Makeup is an art, and doing someone’s makeup or even your own is like painting on a human canvas, with one slight difference, and that is you use make up brushes for it, instead of paint brushes. While earlier any and all kinds of brushes could pass off, and be used as make up brushes, but not anymore, with leading beauticians and skin experts demanding only good quality makeup brushes be used for the sake of protecting the delicate skin of the face.

Hence, the market is now flooded with all kinds and qualities of makeup brushes, with almost all big cosmetic brands taking out their own lines and ranges of these make up brushes. As a direct result, today the importance and need of good quality makeup brushes cannot be overstated for doing flattering makeup.

This is because make up brushes are both, specifically and scientifically, designed to do complete justice to your face, highlight each of its features, and hide every one if its flaws. So there is no ‘one’ makeup brush you must have, as you need to have one set of make up brushes for highlighting your eyes alone, another set of makeup brushes for your cheeks, and yet another set of general makeup brushes for layering foundation, dusting blush and such.

However, recently a new trend seems to be catching on and that is airbrush makeup. Put simply, the USP of this kind of airbrush makeup is that it doesn’t need any make up brushes at all, as your makeup is literally painted or sprayed on you using a kind of spray or gun. Not only is this spray gun small, light and thin enough to fit in a small clutch purse, it is also very hygienic as no hands or brushes touch your face at all, but most importantly airbrush makeup promises you a flawless look that leaves you looking absolutely natural and radiating.

While airbrush makeup has clearly become popular in the glamour world, with all most all leading ladies of TV and Hollywood speaking in its favour, but it is far from being accepted and embraced by the millions of mothers, students and lady employees around the world, who prefer to invest their faith and money in a set of good old quality make up brushes.
