Here Are The Best Makeup Brushes On The Market, According To Mikayla Nogueira

As a professional makeup artist and TikToker, Mikayla Nogueira revealed that she has to "film [sponsored content] in advance because they have to be shown to the client" (via Allure). Luckily, Nogueira still makes time for organic content to guide followers toward worthwhile products. In Nogueira's TikTok video titled, "What makeup brushes are actually worth your money?" she does just that. 

If you're looking to ball on a budget, check out Peaches and Cream. Nogueira called this brand "the best of the best" for high-quality brushes to tackle any medium. Peaches and Cream is also made from synthetic fibers which makes them vegan (via Fabulous Makeup). Speaking of cruelty free, Nogueira recommended the affordable Colourpop brand for its a "massive selection" of face and eye brushes. Finally, for another "ridiculously affordable" option, Nogueira called on the long-lasting Juno & Co. brushes.

For those willing to splurge, opt for professional-grade Anastasia Beverly Hills or the classic Sigma brushes. These are more luxurious (a.k.a more expensive) brush brands, but the quality is evident. Nogueira called these brushes "an investment," so if you're without disposable income, try out Sigma's lower-cost Practk line. As far as specific brush mediums, Nogueira suggested using P.Louise eye shadow brushes and drugstore brand Real Techniques for cut creases. Real Techniques is also the first brush set Nogueira ever used! Follow in her footsteps and you'll be a wicked beauty guru in no time.
