If your makeup bag is filled with cosmetics only, then it's not complete. And if you're still applying all different kinds of makeup with one brush (or, admit it, your fingers), your look will benefit from a beauty tool upgrade.
This 5-piece makeup brush set from Jouer Cosmetics is not only extremely well-made but also affordable. For under $40, you get luxuriously soft brushes that are compact enough for taking with you. Their gold and lucite handles are pretty and playful, and also look great on display. This set costs about as much as what you'd pay for just one brush from a high-end beauty brand, so it's perfect for anyone who's ready for a change, but not ready to pay too much for it.
What's great about makeup brushes is that they improve how your makeup goes on. You're not fully getting everything out of your cosmetic kit without them. The five brush shapes are each designed to achieve a certain sought-after result, whether you want to give yourself a smoky eye, fill in your brows or contour your cheekbones. There's only so much your fingers can do. Treat yourself to get a totally gorgeous, polished look with the help of this amazing brush set.
