The 5 Best Powder Brushes for Your Makeup Kit

In the past year, many of us have embraced the art of minimalistic beauty, relying on beauty sponges or our fingertips to apply makeup. However, nothing achieves a beautiful finish quite like a high-quality makeup brush. Just think about it—do you think celebrity makeup artists create that “no makeup” makeup with their hands? That is why we found the best five powder brushes that you need to add to your cart right away.

Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer & Blusher Brush

Joining the list of icons from the UK brand Charlotte Tilbury is the Bronzer & Blusher Brush. Thanks to its round-headed top, you can easily achieve a sun-kissed glow with any of your powder products. Plus, the handle makes the brush easy to hold and impossible to lose. Seriously—the design prevents it from rolling onto the floor mid-makeup session. The brush is priced at $40.

CHANEL LES PINCEAUX DE CHANEL: Precision Powder Brush N°107

If precision is what you seek, Chanel has the perfect brush for you. The Precision Powder Brush N°107 has a tapered shape to contour, and with synthetic bristles, bacteria and shedding are the least of your worries. The luxury brush retails for $60 but is made to last.

Dior Backstage Powder Brush n°14

The Dior Backstage Powder Brush n°14 has the desired density for a powder brush, promising complete control. You need only one sweep to achieve a flawless application. It’s the perfect companion for Dior’s gorgeous blushes and bronzers. The miracle brush is priced at $60.

KEVYN AUCOIN Blush & Powder Brush

Kevyn Aucoin is known for luxurious, high-quality products that, once you try, you can’t live without them. The Blush & Powder Brush is no exception. It is made with natural fibers, guaranteeing a flawless and smooth application. For $75, you get what you pay for, so expect to keep this brush in your collection forever.

Laura Mercier Finishing Brush

Many fail to incorporate a good duo fiber brush into their routine, so the Finishing Brush from Laura Mercier might be just what your face makeup needs. Duo fiber brushes work exceptionally well with powders or the tinted moisturizers and cream products that have been trending lately. The Finishing Brush uses a combination of long and short bristles to seamlessly buff out your face makeup so you can achieve that airbrushed look. It retails for $46.

Now, you should be armed with only the best powder brushes to achieve either subtle or perfectly sculpted looks. We wish you happy shopping and, of course, happy blending.
