“An artist is only as good as his tools,” said someone, somewhere, but sometimes those tools cost a pretty penny that can’t be expended by every self-proclaimed cosmetic connoisseur. It’s easy to get lost amidst the sea of synthetic hairs and shiny packaging, and Cliché here to squash the misconception that spending a fortune on makeup brushes guarantees flawless quality. There are a variety of brushes on the market, but you don’t have to break the bank in order to achieve flawless application!

EcoTools is an eco-friendly brand that is just as passionate about the quality of their tools as they are about protecting the environment.

Their tools are sold separately, or packaged in convenient sets based on purpose-specific needs, catering to every kind of application necessity under the technicolor cosmetic sun.

Real Techniques is a line designed by YouTube beauty guru duo Samantha and Nic Chapman (known as ‘pixiwoo’ on YouTube). The brushes are created with precise, synthetic bristles that offer a clean, effortless application; there are several kits in the Real Techniques line, making it possible to build up a full collection of brushes without burning a hole in your wallet.
