Quick quiz: Are you ending up with more brush bristles on your face than powder? Are the misshapen bristles leaving you with streaks? Are they all scratchy and poke-y? If you answered yes to any to these questions, it's time to bite the bullet and buy some new brushes, babe (and replace your hairbrush while you're at it). Makeup brushes may all look the same, but a good brush can make or break your look.

Don't worry though, you don't have to spend a fortune to get some quality brushes. Here we'll break down the basic brushes you need and some great (and popular) options for each.
