Is it just us or are makeup brushes one of the last things you think about purchasing when you’re in haul-mode. At the same time, if our tools aren’t in great shape, we know. All it takes is one time of picking bristles off your face, having your brush break in half, or noticing your foundation looks streaky AH to know that it’s time to get your brush game in check. Here are cruelty-free and vegan makeup brushes to get those selfies looking as flawless as your gorgeous personality.

Sephora Collection Multitasker Brush 06 (Dhs80, Sephora) is that one brush that does it all. Whether you’re applying liquid, powder, or cream products, this brush blends like an absolute dream. Also, according to Sephora’s website, “the paper of the packaging and the wood of the handle are made from responsibly managed forests. Also, the ink on the packaging is plant-based.” This makeup brush also makes a great gift for your friend or sister.

Rare Beauty’s Liquid Touch Concealer Brush (Dhs90, Sephora) is a angled cruelty-free brush with pointed tip for pro-coverage. This brush is designed to mimic your finger tips to allow you to blend in your concealer quickly. This is the perfect brush for anyone who is always running a little bit late (trust us, no judgement here). It gives streak-free coverage and is amazing to use in all those hard to reach areas such as the inner eyes, the sides of the nose, and the corners of the mouth. 

Sigma’s E44 Firm Blender Brush (Dhs85, Ounass) is extremely well-made (speaking from experience). It’s the perfect brush for more intense and complicated eyeshadow lewks. It’s great for applying and blending colour on your crease. The vegan and cruelty-free brush bristles are made from synthetic antimicrobial fibres. We love the craftsmanship of Sigma brushes. They’re built to last.

Real Technique’s Slide Brush (Dhs79, Lifestyle) is a vegan and cruelty-free blush brush that lets you customise your coverage. This brush has a 3-in-1 click system for sheer, medium, and full coverage. We love using the sheer coverage for daytime and giving it an extra click (or two) after sunset.

This last brush is too cute to not include. Think of it as vegan and cruelty-free to apply body makeup. Same same but different, amirite? Fenty Beauty’s Baby ‘Buki Brush 165 (Dhs95, Sephora) has a lot of personality packed into a travel-friendly brush. This angled brush is fab for diffusing liquid or powder bronzer and shimmer into your skin to complete you look. Use this brush and your favorite shimmer for some serious glow next time you go for mocktails on the Palm.
