Looking for make-up brushes? Then you've come to the right place. I'll introduce you to five of my favourite brands that are an excellent first port of call, especially for make-up beginners.

When I discovered my love for make-up, I ignorantly ignored the topic of brushes. My focus was on the cosmetics themselves, not the tools, which I dismissed as an annoying and unnecessary expense. But I soon realised that fancy eyeshadows, bronzers and the like don't really come into their own if I don't apply them correctly. The small applicators supplied turned out to be useless for the most part.

Since then, I have gained a lot of experience with different brands and treasure every single brush in my drawer. I can recommend the following five brands - especially if you are completely new to the brush cosmos. Quick info beforehand: You won't find all brands in our range.

Basic, affordable and useful: Ebelin and essence from the drugstore

The dm own brand Ebelin is a good first port of call. It has a manageable number of individually purchasable, inexpensive models for the complexion and eyes on sale. So you don't buy unnecessary brushes just because they are included in the set.

For the playful: Spectrum Collections and Real Techniques

Definitely an investment: Mykitco

Mykitco always has major sales throughout the year that you can take advantage of. Especially if you're after one of the high-priced sets.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
