The Beauty Range: The Affordable Makeup Brushes You Need

Mar 25, 2022

Makeup brushes come in three flavors: drugstore, beauty counter, and you want how much money for that?!  So when you find a well-made, drugstore-priced brush, you tell people.  All the people.

I found this Sonia Kashuk brush set because I needed a foundation brush while traveling in a city that has no mall, no department stores, and Target is basically the only place to buy beauty products.

The brushes are high-quality, with soft nylon fibers and sturdy handles.  I’ve washed mine several times without any measurable bristle loss.  And on a scale of 1-to-10, they’re a solid 8.5, as good as Sigma brushes for much much less.  I mean the whole set is $40.

Don’t need all these brushes?  You can buy any brush separately.  I highly recommend the flat-top concealer brush.

    Hey Abra, a few years ago you recommended a Sonia Kashuk for Target hairbrush that I bought, and it was AMAZING! Like a Mason Pearson dupe for 9.99. I bought several at the time and have gone through them, but I’m on my last one. Sadly, I can’t find anymore. Do you have any suggestions for something similar? It’s been the best brush ever!

    Question (this isn’t meant to come off as confrontational – I’m learning and trying to determine what’s best 🙂 – you mentioned using the beauty blender yesterday, but today you suggest a foundation brush – do you have a preference or one that works better? Trying to teach myself to apply makeup after WFH.

      With the heavier foundation, I prefer to stipple the foundation on with a blender. When I wear lighter foundation, which I still do on days when a full face feels like too much, I like a brush. But this is a great foundation brush, and the concealer brush is money.

    Great recommendation, thank you. Love that the brushes are available individually.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
