A couple of months ago I bought a set of 12 makeup brushes- I must addmit I needed the blush brush and ignored the rest as they were intimidating. Later I decided to learn how to make maximum use of them and made a list of which brush you should use and when to use it.

Powder Brush- The long, domed and densely packed bristles evenly diffuse any type of powder foundation products, pick up and deposit blush to define, contour, and shade your cheeks. This brush allows you to fix your look with powder after you’ve applied foundation.
