    VERY helpful! thank you for being honest! Alot of videos i see are just people trying to show off their super expensive high quality brushes which in reality you dont need! theres like only 7-10 brushes that you actually need! and in other videos theyre coming out with like a 32 piece set! like wtf man aint no body got time for that! Thank you so much this video rocks

    This video was very helpful. Not so much in the compare and contrast portion but the uses of each brush. I love makeup and I just bought myself my first brush set. However, there was too many brushes I didn't know the purpose for all of them. Now I do. Thank you.

    This is so helpful especially for a beginner like myself. Its kinda annoying that most makeup products are sold with the assumption that consumers already know exactly what they're doing but many people, such as myself, are just starting up and dont know what they're doing. Im sure this had helped so many others like me, thank you so much

    Thank you so much, that was by far the BEST make-up brush vid I've ever seen. I appreciate how you explained how each brush works, and your honest review on what brush was best.

    @rhondahigdon7368 8 років тому +1

    Thanks so much Marlena, I appreciate you taking the time to explain these brushes. I have several brushes, but they aren't getting the job done because I didn't realize that some needed to be soft and some stiff. Makes sense. Thanks again

    • @xxcheyxx12
      @xxcheyxx12 9 років тому +2

      If your trying to figure out which is which, look at the shape of the brush, how hard the bristles are, and the size. That should help. Some brushes have a very subtle difference. I had problems at first too

    I just got my first makeup brush kit, so this really helped! I've been using the brushes for whatever I want with not-so-good results, so it helps to hear the reasons to use soft and stiff brushes and the sizes and such. Thanks!

    I'm so glad I found this video. I'm so new at all this make up stuff. I don't know what each brush does and how to use them. Thank you for giving us a quick lesson. I just started collecting eyeshadow pallets but some of them don't come with brushes so I need to buy them separately. :)

  • @sparkletone1684
    @sparkletone1684 10 років тому

    Thank you SO MUCH! I'm not a makeup artist, but I would like to use makeup more often. I have a couple of brushes, but never knew if I was using them for the right thing. No one in my family wears makeup like that but me, so they wouldn't be able to help. I'm glad that I found this video. This was supremely helpful, and I'm going to look out for more of your videos :)

    Good morning. I'm watching, listening & learning more. Of the foundation brushes, Sedona Lace has a flat stipple brush similar to the Beauty Geek and it's the FB07 which I'm in love with. It came with the Vortex Set.

    This is by far and away the best makeup brush tutorial I've seen. I've watched many in the last few weeks too. Your's is honest, helpful, and filled with multi-use tips. i've already saved the website so i can purchase brushes. Wanted to say too, I love, love the Beauty Blender. I have two, and use 1 damp to stipple and 1 dry, to roll out any harsh blush/bronzer lines. the pointed end gets right under eye and around the nose. OMG, I sound like a commercial:)Anyway, THANK YOU!

    Oh my gosh. So helpful! Thank you!! I just got (very cheap! Not name brand) a 32 piece set from Amazon & they don't have the names printed on the brush, so this really helped me! (It's 32 pieces because they give you more then one of the same brush, which is so handy just incase one is too dirty!)
