Q&A: How Many Brushes Do You Use On A Daily Basis?

Despite I have enough brushes to last ten lifetimes, I usually only use 1-2 brushes on myself on a daily basis (we’re talking the 5-minute-makeup-look… not for evenings or parties), and those brushes are usually for setting powder (if I use it) and blush/bronzer.  I usually only wear one eyeshadow on my eyelid for a daily basis (if any) and that I usually just apply with a finger!

What about you? Leave your answers in the comments below, and maybe even suggest another Q&A question for next week!

    6 as I usually get away with only use one eyeshadow brush to apply my eyeshadow, one for liner, one for mascara, a blush/contour brush, a foundation brush and a knock off powder brush.

    Days I don’t wear foundation I usually don’t do liner as well so it down to two brushes one for eyeshadow and on for maraca.

    I use 7 or 8 brushes for a basic look. Foundation/stippling, large powder, small powder/blush, flat eyeshadow, blending, pencil brush, angle brush and if I need it a lash comb, which some might not consider an actual brush but more of a tool.

    For full, all out makeup I use a lot more, 15-20 brushes. But then I am a MUA and I have multiples of the same brush so if I want to use one brush for multiple shades or products I can grab a spare instead of cleaning it off – if I just cleaned between shades I’d probably only use 10 or so

    I usually use 2 or 3, and they are all for my eye shadows. I love to play up the eyes.

    I use 2 most days. That’s one for eyeshadow and one for blush/bronzer.

  • http://fantasia.sky-song.org/ Stephanie

    I use about 5 daily–I know it’s too much! Btw, your pictures are amazing!!!

  • http://mylifeasnickijay.com/ JaNelle

    I use between 5 and 6 daily.. but on really minimal days, it’s only 2

  • Bria

    On glam up days 6 —brush for undereye concealer, brush for foundation, brush to set my Foundation, brush to set my concealer, blush brush, 2 eyeshadow brushes. On minimal days — only 4 of the aformentioned brushes. :)

  • Elenamurillo66

    Usually 2 for face, 2 for eyes, 1 for brows, 1 for liner, sometimes 1 for lips… So 7.

  • Oshin SR

    Usually 5-6.

  • melodyy

    Er.. I think about 10 max? If I don’t do eyes, then like 4. If I do my eyes then probably about 8 or 9, 10 if I’m really layering on something!

  • Valeottantadue

    when I have only 5 minute to doing my make up, I use usually 1-2 brushes…just for eyeliner..for the rest of the face I use my finger, foundation-cream blush-cream eyeshadow

  • jem83

    Usually 1 for face and 2 for eyes. So 3 :)

  • http://twitter.com/xJenEvie Jen McClelland

    usually one for foundation, one for powder, one for blush, one for bronzer, and about 3-4 on my eyes. wow, about 7-8 haha, i never realized i use that much!

  • Mandy

    Just 2, one for blush and one for powder.

  • BooBooNinja

    I use 3-4: eyebrow brush/spoolie, blush brush, sometimes my large fan brush for loose powder, and sometimes a fluffy brush for a brow highlight.

  • http://twitter.com/prettyblissful prettyblissful

    4; eyeliner, powder, blush, and concealer brushes.

  • Karen Lee

    3-4

  • Kat

    actually only 2 at the moment – one for my powder and one for my eyeshadow. the rest is done with my fingers ^^

  • Virussa

    I think I use at least 3 or 4, one for the face powder and the others for the eyes.

  • zeet

    5! Brushes are a wonderful thing. :)

  • AngelitaLaEscapia

    3 for everyday type looks- foundation brush (the fluffy kind that sells as #55 in Sephora’s professional line, I really can’t live without), concealer brush and blush. When I try and get fancy, I’d add 4-5 more…bronzer brush, stippling brush for shimmer powder, and two or three different eyeshadow brushes.

  • BooBooNinja

    Jessica, this is a good question. I wear little makeup so I was surprised at how many brushes I use!

  • lehhhbabe

    I use probably around 5-6 makeup brushes. Depending on the look.sometimes I only wear eyeliner on the eyes and just use face brushes.
