The tool that you use to apply your makeup is just as important as the powders, liquids, and creams themselves. That's why when we find a makeup brush we like, we stick to it.

On the list ahead, we've rounded up our favorite brushes of all time — ones that have earned that title not only for their ability to seamlessly apply our beauty products but also for their ultrasoft bristles, not-so-hefty price tags, and durability. Some are new to the market, while others have been our editors' go-tos for years. Whether it's a buffing foundation brush that gives skin an airbrushed finish, a dense eye shadow brush that packs on the pigment, or a travel-friendly kabuki brush you'll want to bring with you everywhere, we've included them all.

Check out our editors' favorite makeup brushes ahead.
