Not only does the right set of makeup brushes allow you to easily apply your makeup, but it provides total precision. Many makeup artists prefer natural bristles because they tend to be extremely fluffy for giving an airbrushed finish and tend to grab pigment better, but synthetic brushes are a favorite when it comes to liquid and cream makeup application (there’s also the cruelty-free factor).
When it comes down to it, it’s all personal preference — and budget is something to consider as well. Keeping in mind a certain price range, no matter how low or high, you are bound to find a solid set of tools that will work for you and your makeup needs. Brush pricing is usually based on the material of the bristles and their size, but can go for upward of hundreds of dollars. Chances are, you won’t need an extravagant arsenal and a handful of everyday brushes will suffice. We’ve done some leg work and rounded up the best makeup brushes — from drugstore to professional grade — for every budget, and some even come in easy-to-use sets.
Budget Option
Our favorite part about this foolproof set — besides how inexpensive it is — is that each of the 12 brushes is labeled for its use, making it a perfect collection for a beginner. The range includes face and eye brushes and when you do the math, each brush comes out to a dollar. We can’t think of a better way to spend a buck.

Drugstore Favorite
Whether you want a couple brushes for your complexion or some to enhance your eye makeup, the SOHO Disney collection inspired by Jasmine, Ariel and Belle has something to fit your maquillage needs. Besides, who could resist a bit of nostalgia at such a great price point?

For a Growing Collection
If these are good enough for makeup master Rob Scheppy, then they’re good enough for us. The Brush iQ line is made with DuPont Natrafil filaments, which perform better than natural hair. The ultra soft filaments pick up and distribute product evenly for a seamless blending process.

Antibacterial
When it comes to basic professional-grade brushes, this small set from brush giant Bdellium Tools is a beauty-lover’s dream: It’s moderately priced, the brushes are full size and come in a roll-up pouch. The wooden-handled brushes are a mix of synthetic and natural hairs and are treated with an antibacterial agent to help guard against bacteria and mold.

Cruelty-Free
First, there’s the cute factor (the pink and gold accents on the brushes) and then there’s the fact that Too Faced uses cruelty-free, 100 percent “Teddy Bear Hair,” meaning synthetic fibers that happen to be the softest we’ve ever felt. The super girly brushes are lightweight without feeling flimsy or cheap and are ideal for low-maintenance, daily makeup application.

Contour Queen
If you’re looking for the perfect arsenal to help you apply your base, as well as contour and highlight better than a Kardashian, then look no further. This beauty blogger favorite has five professional-grade brushes that will apply a setting powder, cream blush or liquid foundation flawlessly. It’s also a great starter set for those looking for top-notch pro tools.

Luxurious and Beautiful
This editor-favorite range works just as amazingly as it looks. The trademarked CosmeFibres are engineered to have a tapered end to allow for a consistent application. Each of the patented brushes has an average of 3 to 10 times as many individual fibers as natural hair brushes and are uniquely shaped to easily and effectively pick up and deliver product. The cleaning system is also patented and is an antimicrobial-treated microfiber cloth with one million fibers per square inch, which works by “grabbing” and removing makeup and residue from the bristles without compromising their shape or adding wear and tear.

Breaking the Bank
The luxurious quality of these handmade brushes is out of this world — so much so that they’ve only been available in the U.S. since November of 2014 and they’re extremely hard to come across. They are made with natural hairs and are carefully constructed in a 60-step process in Kumano, Japan that is said to take an entire week. The silky-soft brushes are definitely an investment, but should absolutely last for years and years. After all, the process of making them is so rigorous, each hair that is deemed too rough for the skin is individually tweezed out of the finished product by a highly-skilled artisan. Yeah, we’re speechless, too.
