Yes these are my 10 personal, essential brushes I could not live without. And yes, I had to decorate them with my kitchen table cloth and a border. Below you can find out more information about them.
I find that 80% of women I do consultations with do not have the ideal set up of brushes to work with. 10 may sound like alot, but keep in mind, they do not have to be expensive brushes. If taken care of properly, they can last an average of 20 years. If 10 is too many for you, I will narrow it down to 5 below.
From left to right:
Blush brush - the shape of this brush allows me to place product down perfectly on the apple of the cheek
Contour brush - the shape of this brush allows to create a contour under your cheek bone, to enhance or bring out your shape (

Powder brush - Yes my powder brush is this small. I only powder my face where needed. I do not use a large one because if I do, I will basically be ruining all the work put into prepping, and placing my foundation. If I used the correct moisturizer, toner, primer etc, there will be no need to powder everything. Usually just under the eye, or T-Zone area.
Blending brush - That is what I call it. My small half synthetic, half hair brush allows for blending the foundation around the nose area, hair line in the most perfect way. I use my fingers to put on and blend the foundation where needed, then finish it off by blending with this brush.
Oval eyeshadow brush - #1 in my book. This brush does everything- holds the right amount of product, gets in the crease, highlights the brow bone. An all in 1 brush.
Small round eyeshadow brush - perfect for getting in the corners of the eye to brighten up, add shimmer, you name it!
Flat lip brush - I like this shape for really feeling grounded while applying lipstick. It travels around the lip line really nicely.
Eyebrow spoolie - To brush those brows!
Gel liner brush - My new best friend. Its shape and firmness make it easy enough for anyone to put gel eyeliner on. Trust me. This is how you get this specific brush : (

Last but certainly not least,
Small angled brush - great for correcting eyebrows, adding definition on top of the lid and under the eye
If you would prefer to have only half this amount, I recommend:
