hi bf! do you know any drugstore contour brushes? :)

• e.l.f. angled blush brush works well for the entire face ($4)

• e.l.f. tapered blending brush is for more precise contour or a smaller face ($3)

• e.l.f. contour brush (comparable to a MAC 163) for a dense powder or non-powder contour ($6)

• Real Techniques sculpting brush available on its own for $10 or in a set with two other brushes (fan brush and setting brush) for $20

Have any of you tried the new wet and wild brushes?? I kind of want to buy them but I'm not sure

Yes, they’re amazing quality! I would recommend them to beginners who want the basics or anyone who doesn’t want to spend too much on brushes. I plan on getting them all because they’re so awesome.

do you think it's safe to buy brushes off of amazon? there's a set i really want but i'm a lil scared to buy it

Definitely look into the reviews of the product and research the brand or seller outside of Amazon to be safe. I’ve bought from the brand Party Queen on Amazon for a set of brushes before and I had no problems! They sent me a brush egg for free and it came with a nice (almost like a zippered clutch) bag for the brushes, I recommend them tbh. I think they’re worth it for the cost which isn’t too expensive either!

My eyeshadow never comes on as dark as I see it in other people's pics and I was wondering if it's my brushes? I have ecotools brushes so not super cheap and not super nice. My question is, if I spend the money to buy nicer brushes, will it noticeably improve my eyeshadow application? Or is there something else I can do to make it go on darker?

If your brushes noticeably don’t pick up product well, then yes you could invest in nicer ones (nicer doesn’t always have to mean more expensive) but what could help your shadows go on darker is an eyeshadow base. I use the white eyeshadow base from nyx and it saves my life for less pigmented shadows.
