Simply Essential brushes, $15.99 and $26.99
Priced by size, these soft, synthetic brushes helpfully have the purpose printed on the handle. Many makeup brands do artist-designed brushes particularly well, but if you're just beginning to build your collection, find what you use the most by experimenting, one brush at a time, with the likes of these. Look after them and they will last, but remember, good as these look standing upright to show off the rose gold trim, if you've just washed them do preserve the glue holding them together by lying them flat to dry.
