Drugstore makeup brushes are a particularly tricky corner of the high-street beauty world to navigate. While the prices may be considerably lower than those of their luxe counterparts, there is always the risk that you're buying into a bit of a false economy. We've all experienced the frustration of going to apply blusher to find giant clumps have fallen out of the brush head or getting halfway through a smoky eye to find that the hairs of our eye shadow blending brush aren't picking up the full pigment pelt we can see in the palette. The worst part is that it's pretty much unavoidable to mitigate this risk. So often makeup brushes are packaged in closed containers in store, so you can't even try on the back of your hand before you buy.
To get it right, you need someone you can trust to tell you what's up—and hello, we're right here. We've compiled our roundup of the best drugstore makeup brushes that have just as much going for them as higher-priced options. Keep scrolling to see our recommendations, and may your makeup be expertly blended forever more. Real Techniques may be an affordable brand, but you'd be hard-pushed to find any discernible differences between these brushes and more high-end ones.
In fact, you often spot them in the kit bags of some of the world's greatest makeup artists. The fibres are all sythentic (and thus cruelty-free), but each and every brush head has been specifically engineered to fit the contours of the area of the face it is intended for, and the hairs are all at the optimum distance to collect and drop off the perfect amount of product.
Key buy: We suggest you start with the Real Techniques (£22), which has brushes suitable for applying base, as well as contour, blush and bronzer. But the hero brush has to be Real Techniques (£12), which blends eye shadow like nothing else.
