Elf has a foundation brush I swear by.

They are very good brushes, but keep in mind they’re made with animal hair. Beautiful application and great price. However the downfall of all animal hair brushes is that they can be inconsistent on occasion because every animal is different. Of course I myself use morphe and I am pleased with them and I will repurchase. The sheer variety and shapes alone is incredible! Definitely perfect for people looking for quality at a great price!

Well for budget friendly brushes, Wet n’ Wild makes pretty good brushes. They’re about a dollar a piece and they’re all synthetic, cruelty free, and vegan if that’s a concern. The next price up would be morphe brushes, and they’ve got a huge selection so that you can choose what you’re going for in application. They make my favorite reusable sponges too! They run from about a dollar to sixteen per brush, and they have sets for eyes or face or both. They are cruelty free, but some of the brushes are animal hair and therefore aren’t vegan. There’s also IT brushes that are very luxurious, and they’re cruelty free. Too faced teddy bear hair brushes are cruelty free and vegan and they’re super soft, but they do come in a set. For foundations it really depends on your skin type, but satin finishes are middle of the road and easy to make work for any type unless they’re on the extreme send of the spectrum. Too faced born this way, Mac Pro long wear, naked skin by urban decay, and lancome teint idole are all amazing satin finishes.
