The Best Makeup Brushes at Every Price Point

Whether you’re a drugstore makeup guru or a Sephora addict, you know that your tools can determine how your makeup looks as much as the products you’re using — and sometimes even more. The problem? No matter how you cut it, buying makeup brushes just isn’t as exciting as picking up a new product that you’ve had your eye on.

But to make sure you’re getting the absolute most out of the products you use, you need the right brushes to go with them. To help you blend, buff, and glow like a pro, we’ve rounded up our favorite makeup brushes at every price point. Whether you’re looking for something inexpensive that will do the job or for a brush that will feel like a treat when you use it every day, we’ve got you covered — no harsh lines or streaks in sight.
