner brush


8. pencil/smudge brush


9. flat brush (to pack on pigments)


10. eyelash separater





i would start out in a set. although sets are not always the best quality, you get more for your money. i got a great set (red brush in silver pouch) from sephora and i couldn't be happier with them

MAC is awesome, but i don't use them because they are made of animals, so i prefer different fibers





eco tools , everyday minerals or sonia kasuck (sp) are okay if you need somethign cheapWhat are the most common make-up brushes?
I would suggest using MAC brushes, they're perfect and last long too!





For eye shadow, I recommend the 217 blending brush and 219 pencil brush.


For blush and face powders, I say get the 116 blush brush, and the 150 powder brush.





You can get them at any MAC store, or their online store =]
I'm guessing what you mean by common is the essentials. Well, you need a good blush brush, powder brush, eyeshadow brush, and, if you wear it, eyeliner brush. An eyebrow brush helps too. Well, to start off, you need a good eyebrow tweezing. Well-groomed eyebrows open up the eyes and face. Now, before you start applying makeup, wash your face well. Dry off and apply a toner- it cleans up soapy residue and removes dirt. Next, slather on a moisturizer. Wait 10 minutes. Apply primer in the same places you apply foundation. Dab foundation on your forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and neck. Blend it in. Use a concealer on blemishes, and an under-eye concealer on bags and dark circle. Dust a translucent powder all over your face to set foundation, make it last longer, and remove shine. For this, use the powder brush. Now take a fluffy blush brush and swirl it in blush. Smile, and use blush on the raised part. Once that's done, you can use it on your temples for a natural finish. Moving on to eyes. Use the eyeshadow brush to apply colored eyeshadow to the ball of the lid. Use a shimmery skin-colored eyeshadow on the area beneath the brow and above the ball. Since you're only just starting with makeup, I doubt you're old enough for eyeliner. Now use a mascara on the top lashes (2 coats) and bottom lashes (1 coat). Use a tinted lip balm and your favorite gloss. I know it sounds like a lot, but if you do it correctly, only the eyeshadow and gloss will seem obvious.
