I’m just starting back to using makeup after a period of a few yrs as I’ve battled a parent’s death & an adult child’s death, so I’ve been battling depression for awhile & just now getting myself back to caring again as I should. Slowly, but surely the sooner the better. I went through a lot of time dealing w self esteem & very low confidence. It’s been a very bad time for me. Those of you that believe in prayer, please pray for me. Thank you Andreea in all that you have been doing for all of us ladies that have a problem & of course those that don’t! I think you are an amazing teacher, influencer, & an incredible person, all into one. Thank you for all that you do & are in this world for others!❤And for all of us!! We love you so much from the East Coast of the USA❤❤❤.
Dear Ann! It is a good sign that you seek beauty in life again. Grief takes its time, and your comment shows that you are a caring and grateful person. Everyday routines help to get going again, and why not add a little makeup... It will help you to feel good in your skin (a French saying) find little sparks of joy. Your loved ones are not forgotten, and neither are you. Coincidence led you to Andreea's channel, and she teaches us to add a little magic to everyday life. You can revisit these videos whenever you feel down and depressed. And try to confide: there will be better days. Sending you kind thoughts and love from Germany
rèphr 05 made me a princess at age 75!! lol. Its exceptional and so elevating to use beautiful tools! I use rèphr #01, Rosie #02, Anastasia #25, Nyx #37. That's all i own! Picking up the 2 Hourglass next. Thanks, Andreea! It's so much fun to join the beauty sisterhood after decades off the grid. xo
I'm easily influenced so I have way toooo many brushes considering I wear very basic makeup. I always go back to my real techniques 202 for foundation, MAC 224 for one and done eyeshadow 😂 I have bought so many Rephr brushes and although they feel lovely, I've completed confused and overwhelmed myself as for which brush is for what 😅 Thanks for your video, as I'll give them another go and see what I can incorporate into my makeup routine since there are no real rules xx
I feel the exact same way! I have plenty of beautiful brushes, plenty of them eye brushes and I have no idea how to use/where to use them. I probably have over 50 brushes and I am NOT a makeup artist, just a 60 year old girly-girl. 😎
The rephr website doesn't give a fixed name / purpose to each brush, so I'm thinking that's deliberate and you are supposed to just play around and find your own preference
Hello Andrea! Thank you brushes confuse me, I usually apply my make up mostly with my fingers but i’d like to switch to brushes. On a different note, do you have a tip for oily lids? If i want to apply eyeshadow and eyeliner on the daily. Thanks xx
I would like to try your brushes but please start making a different color option or just black. Maroon and gray have to be my least fave colors. I won't buy Sonja G maroon or brown either.
@@AllyKitall black BK brush, I am sold 💸 I love Rephr for the look and performance, Sonia G I have the same difficulty with the red brush, I don’t buy red handle like you 😅😆💛 I am happy to know, I am not alone.
I have been waiting for an updated brush video. I found Rephr because of Andrea and my makeup application has changed for the better. I find Rephr face brushes to be perfect for my small face. Here are my top 5 brushes at the moment: Rephr #05 Rephr #04 Rephr #16 Rephr #03 ABH Brush 7B
I've watched your brush videos from 3 years ago when I started to create my own brush collection last year and your suggestions really helped me. My favorite and best fit brushes are 05 rephr for blush (I love it!), 01 rephr for eye shadow, I also like 221s from mäc for eyeshadow, 7 ItCosmetics for concealer and makeup. This video helped me to find out how to use 02, 23, 03 from rephr :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi Andreea, thanks again for the videos you share ❤ they are like a ritual to me every Sunday (even at 6am 😂). My favorite brushes are: - the IT cosmetics heavenly luxe complexion perfection n7 - rephr brushes: 1, 2, 3 and 23 (the last one is perfect for applying at the base of lashes as I cannot apply eyeliner). Kisses and hugs, I hope you get well ❤
I got the Hourglass concealer brush last week during the Sephora sale. What is this magical sorcery in this brush?! My concealer blended out like butter! I should've known, my favorite brushes are all Hourglass.
Fun! I just got done washing my favorite brushes and now I get to settle in and watch a video to see your favorite brushes. 😊 Good quality brushes are such a great investment! Have a wonderful day!!
Everyday brush, Smudger Eye /w Blending brush for my eyes. Oval paddle liquid foundation, Angled dimpled blusher/bronzer/highlight, Extra large fan brush for blush, Big Fluff Powder for the finish. ❤️ Love your enthusiasm and knowledge. Thank you Andreea ❤️
I have like 30 brushes from different brands but my essentials are: blending eye shadow brush, then I have a smaller fluffy one for the outside corners where I put the darker shade of my eyeshadow, and an angle brush to use where the eyeliner should be, but instead I use dark brown eyeshadow to do the line (i don't like liquid eyeliner) and I use it also for the exterior corner to do the tail. Last one for eyes is a smaller blending brush for the inferior eye lid, right under the lashes. So 4 brushes for the eyes. For face I use 3 or 4 brushes also, one for powder, one for blush and another one for illuminator or/and bronzer. I also have one brush for eyebrows and a couple of extra smaller blending brushes if I decide to add extra color to the eye makeup or for the interior corner /under-brow illuminator. So yeah a total of 12 brushes it's more than enough for the average user. Thank you for the review really appreciate it. I've always wondered what brushes do you use, cause I'm not big on makeup brands, I basically buy what seems good quality or very know brands, but not all the time these brands have the best products in terms of makeup tools, and I wouldn't pay excessively for a makeup brush just because it's "Channel" for example.
Great video! Rephr brushes have changed my eye make up! Top 5 brushes for me: IT cosmetics double ended foundation brush KVD 20 Rephr#5 Rephr#3 Slanted stiff eyebrow brush but I use it as an eyeliner brush to place powder or ND cream to powder product as eyeliner instead of liquid liner
Rephr and Zoeva. Some ABH (brow, highlighter & foundation brush are my faves) & IT face brushes. I agree about the new limited edition Rephr brush. Perfection, like a gentle sweep.
His whole new collection looks amazing but unfortunately I can only dream due to the cost. The two pointed eye shadow brushes I was going to get though are both sold out 😢
Thanks for a great video. My favorites are KVD #40 for cream/liq concealer, Smashbox 3 for powder eye shadow in the crease, Mirabella blending brush for lid, BK Beauty 106 for cream blush (FABULOUS) & BK Beauty 107 for powder blush.
I have only Rephr brushes and using them the same way you do…concealer, liquid blush etc. Forever grateful to YOU and Rephr💕 Also I have to say I’m using the rephr soap and mines are not shedding at all, although I wash them after every use. I have a trick….after wash when its halfway dry I comb them gently with a tweezer comb or something similar bristles…takes 1min. After a year of use they still looks like brand new….wish they would drob a kabuki brush on the market…
My top five make up brushes would be the Smashbox full coverage foundation, Wayne Goss number 13, rephr numbers 13 and 14, and the Wayne Goss airbrush. I use those every day. I don’t own any Sonia G brushes, but I would love to add the smooth buffer to my collection. I love Smashbox, it cosmetics, mac before they went synthetic, rephr, Wayne, Goss, and the old luxe line from zoeva.
Great video. Thank you very much. I usually use Sigma brushes, but will give some of these a try. By the way, when you mention BK Beauty brushes in collaboration with “Angie Hot and Flashy”, Angie is another You Tube influencer from the US who is 60 (like me) and focuses on makeup and beauty gadgets and skin care for more mature women. I love you both!
Thanks for these great recommendations! No surprise many of your favorites are what I’ve bought along the way :) My newest discovery/love from the Rephr sale is #29- for stamping along the lash line, it’s working even better than the little precise #23. Game-changer!
Thanks for your effort to educate us, I use mostly zoeva, huda beauty, mac 217 and a turkish brand "so fly" brushes, shipping can sometimes cost more than the price because of that I can't reach most of the brands you mentioned, but I bought zoeva and huda beauty brushes because I saw you were using them and they are sold in Türkiye, thank you and your lovely being❤❤❤
Hy Andreea! Beautiful video!I use for face: Zoeva nr.127,Daniel Sandler contour powder, Da Vinci CLASSIC LUXE ,Natalia Surymta nr.9 and for eyes Natalia Surymta nr.16 and nr.18,Inglot nr.30T!❤
Absolutely brilliant Andreea thank you, it's just what I've been waiting for. I have a complete weakness for make-up brushes, and have far too many, many more than a person could possibly ever actually use (embarrassed 😳 look on my face). Sigma, MAC, Morphe, Zoeva, Vieve, Nars, RT, It cosmetics, a couple of Chanel, and Dior etc, etc...and if I could afford them I'd love a complete set of Rephr brushes. But I always go back to my favourites which I constantly use. I should have a good old clear out, but then I would always want to use one I no longer have.....! ❤
My 2 favorite brushes are by Real Techniques. I have had them for years, and they are like new. I use a big, fluffy one for bronzer and a smaller fluffy eye brush for blending eye shadow, applying a one eye shadow look, contouring my nose, etc. I also have a Morphe powder eyeliner brush that I love.
This video has been so informative. I have a few of the brushes you have recommended which made me very happy. I’m definitely looking into purchasing the rephr #5 & the new rephr brush for powder. What great brushes, perfect shapes & sizes for application. Also, thank you for the tips & recommendations on eye brushes. They are definitely a must for flawless application. Andreea your communication & instructions are perfection. You are captivating! I will listen & watch this video over & over again!!❤💫💫
I admit I don't have the ideal brushes for bronzer and blush, but then again, I only started using this kind of makeup since following you. I'm still improving. And I already perfected my eye brushes thanks to you, I bought the cosmetips package with the rephr brushes. I have a fun fact to share - I used to do all my eye makeup with a brush from zoeva no 235 witch is a contour shader 😋... How about that? 😅
My daily go-to are Sephora 57 for concealer, Bobbi brown eye blender and powder brush, Hourglass foundation brush, Tom Ford bronzer and blush brush, Real Techniques stippling brush for cream blush or bronzer, MAC 227 for all over lid for one and done shadow. If I get a little more fancy Louise Young LY12 for inner corner, Bobbi Brown eyeshadow and eye smudge brush. Some of my brushes I've had for 10-15 years. I'm currently looking for brushes for cream products since I'm dabbling more in that now.
Best helpful brush video Ive Ever seen!! You did Such A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING EACH BRUSHand how you use them. The differences between creams, powders, densities. I truly mean it🎉❤
I see I’m not the only one with a million brushes and I don’t wear a lot of makeup. When I do, it’s very basic. I don’t go glam very often. That’s why I love your makeup. I absolutely LOVE rephr brushes. Thanks to you and your tutorial, I now have a better idea how and where to use them .
Rephr and Zoeva are my ride or die at this point when it comes to the eyes! For the face, I quite enjoy Real Techniques! Slowly but surely, though, I'm replacing some of them with Rephr as well! It's an investment but such a worthwhile one. I have five complete sets, I use a set for a week and then set them aside to be washed. Once I am on set number five I wash the other four. I find it works really well as a system.
@@annalinacifani1280 yess they do all get a turn and this way I wash my brushes only once per month lol My local Sephora has a very limited ABH display but I have been eyeing them brushes online lol Might be time to pull the trigger!
I bought last year some rephr brushes based on your recommendations and yes, they are amazing. One year later, they still look like new. I want new ones but since I'm not a make up artist, I don't need so many 😅 And for creamy textures I tried the brush from rare beauty and it works also amazingly! Especially with rare beauty creamy blushes.
Thank you for going through all the brushes. I got your collaboration in May I loved everything in it plus the brushes. I do have several of the BK Beauty I love the quality and it’s mission statement (Be Kind). ❤️ Angie’s brushes are especially made for more mature eyes which is me. 🙏👏❤️
This video was SO useful for me, just last few days I realized I don't know much about brushes. I have few and sometimes I thought "Oh, what am I doing wrong? It just don't set the product right!" - now I understand why. Appeared I saw only part of the problem - that I don't have enough brushes and those types sort of wrong for what I'm doing. So now thanks to you I know what should I buy for it to work properly, thanks a lot, this video was so in-time for me and VERY helpful!
Great video as usual Andreea . I mostly use It cosmetics heavenly luxe 7 or Zoeva 104 for my foundation Both are good. I use It cosmetics no 5 for eyeshadow and I recently bought Rephr no 15 and 12 for eyeshadow and find 😢them very good. I also have a number of cheaper eyeshadow brushes that I use I agree with you that good quality brushes are a bonus when applying makeup but not a lover of the dual ended brushes because they have to be stored flat.
Loved it Andreea! I tried Rephr brushes because I heard you raving about them and they are now my favorite eye brushes. I would love to see a video on this makeup look if you have a chance please. All the best!
Love alot of the brushes you mentioned. Also love Rare Beauty foundation brush. As an Australian l have to mention my love of Rae Morris' magnetic brushes.
Hi Andreea. I think you mistakenly recommended brush Rephr 37 for concealer, but this brush is actually #36. Correct me if I am wrong. Brush 37 is for face and blush and has a rounded top 😊
Very educational, Andreea! I have a good-sized collection of brushes, but you introduced me to some missing from my collection, like the more precise pencil brush. I use the BK Beauty 206 for my Hourglass Ambient Light Soft Glow foundation and the BK x Angie Hot & Flashy A506 for concealer. Otherwise, I switch around for contour, blush and bronzer with BK Beauty, e.l.f., and Sephora brushes. I alternate between my Sigma brushes and BK x Angie brushes for eyeshadow work. My favorite brush for the outer eye contour and sweeping the shadow upward toward the outer brow is my Bare Escentuals curved, angled shadow brush, which I don't think they make anymore. It's about 20 years old. My Smashbox No. 12 is my go-to brow brush, which is also probably 20 years old and not produced anymore. It's firm but slightly/softly curved to get between the brow hairs and fill with powder.
The thing that took me years to get a natural hair brush was price and especially even knowing how to use different brushes and why?! Thank you for educating us on what makes a brush good and what to use it for and why! You’re a great teacher Ali and it’s great to watch your videos. Now with high quality brushes AND using them for different applications it really leveled me up (along with higher quality makeup)❤ love from Montreal ❤
BK Beauty 101 (foundation); BK/Angie Hot & Flashy A506 (concealer) or SoniaG Soft Concealer; Rephr 37 (blush); Rephr 02 (eyeshadow); SoniaG Face Pro (powder).
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been looking for a brush to apply my powder blush and so your video could not have come at a more perfect time. And it so happens that Rephr is having a huge online sale. I purchased 3 No. 5 brushes 😊 Andreea I also want you to know how much you’ve inspired me to get out of my comfort zone with makeup. I’ve been so hesitant to try a more nude lip and I saw your video where you paired ABH lip liner in Deep Taupe with the Hourglass Glossy Lip Blam in Sense and I purchased this today at Sephora. I feel it just looks so pretty and I feel pretty wearing it. I just love all your lip combos! 🎉 Including the one for this video. Would love to know what it is. Thanks for teaching me so much about beauty; inside and out! Warm wishes from Canada ❤️
Hello Andreea, I use Mac brushes for the eyes that I have had for years and for the face bobby brown brush for foundation, a Mac for powder. Thank you for this video and have a nice Sunday
I took so many notes, thank you Andreaa! This was very helpful! I wish you could do my make-up once, so that I know which shades I need, how to best apply it on my skin and which brushes to use. It is so annoying, that when I go make-up shopping, each shop assistant recommends a different shade or product to me. So I am so unsure, what to use. Love your videos! All the very best for you 🫶
When are you applying eyeshadow? Before or after concealer and foundation? If you apply the shadow last, the pigments always fall under your eye, and ruin the undereye area. I really don’t want to ( bake ) in layers.😉
Hi Andreea, I love your choices of brushes. I use only powder blushes and the recommended Gucci sun-kissed bronzer 01 fair. Love that bronzer. It adds such a soft glow. I applied it with the Rephr 5 brush. I bought 3 REPHR 5 brushes for my powder blushes. They are very soft. I bought the Hourglass dual brush and the Patrick Ta dual brush too. Love them all. I also bought the Luminous silk foundation 5 after not wearing foundation for 30 years. Love it. I bought the BK 101 and the BK 109 brushes. They are both great but I reach more for the BK 109 because it uses less product and the application is softer. The BK 101 is for foundation lovers. I just like soft touch of a foundation more like a natural makeup. Thank you again for all your great videos. You are just AMAZINGLY TALENTED and STUNNIGLY BEAUTIFUL! And funny too. 🙂
What a helpful video! My top five fave brushes are BK Beauty and BK Beauty x Angie Hot & Flashy brushes you featured. Also, my Hakuhodo brushes - 5 in a travel pouch - that I bought after you featured them years ago. Will you please consider doing a video on how to conceal bruises that I get after getting Botox or Juvederm. Thank you!
I have just ordered some Rephr eye brushes based on your recommendations. I use Hakuhodos mainly but I am always interested in smaller eye brushes since I have small eyelids. My all time favorite foundation brush is Morphe M439. I have several because once they are dirty I have to clean it to use again so they are in a rotation. I also have the mini version of that one the M449 for concealor. I also love the Chanel flat foundation brush for laying down certain foundations. I am going to order that BK Beauty one as well.
Andreea thank you for this really informative video. I have a mixture of brushes, CT and Clé de Peau and drugstore…but needed to zero in on more specific brushes for different tasks. I was hoping too you would share some useful cleaning tips and the best products for dry cleaning…just for completion. 😊 You’re so knowledgeable and generous with your suggestions. ❤️
Andreea, you are a superstar for this video. I have the entire collection of Refr brushes, ten of the BK/Angie brushes, several of IT cosmetics, and some misc other older brushes. I LOVE all of them but somewhat overwhelmed with how to use them. I’ll be rewatching this video.
Love love love this. Thank you. I've followed you for so long and obviously my brush collection has grown too 😂. More than 50 brushes but all are STILL my favourite 😁. Thanks to you for tirelessly educating us, my makeup looks always get praises 😘😍
Excellent content, Andreea. Thank you! Would you please remind me which Rephr brushes are best for applying cream eyeshadow and foundation? I have started to use more cream eyeshadows and want to still use my Rephr brushes. I have really enjoyed them over the past year.
Thank you, thank you!! Great video!! I will be purchasing some of the brushes you mentioned. Stunning makeup look as always!!! Would you please share this look? Amazing!!!
Such a great review, thank you. As someone just getting into makeup at forty-five I really appreciate these reviews. What do you think of Westman Atelier brushes?
I couldn’t help myself but but the baby blender (and am enjoying it). Also, I completed a free consultation with WA to learn how to use their products, too!
I love sephora collection pro brushes!❤ I use number 64 everyday to apply nars soft matte concealer all over my face, works so well and perfect for morning rush. Wanted to try rephr and bk beauty bc you love it but i think they don't ship to my country🤷♀️
My top 5 brushes are Sephora Collection 57, Bobbi Brown Full Coverage, Mac 117, It Cosmetics Heavenly Foundation and a very old discontinued Yves Rocher blush brush 😅
I love brushes. Too much, I think. Some favorites are Vieve Conceal & Prime, Vieve large & small eyeshadow blender brushes, Lisa Eldridge lip brush (I love all of her brushes but this is the best lip brush I have ever used), MAC 159 for cream blush, MyKitCo My Soft Highlighter for liquid highlight like Lisa Eldridge elevated glow
I would like to know how to find a perfect foundation for women who have many wrinkles. I do not want to go get Botox. I am aging gracefully, I am 56 but have wrinkles under my eyes and they only get worse with foundation, but every foundation I use cuts into my wrinkles. I'm at the point where I just don't use foundation anymore. Does the moisturizer and powder before the foundation even work?
I often see you using a long tapered natural powder brush that is NOT dense and does not deposit alot of product (for applying under eye powder) . Can you please advise? I don't see it on rephr website. Thank you❤
I love brush videos. Definitely will look into some of these recommendations. I tend to grab the same brushes from IT cosmetics, Persona, and older urban decay brushes. Now I need an upgrade with the right tools.
I have a Zoeva brush you showed us, some years ago! The hair is flat, liked cut, and fantastic for liquid makeup. Great video this one! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you!
Andreea, I LOVE your eye makeup!! This is the type of eye makeup I really love!!! You always look so beautiful! Your makeup always looks so gorgeous & perfect every time especially today!!! LOVE, love, love! So much!!!❤❤❤
This is so helpful! I appreciate the explanations as to how you pick and choose which brush. I have BK beauty brushes mostly and Rephr. I do have an hourglass one that I love also, so soft!
Hi Andreea, I've been following you since you used to live in Romania, probably even before you got to be an Anastasia Beverly Hills makeup artist. I can't really remember as it's been quite some time since then😅. Thank you very much for all your hard work here on youtube, I've learned a lot from you, and most of your recommendations have worked for me. I think 2 years ago when Becca was about to not be on the market anymore as a brand, you recommended Bali Sands bronzer. I got it, and it became my all-time favourite bronzer. Of course, they don't make it anymore, and I am just about to finish mine. Have you perhaps found a good dupe for it, please? None of my other 20 odd bronzers seem to be not even close to that one. Again, thanks for everything you are doing here. Greetings from the UK 😊

Rephr#3
Slanted stiff eyebrow brush but I use it as an eyeliner brush to place powder or ND cream to powder product as eyeliner instead of liquid liner

Rephr and Zoeva. Some ABH (brow, highlighter & foundation brush are my faves) & IT face brushes. I agree about the new limited edition Rephr brush. Perfection, like a gentle sweep.
Love the brush information. I have quite a few of these. I would like to see storage tips ~ especially double ended brushes. Thank you👏
I use Wayne Goss eye brushes. I cannot use others ever since I started using his. But Rhefer ones looks great... I may try them. Thank you
His whole new collection looks amazing but unfortunately I can only dream due to the cost. The two pointed eye shadow brushes I was going to get though are both sold out 😢
Yes.
I use his eye brushes and Sonia G face brushes.
And foundation brush I use the BK beauty.
Thanks for a great video. My favorites are KVD #40 for cream/liq concealer, Smashbox 3 for powder eye shadow in the crease, Mirabella blending brush for lid, BK Beauty 106 for cream blush (FABULOUS) & BK Beauty 107 for powder blush.

After a year of use they still looks like brand new….wish they would drob a kabuki brush on the market…
My top five make up brushes would be the Smashbox full coverage foundation, Wayne Goss number 13, rephr numbers 13 and 14, and the Wayne Goss airbrush. I use those every day. I don’t own any Sonia G brushes, but I would love to add the smooth buffer to my collection. I love Smashbox, it cosmetics, mac before they went synthetic, rephr, Wayne, Goss, and the old luxe line from zoeva.
Bisyodo - Foundation, Hakahudo J series for my small eyes, Chikahudo Setting powder - these are my luxe - i love myself brushes.
Great video. Thank you very much. I usually use Sigma brushes, but will give some of these a try. By the way, when you mention BK Beauty brushes in collaboration with “Angie Hot and Flashy”, Angie is another You Tube influencer from the US who is 60 (like me) and focuses on makeup and beauty gadgets and skin care for more mature women. I love you both!
Thanks for these great recommendations! No surprise many of your favorites are what I’ve bought along the way :) My newest discovery/love from the Rephr sale is #29- for stamping along the lash line, it’s working even better than the little precise #23. Game-changer!
Thanks for your effort to educate us, I use mostly zoeva, huda beauty, mac 217 and a turkish brand "so fly" brushes, shipping can sometimes cost more than the price because of that I can't reach most of the brands you mentioned, but I bought zoeva and huda beauty brushes because I saw you were using them and they are sold in Türkiye, thank you and your lovely being❤❤❤
Hy Andreea! Beautiful video!I use for face: Zoeva nr.127,Daniel Sandler contour powder,
Da Vinci CLASSIC LUXE ,Natalia Surymta nr.9 and for eyes Natalia Surymta nr.16 and nr.18,Inglot nr.30T!❤
Absolutely brilliant Andreea thank you, it's just what I've been waiting for. I have a complete weakness for make-up brushes, and have far too many, many more than a person could possibly ever actually use (embarrassed 😳 look on my face). Sigma, MAC, Morphe, Zoeva, Vieve, Nars, RT, It cosmetics, a couple of Chanel, and Dior etc, etc...and if I could afford them I'd love a complete set of Rephr brushes. But I always go back to my favourites which I constantly use. I should have a good old clear out, but then I would always want to use one I no longer have.....! ❤
My 2 favorite brushes are by Real Techniques. I have had them for years, and they are like new. I use a big, fluffy one for bronzer and a smaller fluffy eye brush for blending eye shadow, applying a one eye shadow look, contouring my nose, etc. I also have a Morphe powder eyeliner brush that I love.
This video has been so informative. I have a few of the brushes you have recommended which made me very happy. I’m definitely looking into purchasing the rephr #5 & the new rephr brush for powder. What great brushes, perfect shapes & sizes for application. Also, thank you for the tips & recommendations on eye brushes. They are definitely a must for flawless application.
Andreea your communication & instructions are perfection. You are captivating! I will listen & watch this video over & over again!!❤💫💫
I totally agree!❤
Thank you for this video. So helpful with explanations of each brush and what they are best used for. I have been waiting for this type of video.😀
I admit I don't have the ideal brushes for bronzer and blush, but then again, I only started using this kind of makeup since following you. I'm still improving. And I already perfected my eye brushes thanks to you, I bought the cosmetips package with the rephr brushes. I have a fun fact to share - I used to do all my eye makeup with a brush from zoeva no 235 witch is a contour shader 😋... How about that? 😅
Andreea, you look stunning.
Can you please do the makeup tutorial of your todays creation.
(Now that I've got all the brushes you have recommended😅)
My daily go-to are Sephora 57 for concealer, Bobbi brown eye blender and powder brush, Hourglass foundation brush, Tom Ford bronzer and blush brush, Real Techniques stippling brush for cream blush or bronzer, MAC 227 for all over lid for one and done shadow. If I get a little more fancy Louise Young LY12 for inner corner, Bobbi Brown eyeshadow and eye smudge brush. Some of my brushes I've had for 10-15 years. I'm currently looking for brushes for cream products since I'm dabbling more in that now.
Hi Andreea, have you used Hakuhodo brushes, do you think they are worth splurging on?
Best helpful brush video Ive Ever seen!! You did Such A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING EACH BRUSHand how you use them. The differences between creams, powders, densities. I truly mean it🎉❤
I see I’m not the only one with a million brushes and I don’t wear a lot of makeup. When I do, it’s very basic. I don’t go glam very often. That’s why I love your makeup. I absolutely LOVE rephr brushes. Thanks to you and your tutorial, I now have a better idea how and where to use them .
Rephr and Zoeva are my ride or die at this point when it comes to the eyes! For the face, I quite enjoy Real Techniques! Slowly but surely, though, I'm replacing some of them with Rephr as well! It's an investment but such a worthwhile one.
I have five complete sets, I use a set for a week and then set them aside to be washed. Once I am on set number five I wash the other four. I find it works really well as a system.
Great idea, especially to make sure they are all getting used too! My faves are also Rephr and Zoeva. Plus a couple by ABH.
@@annalinacifani1280 yess they do all get a turn and this way I wash my brushes only once per month lol My local Sephora has a very limited ABH display but I have been eyeing them brushes online lol Might be time to pull the trigger!
I bought last year some rephr brushes based on your recommendations and yes, they are amazing. One year later, they still look like new. I want new ones but since I'm not a make up artist, I don't need so many 😅
And for creamy textures I tried the brush from rare beauty and it works also amazingly! Especially with rare beauty creamy blushes.
Thank you for going through all the brushes. I got your collaboration in May I loved everything in it plus the brushes. I do have several of the BK Beauty I love the quality and it’s mission statement (Be Kind). ❤️ Angie’s brushes are especially made for more mature eyes which is me. 🙏👏❤️
I’ll have to try Angie’s brushes during the upcoming Black Friday sale
This video was SO useful for me, just last few days I realized I don't know much about brushes. I have few and sometimes I thought "Oh, what am I doing wrong? It just don't set the product right!" - now I understand why. Appeared I saw only part of the problem - that I don't have enough brushes and those types sort of wrong for what I'm doing. So now thanks to you I know what should I buy for it to work properly, thanks a lot, this video was so in-time for me and VERY helpful!
Great video as usual Andreea . I mostly use It cosmetics heavenly luxe 7 or Zoeva 104 for my foundation Both are good. I use It cosmetics no 5 for eyeshadow and I recently bought Rephr no 15 and 12 for eyeshadow and find 😢them very good. I also have a number of cheaper eyeshadow brushes that I use I agree with you that good quality brushes are a bonus when applying makeup but not a lover of the dual ended brushes because they have to be stored flat.
Every single one of your videos is a masterclass. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Loved it Andreea! I tried Rephr brushes because I heard you raving about them and they are now my favorite eye brushes. I would love to see a video on this makeup look if you have a chance please. All the best!
Love alot of the brushes you mentioned. Also love Rare Beauty foundation brush. As an Australian l have to mention my love of Rae Morris' magnetic brushes.
I live in Texas, and I also love ❤ Rae Morris brushes!!
Andreea, you're professionalism is mind-blowing. I so appreciate your beauty advice.
Hi Andreea. I think you mistakenly recommended brush Rephr 37 for concealer, but this brush is actually #36. Correct me if I am wrong.
Brush 37 is for face and blush and has a rounded top 😊
Very educational, Andreea! I have a good-sized collection of brushes, but you introduced me to some missing from my collection, like the more precise pencil brush. I use the BK Beauty 206 for my Hourglass Ambient Light Soft Glow foundation and the BK x Angie Hot & Flashy A506 for concealer. Otherwise, I switch around for contour, blush and bronzer with BK Beauty, e.l.f., and Sephora brushes. I alternate between my Sigma brushes and BK x Angie brushes for eyeshadow work. My favorite brush for the outer eye contour and sweeping the shadow upward toward the outer brow is my Bare Escentuals curved, angled shadow brush, which I don't think they make anymore. It's about 20 years old. My Smashbox No. 12 is my go-to brow brush, which is also probably 20 years old and not produced anymore. It's firm but slightly/softly curved to get between the brow hairs and fill with powder.
The Rephr Saibikoho cheek brush is truly my favorite brush ever. I hope they restock so I can buy a 2nd and the Wayne Goss Airbrush 🤌🤌🤌
The thing that took me years to get a natural hair brush was price and especially even knowing how to use different brushes and why?! Thank you for educating us on what makes a brush good and what to use it for and why! You’re a great teacher Ali and it’s great to watch your videos. Now with high quality brushes AND using them for different applications it really leveled me up (along with higher quality makeup)❤ love from Montreal ❤
BK Beauty 101 (foundation); BK/Angie Hot & Flashy A506 (concealer) or SoniaG Soft Concealer; Rephr 37 (blush); Rephr 02 (eyeshadow); SoniaG Face Pro (powder).
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been looking for a brush to apply my powder blush and so your video could not have come at a more perfect time. And it so happens that Rephr is having a huge online sale. I purchased 3 No. 5 brushes 😊 Andreea I also want you to know how much you’ve inspired me to get out of my comfort zone with makeup. I’ve been so hesitant to try a more nude lip and I saw your video where you paired ABH lip liner in Deep Taupe with the Hourglass Glossy Lip Blam in Sense and I purchased this today at Sephora. I feel it just looks so pretty and I feel pretty wearing it. I just love all your lip combos! 🎉 Including the one for this video. Would love to know what it is. Thanks for teaching me so much about beauty; inside and out! Warm wishes from Canada ❤️
I just spent about $80 on Rephr’s website now for that ONE blush brush myself (which morphed into a big basket at that price point!)
Hello Andreea, I use Mac brushes for the eyes that I have had for years and for the face bobby brown brush for foundation, a Mac for powder. Thank you for this video and have a nice Sunday
I took so many notes, thank you Andreaa! This was very helpful! I wish you could do my make-up once, so that I know which shades I need, how to best apply it on my skin and which brushes to use. It is so annoying, that when I go make-up shopping, each shop assistant recommends a different shade or product to me. So I am so unsure, what to use.
Love your videos! All the very best for you 🫶
When are you applying eyeshadow? Before or after concealer and foundation? If you apply the shadow last, the pigments always fall under your eye, and ruin the undereye area. I really don’t want to ( bake ) in layers.😉
Hi Andreea, I love your choices of brushes. I use only powder blushes and the recommended Gucci sun-kissed bronzer 01 fair. Love that bronzer. It adds such a soft glow. I applied it with the Rephr 5 brush. I bought 3 REPHR 5 brushes for my powder blushes. They are very soft. I bought the Hourglass dual brush and the Patrick Ta dual brush too. Love them all. I also bought the Luminous silk foundation 5 after not wearing foundation for 30 years. Love it. I bought the BK 101 and the BK 109 brushes. They are both great but I reach more for the BK 109 because it uses less product and the application is softer. The BK 101 is for foundation lovers. I just like soft touch of a foundation more like a natural makeup. Thank you again for all your great videos. You are just AMAZINGLY TALENTED and STUNNIGLY BEAUTIFUL! And funny too. 🙂
What a helpful video! My top five fave brushes are BK Beauty and BK Beauty x Angie Hot & Flashy brushes you featured. Also, my Hakuhodo brushes - 5 in a travel pouch - that I bought after you featured them years ago.
Will you please consider doing a video on how to conceal bruises that I get after getting Botox or Juvederm. Thank you!
Rephr are the Best!! I bought some after watching your video and I just live them! So soft and easy to use
Your sweater is so cute!
Omg, this was amazing. No one does it better, u r such a wonderful teacher.
I have just ordered some Rephr eye brushes based on your recommendations. I use Hakuhodos mainly but I am always interested in smaller eye brushes since I have small eyelids. My all time favorite foundation brush is Morphe M439. I have several because once they are dirty I have to clean it to use again so they are in a rotation. I also have the mini version of that one the M449 for concealor. I also love the Chanel flat foundation brush for laying down certain foundations. I am going to order that BK Beauty one as well.
Andreea thank you for this really informative video. I have a mixture of brushes, CT and Clé de Peau and drugstore…but needed to zero in on more specific brushes for different tasks. I was hoping too you would share some useful cleaning tips and the best products for dry cleaning…just for completion. 😊 You’re so knowledgeable and generous with your suggestions. ❤️
Thank you very much Anndrea!!My favourite eye brushes are from Zoeva🥰
Thank you Andreea for this educational video. I noticed that you use also Misa brushes but didn't mentioned any here. Do you recoment them?
Andreea, you are a superstar for this video. I have the entire collection of Refr brushes, ten of the BK/Angie brushes, several of IT cosmetics, and some misc other older brushes. I LOVE all of them but somewhat overwhelmed with how to use them. I’ll be rewatching this video.
Love love love this. Thank you. I've followed you for so long and obviously my brush collection has grown too 😂. More than 50 brushes but all are STILL my favourite 😁. Thanks to you for tirelessly educating us, my makeup looks always get praises 😘😍
Excellent content, Andreea. Thank you! Would you please remind me which Rephr brushes are best for applying cream eyeshadow and foundation? I have started to use more cream eyeshadows and want to still use my Rephr brushes. I have really enjoyed them over the past year.
Yasss!!! This came out right on time! Also you are glowing darling ✨♥️
You are an absolute treat to watch over the years... It was long awaited video i had been waiting for... Thank you so much. Love you.
I really needed a makeup brush tutorial, and couldn’t have found a better one! Thank you❤️
Thank you, thank you!! Great video!! I will be purchasing some of the brushes you mentioned. Stunning makeup look as always!!! Would you please share this look? Amazing!!!
Such a great review, thank you. As someone just getting into makeup at forty-five I really appreciate these reviews. What do you think of Westman Atelier brushes?
I couldn’t help myself but but the baby blender (and am enjoying it). Also, I completed a free consultation with WA to learn how to use their products, too!
Thanks for sharing, Andrea!
May I ask what you used on eye lids? It's glowy and so pretty! and also what eyeliner on top lids? Thanks in advance!
Andreea, what brush would you recommend using with Hourglass palettes?
Thank you Andrea for your valuable tutorials. I've been watching your videos for less than a year and already developed my makeup skills really well.
Thank you for this video! Great detailed recommendations. I've been waiting for you to make an updated brush video ❤ love your videos
I love sephora collection pro brushes!❤ I use number 64 everyday to apply nars soft matte concealer all over my face, works so well and perfect for morning rush. Wanted to try rephr and bk beauty bc you love it but i think they don't ship to my country🤷♀️
My top 5 brushes are Sephora Collection 57, Bobbi Brown Full Coverage, Mac 117, It Cosmetics Heavenly Foundation and a very old discontinued Yves Rocher blush brush 😅
I love brushes. Too much, I think. Some favorites are Vieve Conceal & Prime, Vieve large & small eyeshadow blender brushes, Lisa Eldridge lip brush (I love all of her brushes but this is the best lip brush I have ever used), MAC 159 for cream blush, MyKitCo My Soft Highlighter for liquid highlight like Lisa Eldridge elevated glow
I would like to know how to find a perfect foundation for women who have many wrinkles. I do not want to go get Botox. I am aging gracefully, I am 56 but have wrinkles under my eyes and they only get worse with foundation, but every foundation I use cuts into my wrinkles. I'm at the point where I just don't use foundation anymore. Does the moisturizer and powder before the foundation even work?
So thorough and helpful. Thank you!
I often see you using a long tapered natural powder brush that is NOT dense and does not deposit alot of product (for applying under eye powder) . Can you please advise? I don't see it on rephr website. Thank you❤
If I wanted a very basic set of brushes, which would you recommend?
I love brush videos. Definitely will look into some of these recommendations. I tend to grab the same brushes from IT cosmetics, Persona, and older urban decay brushes. Now I need an upgrade with the right tools.
I have a Zoeva brush you showed us, some years ago! The hair is flat, liked cut, and fantastic for liquid makeup.
Great video this one! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you!
BK beauty, Rephr, Sonia G are the best brushes hands down. I use each of them for different stuff and I love them all
How do you use these? BK for foundation and Sonia G for eyes? Never heard of Rephr. Thanks for the tip!
My fav for foundation is BK, Rephr and Sonia I use their eye brushes. Sonia also has great foundation brushes too
How do you travel with double sided brushes. Aren‘t the brushes changing their shape if it stands on the bristle side?
Rephr 33 my fave! The easiest and best way to apply my eyeshadow !!! And La mer powder brush is unique like no other 💓
Hi Ali, I use an Aveda blush brush for powder. For eyes, I have Mac 217 & 219, also Sephora Crease 09 & Hourglass conclear brush like you!
Great video - merci! This makeup look is so so pretty - please do a tutorial. ❤❤
Love your makeup here! Do you have a tutorial on something similar?
Great video! Thank you! What about brushes for illuminating products or highlighters? Would you please give us a guidance for liquid, cream or powder?
Andreea, I LOVE your eye makeup!! This is the type of eye makeup I really love!!! You always look so beautiful! Your makeup always looks so gorgeous & perfect every time especially today!!! LOVE, love, love! So much!!!❤❤❤
This is so helpful! I appreciate the explanations as to how you pick and choose which brush. I have BK beauty brushes mostly and Rephr. I do have an hourglass one that I love also, so soft!
Thank you Andrea , I love love NYX eye blending brushes such good quality and have good weight. I love Bk beauty too , along with some RAE MORRIS .
How would you apply Chanel Cheek balm? Beauty blender, brush or fingers?
This was very helpful to me, I learned about the different types of brushes I needed and have purchased some of the recommended ones. Thank you!
Hi Andreea, I've been following you since you used to live in Romania, probably even before you got to be an Anastasia Beverly Hills makeup artist. I can't really remember as it's been quite some time since then😅. Thank you very much for all your hard work here on youtube, I've learned a lot from you, and most of your recommendations have worked for me. I think 2 years ago when Becca was about to not be on the market anymore as a brand, you recommended Bali Sands bronzer. I got it, and it became my all-time favourite bronzer. Of course, they don't make it anymore, and I am just about to finish mine. Have you perhaps found a good dupe for it, please? None of my other 20 odd bronzers seem to be not even close to that one. Again, thanks for everything you are doing here. Greetings from the UK 😊
Hi Ali, I am new to make-up. Can you also tell us how to take care of brushes and how often do you wash them?
Omg your makeup here is GORGEOUS. Please do a tutorial🩷
Amazing video!!! Thank you!!
I discover rephr brushes in your videos and I felt in love ever since, they are absolutely the best!
I’m wondering about this hourglass veil powder brush is it powder brush or ambient lighting brush as online it looks more similar for the ambient one.
