Tools of the Trade: Brushes and Sponges
Truly good quality brushes will last years, if not a lifetime. If you decide to investigate quality brushes check for loose bristles and overall craftsmanship and don't hesitate to return a brush if you feel it is of inferior quality.

An excellent professional makeup application begins with your tools and good quality brushes and sponges are one of the best investments you can make.

Makeup sponges come as wedges in pre-cut blocks of circles squares or loose in the bag. They usually are made of latex and come pre-cut and disposable. Wedges, thin circle and square sponges (usually found in compacts) are used for applying foundation and those little eye shadow sponge tips can pile on smudged shadow easily. I feel most comfortable using the better quality bigger wedges that come pre-cut in square blocks and tear off for use.
A good quality brush is made from various animal hairs and synthetics depending on its use. Like their art supply store counterparts, they come in flat, round or tapered edges and each has its own function.
Yes, you can go to the art supply store and usually find comparable brushes, sometimes priced lower, and sometimes more expensive then the cosmetic brush lines. However, you might have to saw off the extra long handles and sand down the rough edges. If you want to have several synthetic lip brushes, the art supply store has some good deals. Get a flat brush about 1/8 inch wide with either a squared or tapered edge.
When shopping for brushes, give them the "tug test". Pull a little on the hairs and see how much comes out. New brushes will shed a little, however if many hairs come out, the brush may not have been manufactured well.
Quality brushes are made from dyed and un-dyed goat, sable, sable substitute, fine blue squirrel, pony, and synthetic. Look for cruelty free where no animal has been destroyed or maimed. The brush hairs are hand placed and graduated rather than sliced. And each is specialized as to their function. Most hair comes from France and Japan. Handles are black lacquer, matte or wood and come in long or short travel handles. Most companies sell cases to store them in.
If you have a limited budget, start with three or four basic brushes, such as blush, eyeliner, shadow and concealer. Then add on from there. Image Consulting sell kits for less then purchasing separately.

Brushes can range in price from $18 (eyeliner brush) - $60 (powder brush) in the better quality range. Once you have used good brushes, you will know the difference and never go back to a cheap brush.
