I Found the Best Amazon Makeup Brushes With the Lowest Cost Per Wear
I think I speak for everyone when I say that I want to get the absolute most I possibly can out of my makeup brushes—especially if said brushes are a bit on the pricey side. But something I've learned after being steeped in the beauty world for so long now is that you can find high-quality items like foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and brushes for an incredibly affordable price. And some of this makeup won't even clog your pores—a welcomed bonus for anyone with acne-prone skin.
Although you wouldn't normally expect a retailer like Amazon to be a treasure trove of goodies when it comes to makeup brushes, think again. I felt immediately overwhelmed by the number of lush brush sets (and single brushes, for that matter) that were both extremely cost-effective with equally as incredible reviews. They truly have something for everyone, and I've sifted through to find the best of the best. If you're in the market for a new set or just want a single brush or two to add to your collection, keep scrolling below for all the impressive finds.
Hear me out on this one. Zoeva brushes always come highly recommended by celebrity makeup artists for their next-level quality. Naturally, an entire set of these babies might be a bit of a splurge, but you're still getting some serious bang for your buck considering they deliver a flawless finish every single time.
I'm an EcoTools gal through and through. I always reach for the brand's foundation brush in the morning, so naturally, if an entire set of its brushes are up for grabs on Amazon, I'll be the first to add it to my cart. This kit includes all the daytime basics and clocks in at just $10.
As I said, Bdellium brushes are most coveted among makeup artists, so this complete 15-piece set seems like a makeup bag must-have. Obviously, this is more for the makeup aficionados of the world rather than the casual brush user, but if that sounds like you, these brushes are definitely worth the price tag.
