When looking for gifts this Christmas brush sets are a swish choice to make

- EMMA CRILLY BEAUTY

WHEN unsure what to get your loved one this Christmas, make-up brush sets are a godsend. From high end to drug store pricing, there is something to suit everyone’s budget. Your make-up applicatio­n is only as flawless as the tools you use.

Lots of women shy away from spending a huge amount on brushes, but the truth is you need the right tools to create a flawless finish, from blending your eyeshadow to creating seamless skin.

Brushes are so much better to use than fingers when it comes to applying foundation and concealer. They will evenly spread the make-up on your face and won’t deposit oil to your face like your fingers would.

When it comes to eyeshadow brushes, the shape and angles help target specific areas and create different eye make-up looks — from your blending brush to soften out any harsh lines to your eyeshadow brush that will deposit colour and pigment.

Nude by Nature has brought out a stunning brush collection for Christmas. The packaging is beautiful with rose gold handles. I’m a real sucker for anything rose gold. This make-up brush set is a perfect starter kit for anyone who wants to brush up on there skills. You also get a gorgeous faux leather bag that you can zip up and pop it in your handbag, perfect to take on holidays. The set is available at Priceline in Casuarina for only $39.95.
