If there’s one secret every professional makeup artist knows, it’s that if you want perfectly applied makeup, you need the right tools for the job.
But like everything else in your makeup kit, you want your brushes to be cruelty free and animal friendly.
Gone are the days when cruelty free makeup brushes were scratchy, nasty things. These days they’re all about luxe synthetic materials that are soft on your face and sleek in their application.
Whether you’re starting your makeup kit, or looking to add a few star players, here are our top picks that’ll have you contoured, blushed and bronzed like nobodies business…
