How many makeup brushes do I need to get started?

Most Beginners only need 4–5 makeup brushes to create an everyday makeup look. Large 10–20 piece brush sets can feel like a great value, but they can also make learning each brush’s purpose more overwhelming. Starting with a few quality, versatile brushes is often easier, less expensive, and produces better results.

Choosing your first brushes

BEGINNER FRIENDLY
EASY TO USE
