I use macs LE brush 161
MAC 134
I use MAC 188
Well if I use bronzer for contouring than MAC 168 and if I use it all over than Sephora’s Bronzer brush.
an angled blush brush
I use either the MAC 109 or the NARS Yachiyo brush
Bobbi Brown face blender
150
Mac 109 for contouring
Also, I received a very dark (but beautiful) bronzer which was impossible to use
One of the gurus adviced to use a stippling brush for a light coverage and it really works with dusting just a little bit of bronzer over your face)
i use mac angle brush 168
I also use MAC’s 168 brush as I mostly use a bronzer with minimal shimmer for contouring.
I use SEPHORA COLLECTION Professionnel Contour Blush/Bronzer Brush #43,
MAC 165
I only have 1 bronzer, which is Too Faced Aqua Bunny so I use the fan brush included in it. But I’m looking for a better one tho :))
ELF flat top studio powder brush
MAC 134
I use a Bare Escentuals all over face brush that came in a set. It sat it my drawer useless one day til I figured out what it was for. It’s probably one of the best bronzer brushes I had ever had. Previously, I was using a MAC 134. I still sometimes go back to it if I want to be less precise.
I also use a contouring brush.
Depends what look im going for, either a ss129 or ss150 if i want just a all over healthy color. My fave is the ELF bronzer that comes as a duo! So cheap and a great alternative to NARS Laguna!
What is the 161 brush?
I use EcoTools – 1229 Bronzer Brush, the kabuki style lets me build up the colour.
I don’t use bronzer all over my face. I just contour my cheeks with Laguna using the 109.
Angled contour brush.
Shu Uemura 18r brush.
For contouring I use a drugstore brush similar to to MAC 165, and for overall warmth I use the ELF complexion brush, which is basically a paddle brush.
MAC 138…that is, when I bother with bronzer haha. Too lazy!
Bare Escentuals Full Flawless Face Brush. It’s a big full brush that blends easily.
Bobbi Brown’s bronzer brush.
