    VERY helpful! thank you for being honest! Alot of videos i see are just people trying to show off their super expensive high quality brushes which in reality you dont need! theres like only 7-10 brushes that you actually need! and in other videos theyre coming out with like a 32 piece set! like wtf man aint no body got time for that! Thank you so much this video rocks

    This is so helpful especially for a beginner like myself. Its kinda annoying that most makeup products are sold with the assumption that consumers already know exactly what they're doing but many people, such as myself, are just starting up and dont know what they're doing. Im sure this had helped so many others like me, thank you so much

  • @OsmiiGoGrr
    @OsmiiGoGrr 8 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    This video was very helpful. Not so much in the compare and contrast portion but the uses of each brush. I love makeup and I just bought myself my first brush set. However, there was too many brushes I didn't know the purpose for all of them. Now I do. Thank you.

    ALL MY BRUSHES LOOK THE SAME TO ME!

    • @xxcheyxx12
      @xxcheyxx12 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If your trying to figure out which is which, look at the shape of the brush, how hard the bristles are, and the size. That should help. Some brushes have a very subtle difference. I had problems at first too

    Thank you so much, that was by far the BEST make-up brush vid I've ever seen. I appreciate how you explained how each brush works, and your honest review on what brush was best.

  • @meganeccles8637
    @meganeccles8637 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just got my first makeup brush kit, so this really helped! I've been using the brushes for whatever I want with not-so-good results, so it helps to hear the reasons to use soft and stiff brushes and the sizes and such. Thanks!

    Omg Marlena, this video cannot have come in a better time. I was just about to head over to MAC and purchase some brushes for the first time and the only brush I've seen you swear by is the 217, now I know what brushes would be best for me. Thank you, thank you!

    Great tips as usual. That makes sense to that the stiffer the brush the more color it packs on. Thank you.

    @Mcfannie 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is by far and away the best makeup brush tutorial I've seen. I've watched many in the last few weeks too. Your's is honest, helpful, and filled with multi-use tips. i've already saved the website so i can purchase brushes. Wanted to say too, I love, love the Beauty Blender. I have two, and use 1 damp to stipple and 1 dry, to roll out any harsh blush/bronzer lines. the pointed end gets right under eye and around the nose. OMG, I sound like a commercial:)Anyway, THANK YOU!

No one in my family wears makeup like that but me, so they wouldn't be able to help. I'm glad that I found this video. This was supremely helpful, and I'm going to look out for more of your videos :)

    Thank you so much! this video helped me to know what many of my eyebrushes where because many did not have labels and It was hard for me to get a perfect eye without using the correct utensils perse. I labeled my brushes and put small notes underneath to know what they are used for so that they will help me bring out that perfect eye in the future! :)
