I love that you added how hard it was to talk about the last 3 brushes. So real!! And not fake at all. Sometimes I feel like some peoples bloopers are over done and planned out. Your bloopers are always realistic and awesome. Thanks for the brush recommendations, time to shop!
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON EARTH WHO USES THE ECHO TOOLS BLUSH BRUSH FOR CONTOUR!! LITERALLY WHEN YOU SHOWED THE BRUSH I WAS LIKE "Oh my goodness please say contour."🙏😂 so glad I'm not crazy!! Hehe love you Kathleen💜
Omg the entire time I was like , she's so freaking adorable!!! I love you Kathleen! I love when UA-cam pops these random older videos of your channel! 🥰
I would LOVE to see an updated "Favorite Makeup Brushes" video including affordable and high end makeup brushes! Especially considering I hang on every single makeup related recommendation you give.
so thanks to this video I just added some elf brushes into my brush collection! Im a beginner and didn't want to splurge on expensive brushes, these elf brushes are so reasonable and def. get the job done!
I bought a bunch of brushes from real techniques about 5 months ago and they hold up wonderfully. I use them almost every day and clean them once a week and I travel with them and they are still in like perfect condition. I haven't noticed any shedding with them or anything. They are amazing and they are my holy grail brushes because they're such great quality and so inexpensive. Worth the buy for sure!
Would you be willing to do an update where you talk about your fav brushes both affordable and higher end. Like which are worth a splurge and its alternative option!!!
I would just love to say, I have been perusing through youtube looking at brush reviews and SO many of them have the most horrible makeup application and it just inspires very little confidence in their recommendations. But you are simply stunning and have such amazingly flawless makeup that I actually want to listen to your videos and take your advice because you very clearly know your stuff. Love it !
Wowza! This is an amazing look!! Loving the high impact foundation, lashes, and lips. You look more stunning than usual, lovely! Looking forward to the tutorial! xoxo
I absolutely love your channel and your videos. I check everyday to see if u posted a new video. I've bought a lot of things u suggested and they work awesome for me. You and Danny are adorable. 😊❤️
+KathleenLights I love u Kathleeeeeennnn!! You and Danny are so lovable and cute together. I am always waiting for ur new updates daily!! I knw ur busy moving these days but I dun mind wher u film ur videos its just I wanna see you. Bless u muaaaahhhh ❤️💋 You never replied to me but I wish u do this time xox
I am obsessed with you, I love how you always have a positive outlook. You never complain or whine which make it so awesome. Their so much negativity everywhere which is awesome that you always are awesome. I watch you with my daughter, so I love your positivity. Love you ❤️
KathleenLights I love this look, classic & stunning!!! You know how to make your real beauty glowing more by your skills. Oh and i I like how you reply almost everyone here, keep your beauty inside & outside
I've been watching your videos all day basically for the past 2 days since I'm home sick and I must say you're my absolute favorite UA-camr! You're so down to earth and so real. It must be the Latina in you. You're absoutely wonderful and such an inspiration
You're such a great UA-camr and makeup artist! Love your videos so much! You're probably my favorite beauty guru out there because you've helped a lot of people out especially those on a budget!
OMG watching this video from 2014 and seeing such a young and nervous Kathleen! So surreal to the outgoing person we know now. I dont even feel like I am watching her real video. The glow up is real!!
I love your makeup! this is the first video I see of you and I love it because many other makeup youtubers talk about mainly high end, expensive brushes and it's so frustrating because I'm just starting out and can't necessarily waste that much money! but thank you for being honest and recommending these non expensive brushes! I've already had the real techniques and some of the elf brushes. and I've been wanting to try the eco tools too! thank you!
just wanted to say that in my country which is Romania the studio line brushes cost twice as much as they do in America. Almost all of them are 6 dollars and some are more than that but also it's the same for Real Techniques and Eco Tools. For example, the R.T powder brush is 15 dollars. and the transportation cost no matter what you get is 5 dollars. Your video is great and I will watch it every time i have the money to buy the brushes I need. Thanks so much.
also, love how you share how many takes you have to do on one segment! it's really hard for me to do talk throughs right now so i like to see that other people have the same problems as i do!
wow, you look gorgeous! Some of my favorite brushes ever are affordable from Drugstore! I agree, Real Techniques brushes are AMAZING!! I do love Target Up & Up brushes, They are really soft and great quality for the price!
I love how you still do drugstore product videos! Your so awesome you truly inspire me to start a UA-cam channel. I ab-solutly love doing make up! Keep doing you girl
I literally hated eyeshadow and eyeliner for so long because of my love for lipstick and bold lips, but after watching your tutorials and seeing how you can make non dramatic eyes actually work, I got some elf eyeshadow products you suggested and i am so excited to try your looks for the holidays! I just need to trade some brushes for the ones you suggested in this video.
currently looking for different youtube gurus to love, (off of the mainstream jaclyn hill/carli bybel) and i have been loving every single video of yours lately!! I feel that I'm more relatable to you than them because they have such a big fan group and such a big makeup collection where as i'm still building mine up! Love you kathleen!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember you saying in a video that you had issues with anxiety? If that's true would you mind doing a video talking about how you have coped with it or how you found to "get over" it? Absolutely love you and your amazing videos. You look GORGEOUS here btw, your makeup is on point :D
If it's something people want to see, I definitely will. I still struggle with it. I don't think it's something I will ever get rid of all together but I can deff make a video
KathleenLights pleeeease do a video on it! I have been suffering with my anxiety for a quite a few years and its only recently gotten a lot worse. I would love to know what you have been doing to cope.
binge watching your videos I love you Mrs lights ♡ keep being you never ever ever change! when I watch you I know that what your saying you love is actually what you love, and for me being a beginner and being someone with little money to spend, I need to make sure that I'm buying something that I will love so my point is I couldn't watch jaclyn and be like okay I am going to buy that pallete because I cannot trust her and I would probably waste my money which is something I cannot afford to do. so Kathleen I cannot stress this enough please never change, always stay your honest self we all adore and love you!!! and thank you thank you thank you for giving us your honest opinion on products because people like me who can only afford what I absolutely love your opinion matters and is so helpful. like I know I wouldn't buy something and have it be garbage because you would never ever tell us (your subscribers) to get something that isn't good. so thank you lol sorry I just had to say this cause your amazing as always (the amount of views and subscriber's haven't changed you unlike alot of others) xoxoxo ♡
Hey kathleen, I wanted to tell you that I love you and your videos so much. I remember that when I subscribed to your channel you had only 20k subs, and now you are 180k I can't believe it! I wanted to let you know that you are amazing in what you are doing. Every time you upload a video I get really excited and happy. I wish you the best in your life. Thank you for everything. With love from mexico 💕
This was exactly what I was looking for! A lot of other youtubers have been recommending high end brushes, which is totally cool, but as a beginner I wanted to experiment with different types and not go into debt!
Really Happy to see a Drugstore Brushes video, I see soooo many drugstore makeup videos (don't get me wrong I love them) but I'm a huge drugstore fan and I have been looking for my perfect set of brushes! So thanks for this!
Why don't you try any European beauty websites? They have fairly low shipping rates, most of them ship to Australia and the prices are, for example only 2$~ higher than the U.S. companies websites. Plus all of them are retailers, so you can find multiple brands and some of them offer free shipping over a certain sum. I'd personally recommend beautybay, feelunique and lookfantastic, my orders have always gone amazingly, and their customer support is great!
You are my absolute favorite beauty UA-cam guru! I listen to all of your advice and so far, with brushes, brands, and makeup products, you haven't steered me wrong! Please never stop what you're doing, you are so helpful!
I just discovered your channel and though I follow TONS of beauty gurus, you are honestly my favorite! You make tutorials that are actually easy to follow, I feel like I can really recreate the look! Thank you for all your makeup advice and reviews! I have a wish list going! :)
Real techniques brushes are around $30 each in New Zealand (the sponge is $20). Morphe face brushes are $20+. Elf is around $10-$15 depending on the brush. EcoTools are the cheapest ($5-$15) but we have to order online. If I ever went to the USA, I would buy so much. It's like when youtubers talk about high end palettes costing $40, we pay up to $100 (for naked palettes, too faced etc)
When I first saw the Royal & Langnickel brush, I took a double take! Kathleen, you do know that is a paintbrush lol. I have that brush in my paintbrush collection. (Just letting you know that it's okay to still use it, I was just making sure you knew) :)
It's common for many bloggers to use brushes from Michaels as make up brushes. Angela from Batalash uses a paint brush to do her liner. It's a great idea.
I was watching another channel where she has a line of brushes saying it would be great to do a video just like this. ❤️ So happy to have found this. Only thing I'd say is it would have been helpful to have listed them in the description. I just saw an update video where you actually did list. Tbh I'll probably be looking these up "in the store" so that list would make it soooo much easier. ❤️
YOU ARE SO CUTE. I love watching your videos they aren't filled with a bunch of talking about nothing and your make up choices are so much like mine I love it! You are very helpful and real you don't say something is good just because you are sponsored you are real about it. Thanks so much for helping me out more than you know and for being so honest. Stay beautiful!
KathleenLights you are seriosuly my favorite youtuber! SO down to earth and hilarious. You remind me of me and my bestfriend! You are inspiring me to start my own channel! Keeep doing what you do girl
KATHLEEN! Thank you for this video! I just purchased my first liquid foundation and I didn't want to spend soo much for the brush when I could get another foundation/product! (the brush was $33 WHAT) so thank you so much, I definitely trust your recommendations for the real technique brush set :) I cannot thank you enough!
For UK viewers: both real techniques and Eco tools are available at boots or superdrug. Morphe and elf are not available in England( I think there's an elf store in Wales) you can get both brands online but elf is like twice the price in the UK online store but there are always offers on free delivery and other stuff. They also don't have as much variety at all.
Could you use the stippling brush for foundations? I'm looking for a better way to apply my foundations and then come back with the sponges to blend it all in. I just feel like the sponges "soak" up my foundations?
Thank you so much for your honest reviews on these brushes. I recently picked up the Real techniques and used them like you suggest and oh dear! my foundation application has never been this flawless. Thank you thank you and thank you
TJ Maxx is surprisingly a great place to find beauty blender-type sponges! I believe the one I picked up a few months ago was $4! And it works great ;)
i'm surprised you like the elf brushes! i tried a face brush by them, i can't remember which one, & it broke instantly. at first i was like "i guess you get what you pay for" but then a friend said "no no i promise you just got a bad one, go try some other ones!" so i bought two brushes, that same one for the face, & an eye shadow brush. neither of them were broken but they shed soooo bad. the face brush was so bad that i got the brush hairs in my eyes & my eyes were badly irritated the whole rest of the day. maybe i did just get bad ones, or maybe they've changed them since then (this was a year ago) but i'm not sure if i'll ever try them again. such a shame because the prices are sooo affordable. thanks for the video though i'll definitely be checking out eco tools!
***** Help? I've been on the eye lips face website for hrs trying to decided which brushes to purchase for liquid foundation application,contour,concealer,eeyeshadow and the water line
Ria Takagi Wow really? I've had my e.l.f. brushes for over 3 years and none have ever even shed one hair, they're my most used brushes actually. My friend who is extremely rough on her brushes doesn't have any issues with the e.l.f. ones either.
Ria Takagi I got the $1 ones with the white handle and instantly hated them. But if you get e.l.f. studio $3 (black handle, the ones she showed) they are soooo much better. The studio brushes are great and I've been using them for a year now -Lauren
this was thee best & informative review on drugstore brushes. I just bought the Elf flawless comcealer & complexion brush & the ecotools tapered blush brush. Cant wait to try them! THANK YOU!
Ecotools flawless face brush set, its 5 brushes with like an airbrush finish are the bomb. I'm obsessed; I reach for those always over all my higher end brushes.
I really appreciate this video. It's a really helpful guide to buying inexpensive makeup brushes on a budget. I'm totally going to check out each of these brushes mentioned in this video. Also you look beautiful girlfriend!
+CRistiano Siete better with liquid imo. if the brush bristles are packed tightly and are dense, they are most suited for liquid foundation. for powder you might wanna go with a round powder brush because those have less dense brush hairs, which won't accidentally pick up too much powder and make your face look too powdered up. hope this makes sense :)
In the U.S.Real Techniques brushes sell at some Kohl's stores, too. Maybe not all, but two of the ones near me do. Unfortunately they don't sell at most of my local Wal-Marts, but I have seen them at other Wal-Marts. I really love the whole collection of Real Techniques brushes (I use the core collection and eye set every day). I would like to try the Morpe brushes.
Awesome thank you. I have one i just didn't wanna keep spending that on a "Cheapy" knockoff . I was thinking on just spending a little more to get the beauty blender
If you only knew that you inspire me a looooot. Though I don't know about applying these stuff but yeah, I just sit here and watch all of your vids since last week. Ghaaad you're amazing! Iloveyou Kathleen. :)
i have every single face brush you talked about thats so crazyyy ! i was like yes! ohh i love that one for this too! i love watching your videos i always take your recommendations thank you kathleeeennn😊
I enjoyed your video. I have some of the eco brushes but I'm still learning how to actually apply make-up. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I love that you added how hard it was to talk about the last 3 brushes. So real!! And not fake at all. Sometimes I feel like some peoples bloopers are over done and planned out. Your bloopers are always realistic and awesome. Thanks for the brush recommendations, time to shop!
Haha thank you!!!!

wow, you look gorgeous! Some of my favorite brushes ever are affordable from Drugstore! I agree, Real Techniques brushes are AMAZING!! I do love Target Up & Up brushes, They are really soft and great quality for the price!
I actually haven't tried the up and up brand!! But after one of your recent videos, I was intrigued!
The up & up brushes are bomb also Sonia kashuk , my favvvv
Up and Up brushes are great for the price! You will like them Kathleen :)
I love how you still do drugstore product videos! Your so awesome you truly inspire me to start a UA-cam channel. I ab-solutly love doing make up! Keep doing you girl
Yahh! Finally met someone who agrees that the real techniques contour brush is amazing for under eye concealer!!!
Yesssss
I love it too!!!
I literally hated eyeshadow and eyeliner for so long because of my love for lipstick and bold lips, but after watching your tutorials and seeing how you can make non dramatic eyes actually work, I got some elf eyeshadow products you suggested and i am so excited to try your looks for the holidays! I just need to trade some brushes for the ones you suggested in this video.
Could you do a tutorial on how you wash your brushes and what you use and how often you do wash them?
She did
+saso ragab yeah I posted that two weeks ago guy. I got the notification.
to wash my brushes i use pink Zote soap that you can buy for under $1. it works amazingly and i only have to rub the brush through once!
currently looking for different youtube gurus to love, (off of the mainstream jaclyn hill/carli bybel) and i have been loving every single video of yours lately!!

This was exactly what I was looking for! A lot of other youtubers have been recommending high end brushes, which is totally cool, but as a beginner I wanted to experiment with different types and not go into debt!
updated drugstore brushes video? 😊
PLEASEEE
PLEASE
She did one about 4 months ago
Please
Really Happy to see a Drugstore Brushes video, I see soooo many drugstore makeup videos (don't get me wrong I love them) but I'm a huge drugstore fan and I have been looking for my perfect set of brushes! So thanks for this!
Real technique packs are almost $50 in australia and morphe shipping is insane..
*cries*
Khali Chapman 😳😳😳
Nizhoni Yazzie It's so sad, so many american youtubers go on about cheap drugstore stuff and our drugstore prices start at like $15 for good stuff :(
Why don't you try any European beauty websites? They have fairly low shipping rates, most of them ship to Australia and the prices are, for example only 2$~ higher than the U.S. companies websites. Plus all of them are retailers, so you can find multiple brands and some of them offer free shipping over a certain sum. I'd personally recommend beautybay, feelunique and lookfantastic, my orders have always gone amazingly, and their customer support is great!
wrathofadarkjedi Thanks that's a good idea, I'll check em out :)
All of the brushes together are fifty dollars
You are my absolute favorite beauty UA-cam guru! I listen to all of your advice and so far, with brushes, brands, and makeup products, you haven't steered me wrong! Please never stop what you're doing, you are so helpful!
I LOVE The way you say concealer !!!
I thought i was the only one 😂❤️
I thought i was the only one 😂❤️
How do I say it?!?!?! Lol I thought I said it like everyone else lol
You just have a strong accent to it.
I noticed that too!! It's so cute "kuhn-see-ler" hahah
8 years ago and this video still rocks. classic timeless Kathleenlights💕
Your lipstick was like booom...I couldn't take my eyes from your lips!!
Hahah thanks ;)
KathleenLights what is the lipstick your wearing and colour ? its stunning!
Lori x i saw her say in another comment it's suedeberry by limecrime 😊
It's such a beautiful color!!
***** right?! 😱💜
I just discovered your channel and though I follow TONS of beauty gurus, you are honestly my favorite! You make tutorials that are actually easy to follow, I feel like I can really recreate the look! Thank you for all your makeup advice and reviews! I have a wish list going! :)
I love Ecotools brushes so much
I just have to say that you're videos are the best! Like seriously, I looove that you do the drug store/cheaper priced make ups and brushes! ❤
Real techniques brushes are around $30 each in New Zealand (the sponge is $20). Morphe face brushes are $20+. Elf is around $10-$15 depending on the brush. EcoTools are the cheapest ($5-$15) but we have to order online. If I ever went to the USA, I would buy so much. It's like when youtubers talk about high end palettes costing $40, we pay up to $100 (for naked palettes, too faced etc)
I paid $90 for my Tartelette palette and $60 for the Morphe 35T. Tfw you can't even afford 'affordable' brushes :/
this I why I buy brushes of iherb because everything is so expensive here
You are only allowed a certain amount of purchases back into your own country, and it's less than you think.
I love watching your video, Kathleen! And I love the fact that you listed stuff you're using and all the products you recommended; it's super helpful.
Flawless as always..*sigh* I can never be tired of watching your videos!
Thank you!
She is very right about those brushes. Coastal Scent brushes are great too. I bought some of them and in my own opinion, they are good for the price.
When I first saw the Royal & Langnickel brush, I took a double take! Kathleen, you do know that is a paintbrush lol. I have that brush in my paintbrush collection. (Just letting you know that it's okay to still use it, I was just making sure you knew) :)
Lol yes! Haha I know. I got it at michaels in the paint brush section :)
It's common for many bloggers to use brushes from Michaels as make up brushes. Angela from Batalash uses a paint brush to do her liner. It's a great idea.
Jessaleigh LaMaster Yea it's really cool, I would have never thought of using one though lol.
The original makeup brushes were all paint brushes that were cut by mua to help with application.
I was watching another channel where she has a line of brushes saying it would be great to do a video just like this. ❤️ So happy to have found this.
Only thing I'd say is it would have been helpful to have listed them in the description. I just saw an update video where you actually did list. Tbh I'll probably be looking these up "in the store" so that list would make it soooo much easier. ❤️
Am I the only one who thought that her eyes looked really doll like in this video. In a good way of course.
Yeah she is also wearing false eyelashes
+LivyRoseable BB cream is always a great and lights foundation, mascara, lipgloss, and eyebrows of course :)
Ya same
You are such a role model girl, I can tell that you really think about the things you buy
is there a video on your eye make up its so pretty if there isn't please make one !!!
YOU ARE SO CUTE. I love watching your videos they aren't filled with a bunch of talking about nothing and your make up choices are so much like mine I love it! You are very helpful and real you don't say something is good just because you are sponsored you are real about it. Thanks so much for helping me out more than you know and for being so honest.
Stay beautiful!
Omg I'm cracking up at your bloopers lol you're too funny girl!
Hahah. The struggle
KathleenLights you are seriosuly my favorite youtuber! SO down to earth and hilarious. You remind me of me and my bestfriend! You are inspiring me to start my own channel! Keeep doing what you do girl
Wow it’s been four years 😱❤️ Thank you for your dedication and hard work!
LMFAO I FREAKING CAN'T WITH THE LAST BLOOPER LOL!!!! YOU ARE SO CUTE OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!!
Love how your description box is so detailed like with links but also where you can find the brushes. Love you videos👌🏻❤️
zoeva brushes are amazing and affordable too. pretty much have real techniques and morphe prices!
KATHLEEN! Thank you for this video! I just purchased my first liquid foundation and I didn't want to spend soo much for the brush when I could get another foundation/product! (the brush was $33 WHAT) so thank you so much, I definitely trust your recommendations for the real technique brush set :) I cannot thank you enough!
If anyone's from the UK, try the w7 brushes. They're so good I love them more than my real technique ones
Yess same
I don't like these brushes, everytime I do liquid foundation with them, the black hairs fall out and stick to my face.
Thank you for this video, very instructive. I am in my 50s and have never looked too much into this mesmerizing world of makeup.
For UK viewers: both real techniques and Eco tools are available at boots or superdrug. Morphe and elf are not available in England( I think there's an elf store in Wales) you can get both brands online but elf is like twice the price in the UK online store but there are always offers on free delivery and other stuff. They also don't have as much variety at all.
They have ELF in Tk Max in Ireland, maybe check there?
+Fiona W Ireland is quite far :)
+Fiona W from where I live at least
+A Ru haha I mention as in usually whatever we get ye have 2! And 45mins on a plane for makeup.....I'd so do It!
Thank you! This helped!
Kathleen! I immediately went and bought the Real Technique Core Collection! Thank you for reviewing these! Love the vids girl!
Could you use the stippling brush for foundations? I'm looking for a better way to apply my foundations and then come back with the sponges to blend it all in. I just feel like the sponges "soak" up my foundations?
Leah Stacey yes you can use a stippling brush for foundation you just have to tap your foundation on our fave and the buff it in

Thank you so much! ray green
Leah Stacey yeah it is just that you will definately probably need to go back in with a sponge because it might be streaky
I figured. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your honest reviews on these brushes. I recently picked up the Real techniques and used them like you suggest and oh dear! my foundation application has never been this flawless. Thank you thank you and thank you
LOVE you !!!!! i literally squealed when i saw you uploaded =D your my favourite and your so down to earth and stunning xxxxx
Thank you so much!!!!!
your one of the few people who writes what the brush is in the bottom corner THANK YOU FOR THAT, subbed because of it.
Can you do a makeup tutorial on your look?
Yes! Xoox
KathleenLights
yay, thanks :-) you look all JLo bronzed and beautiful and I know you love that ;-)
yes to tutorial on this look!
that red lipstick contrasts with your green eyes and makes them pop 😍 beautiful.
TJ Maxx is surprisingly a great place to find beauty blender-type sponges! I believe the one I picked up a few months ago was $4! And it works great ;)
Lmao, in the UK it's called TK Maxx so I was confused at first when I saw TJ😂😂😂
Girl! You are the only beauty guru that I can relate to! Thank you for making amazing videos and being so raw and real! 😘xo
i'm surprised you like the elf brushes! i tried a face brush by them, i can't remember which one, & it broke instantly. at first i was like "i guess you get what you pay for" but then a friend said "no no i promise you just got a bad one, go try some other ones!" so i bought two brushes, that same one for the face, & an eye shadow brush. neither of them were broken but they shed soooo bad. the face brush was so bad that i got the brush hairs in my eyes & my eyes were badly irritated the whole rest of the day. maybe i did just get bad ones, or maybe they've changed them since then (this was a year ago) but i'm not sure if i'll ever try them again. such a shame because the prices are sooo affordable. thanks for the video though i'll definitely be checking out eco tools!
Did you get the $1 ones?
***** Help? I've been on the eye lips face website for hrs trying to decided which brushes to purchase for liquid foundation application,contour,concealer,eeyeshadow and the water line
Ria Takagi Wow really? I've had my e.l.f. brushes for over 3 years and none have ever even shed one hair, they're my most used brushes actually. My friend who is extremely rough on her brushes doesn't have any issues with the e.l.f. ones either.
A couple years ago I got the $1 face brushes and they shed like crazy and smelled horrible.. Gross
Ria Takagi I got the $1 ones with the white handle and instantly hated them. But if you get e.l.f. studio $3 (black handle, the ones she showed) they are soooo much better. The studio brushes are great and I've been using them for a year now -Lauren
this was thee best & informative review on drugstore brushes. I just bought the Elf flawless comcealer & complexion brush & the ecotools tapered blush brush. Cant wait to try them! THANK YOU!
have u ever tried zoeva brushes? they are awesome too!
No! I've heard so many good things
I loved this video, and I was cracking up at the end 😂😂😂😂 LYSM 💕
Just bought my real technique brushes!! I'm in love ❤️😍❤️..that contour brush is heaven!!!
The royal and langnickel brush is a paintbrush and the size of the bristles is 10 mm😘
Lucy M. Scholma isn't that a makeup brush company?
oh gosh maybe I wouldn't know I just thought it was a paintbrush at the time😂😂😂
I agree... Love real techniques brushes. I love the bloops at the end.
You look so pretty!
Thank you!
Maryam Hempton agreed
Ecotools flawless face brush set, its 5 brushes with like an airbrush finish are the bomb. I'm obsessed; I reach for those always over all my higher end brushes.
You discovered morphe in 2014 now 2016 you have an eyeshadow palette with them 😩😭👌🏾🙌🏾
I really appreciate this video. It's a really helpful guide to buying inexpensive makeup brushes on a budget. I'm totally going to check out each of these brushes mentioned in this video. Also you look beautiful girlfriend!
is the buffing brush good with liquid foundation or just powder mineral?
Its works.great with both :)
+CRistiano Siete better with liquid imo. if the brush bristles are packed tightly and are dense, they are most suited for liquid foundation. for powder you might wanna go with a round powder brush because those have less dense brush hairs, which won't accidentally pick up too much powder and make your face look too powdered up. hope this makes sense :)
FANTASTIC review on makeup brushes-you are a PRO!
Where have you been all my life?
Lol ikr
In the U.S.Real Techniques brushes sell at some Kohl's stores, too. Maybe not all, but two of the ones near me do. Unfortunately they don't sell at most of my local Wal-Marts, but I have seen them at other Wal-Marts. I really love the whole collection of Real Techniques brushes (I use the core collection and eye set every day). I would like to try the Morpe brushes.
In Australia the real technique sponge is $16.. :/
Use the iHerb.com for the Real Techniques line, so cheap.
Awesome thank you. I have one i just didn't wanna keep spending that on a "Cheapy" knockoff . I was thinking on just spending a little more to get the beauty blender
Caitlin Chidgey in NZ the sponge is $20!!
That sucks !! ://
In the nedetherlands is it €9 thats arount 10.50 dollar
If you only knew that you inspire me a looooot. Though I don't know about applying these stuff but yeah, I just sit here and watch all of your vids since last week. Ghaaad you're amazing! Iloveyou Kathleen. :)
I've never understood how people put on foundation with a brush! It never works well on my
It always makes mine streaky
I never had that problem until recently.. Or maybe I never noticed it. :/ but it makes it streaky and uneven. I'd rather use a cosmetic sponge.
Me too! Plus it takes too long and doesn't look as amazing as it's hyped to. I prefer makeup wedge sponges.
Instead of rubbing it on, try patting it into your skin.. Sometimes rubbing can leave streaks! (:
Shannon Fitzgerald thanks for the tip! I've been using sponges but really wanna get use out of my brush. I always thought it was just the foundation
i have every single face brush you talked about thats so crazyyy ! i was like yes! ohh i love that one for this too! i love watching your videos i always take your recommendations thank you kathleeeennn😊
I searched for this I was like yes found some videos omg it's Kathleen even better 😂👌🏼💜

I enjoyed your video. I have some of the eco brushes but I'm still learning how to actually apply make-up. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I got my sponge for $3 at Walgreens
