Flawless makeup application starts with having the right set of tools but choosing the right brushes can be tricky, not to mention expensive. Sonia Kashuk is one of my go-to brands for high-quality makeup brushes for less. She’s outdone herself with her new limited-edition Art of Makeup Ten-Piece Brush Set ($35.99, available at Target stores nationwide and Target.com). Created in collaboration with Linda Mason (a makeup/visual artist), the brushes are just as luxe as they are functional, with hot pink ombrè bristles and gold end caps. The set includes a brush for every foreseeable makeup need, including applying blush, powder, foundation, and concealer, as well as smudging and blending eyeshadow.
