If I had to pick only 10 makeup brushes, these are the ones that I would pick to create any makeup look. In reality, I own more than just these brushes, but these are definitely myRide and Die. The ones that I take with me when I travel.

I have accumulated many makeup brushes over the last two decades. Some have been with me since a long time. At the moment I rarely buy new brushes for myself. Only the ones that get so haggard from daily use like my foundation brush. Some of the brands that I like are Real Technique, It Cosmetics, Jacks Beauty Line and Zoeva.

Many makeup brushes have an official name, like foundation, blush, brows, concealer and so on. The great thing is that you can use them for many different tasks than the ones they got appointed to.

1.Mypowder andfoundation brush is from Real Techniques. It is officially a powder brush, but I use it for foundation as well ;) I start off with applying the foundation with my hands, then I use this brush to distribute the make up and last step is to use a makeup sponge. I love the one from Linda Hallberg Cosmetics.

2. Concealer brush: Zoeva 146 Concealer Perfector

This is perfect for applying concealer super quick with a full coverage effect. I love this brush!

3. Powder Blush Brush: Heavenly Luxe It Cosmetics

I received this brush at an It Cosmetics event many years ago. It has SMOONSTYLE engraved on it :) Great to apply blush on the apples of your cheeks. Super soft vegan brush.

4. Cream BlushBrush: Real Technique 206 (mine was a limited edition color)

Real Techniques is super affordable and great quality. I love this for my cream blush application as well as liquid highlighter. It has the perfect size.

5. Eyeshadow Blending Brush: Zoeva 228 ( 2 times in the photo)

I own many of these brushes, because they are the best for getting a super blended look. Just slap on that eyeshadow, do the windshieldwiper motion and you are good to go :)

6. Angled Brush: Inglot6 (yellow) and Louise Young6.1

The Inglot brush has the right 'sharpness' and density to perfect my brows. The Louise Young brush is super old, but still works like a charm. I love angled brushes for my brows, but also to smudge liner or apply eyeshadow as a liner with it. Angled brushes are great multi-use brushes and I have many of them ;)

7. Little Crease Brush: Louise Young

This I love to use to apply powder eyeshadow underneath my eyes.

8. Small Powder Brush: Jacks Beauty Line nr. 9

I love to use this to apply powder on smaller areas, like underneath my eyes.

9. Fan Brush: MAC COSMETICS

This might not have as many hairs left compared to when I just bought the brush, but it still works perfect for applying powder highlighter. Unfortunately, it still sheds hair whenever I clean it.

10. Pointy Brush: Ici Paris XL

From all the makeup brushes that I own, this is one of the oldest one besides the MAC fan brush. It was gifted to me by a dear friend that is also a big makup lover. I love to use this to apply my inner corner highlight.

What are your favorite makeup brush brands? Let me know in the comments!

Starting the Best of Beauty 2021 - Body with my favourite shower/bath products. I LOVE the L'Occitane Amande series. Last year, I discovered that this line also has a bath milk! Normally, I don't like to smell like food, but for almonds I will make a exception ;) For the shower oil, I always buy the refill and I also have a tiny little travel bottle that I can refill for whenever I am traveling. The scrub has small almond particles so no micro plastic will be going down the drain.

See any thing familiar? Yes! I am still using theSoft Oil Balea body cream, after all those years! I still love it till today! It is just perfect! Only little downside is that you can leave little oil/grease stains on light clothing and tables etc ;) I love to use this to give my arms and legs some glow. It smells divine and works wonders on my dry skin.

The Kneip Winter Edition shower gel is so soft and warm. It smells like a warm blanket feels haha! I am not a vanilla fan, but this is very subtle and not overly sweet. I have also used the shower foam from this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore.

Weleda Skin Food 'Body Butter'. Oliver loves to use Weleda Skin Food for his face and I also love to use the lip oil. The face cream is a bit too rich for me. This body butter is perfect for winter, when my legs are dry like the sahara....

Last is the face! I have discovered La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra cream. My cheeks and under eye have been so dry and this does the trick. There is no perfume in it, I love the packaging. I accidentally bought the night cream, when I was in a hurry and found out later at home that I bought the wrong one haha!

Never forget sunscreen! The best anti ageing product ;) I wear this every day! Listen to me; your skin will thank you ;) I like to use theNivea Q10 spf 50. I love the scent and it doesn't break me out. There is one that is more targeted for my skin (combination) that has a matte finish, but it doesn't sit nice on the skin.

Last isVichy Normaderm Anti Age. My friend, who is a makeup artist, recommended this to me for break outs. I have been using it religiously ;) This is the best out of the whole line. I also use a scrub from this line that is really good. I forgot to put it in the picture haha ;)

The very last product that I also forgot to take a photo of is the Eubos hand cream. I also still repurchase this many years after creating my first blog post showing the hand cream.

What skin/body products do you swear by and have repurchased time after time?
