The Best Drugstore Makeup Brush Sets

The Best Drugstore Makeup Brush Sets

Hi friends! If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m a total beauty girl. I love all beauty products, and one of the best deals I look for is affordable makeup brushes. I have had great luck finding makeup items and tools for less, while still finding quality products. Today I’m sharing my favorite drugstore makeup brush sets!

Subscribe to Always Meliss for the latest fashion tips, travel guides, exclusive discount codes and more! I’ve got you.

If you liked this post, check out my review on the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and my Beauty Empties!

The Best Drugstore Makeup Brush Sets

There’s two brands I’ve been using for years, who offer both affordable and high quality makeup brush sets: Eco Tools and Real Techniques. Both brands make high quality, super soft makeup brushes! I’ve used them for years, and they last. Both brands are cruelty free, which I love! I also found a beautiful makeup brush set from Tarte with an incredible $32 price point! You seriously cannot beat it. Below are the best drugstore makeup brush sets!

Here’s some affordable rose gold makeup brush sets.

What to Look For

When it comes to makeup brushes, it’s not about how much you spend, but about the quality of the product! Brands like Eco Tools and Real Techniques have figured out how to make cruelty free makeup brush sets that are super soft and uphold the same quality as an expensive brush. It’s great for aspiring makeup artists, because they don’t have to spend $1000 on a brush set! They can easily get high quality for less.

The Details

Here’s a few of my favorite affordable drugstore makeup brush sets, PLUS one from Tarte!

Real Techniques Everyday Essential Brush Set

This $19 brush set comes with almost everything you need for a fraction of the cost! Real Techniques makes cruelty free, well constructed makeup brushes that last forever! I have a set from 2 years ago that I use daily, and they’re still in amazing shape.

Set Includes:

RT 400 Blush – tapered, soft and fluffy bristles. Blend powder blush evenly for a smooth, natural look

Miracle Complexion Sponge – soft, flexible. Blend liquid and cream foundation into a luminous, dewy finish

RT 300 Deluxe Crease – short, dense bristles. layer and blend cream and powder eyeshadows evenly into eye crease

RT 402 Setting – soft and fluffy bristles. Dust on highlighting or setting powders precisely for natural looking illumination.

RT 200 Expert Face – firm bristles. buff liquid or cream foundation to a glowing, flawless finish

-Ulta

Eco Tools Define & Highlight Brush Duo

I’ve had this Eco Tools brush set for years and it’s only $5.99! You cannot beat the price. The bristles are insanely soft, they’re cruelty free, and easy to clean. They also fit in a makeup bag easily! I use one as a powder brush and the highlight one for bronzer. It’s my absolute favorite makeup brush set!

DUO INCLUDES:

Sculpt: Use the tapered bristles of the Define Brush to dust contour shade onto areas of the face you want to define or minimize such as hollows of cheekbones, jawline, or forehead. Apply by tracing the number “3” on both sides of your face. Start at the top of your forehead; sweep down and across the hollow of your cheeks, then dust across jawline.

Highlight: With the wide fanned bristles of the Highlight brush, gently sweep on highlighting powder to facial features you want to bring forward such as the apples of cheeks, center of forehead or bridge of nose.

-Ulta

Tarte Brush Set

I love Tarte! This brush set is only $35 and originally $139 if you buy the brushes separately. The set comes with all 5 brushes (eye, cheek & face brushes)! Here’s a few details from the Tarte site:

SET INCLUDES

complexion brush: dusts powder all over face

small cheek brush: precisely applies contour or blush to hollows of cheeks

loose powder brush: small, tapered brush sets undereye concealer or dusts highlighter onto cheekbones

double-ended shader & blending eyeshadow brush: blends shadow into the crease & packs pigment onto lid

double-ended pencil crease & liner brush: buffs shadow onto the lower lashline & lines top lashline

How long do you typically spend doing your makeup? How long do you typically spend doing your makeup? I’m an under 10 minutes gal, almost always - but there’s so many days where all I want is a quick and easy no makeup, makeup look that literally takes 2 minutes or less!

I picked up the @bareminerals complexion rescue tinted hydrating gel cream a few weeks ago and have been using it since! It’s the perfect product used alone (totally evens out my skin and gives my skin a stunning glow) or even mixed with your favorite foundation. Not to mention, the products I shared in this reel are all CLEAN!!

Here’s what I used:
👉🏼Complexion Rescue in shade 6
👉🏼Blonzer in Kiss of Pink
👉🏼Maximist Photo-Fiber Volumizing Mascara
👉🏼Smoothing Foundation Brush

All of these products are linked on my @shop.ltk and are available @sephora - Feel free to DM me for any links.
