Budget Beauty Tuesday: Go Green with Eco Tools

As a makeup artist, I have invested in high quality brushes over the years. Some of my first brushes I bought at art supply stores, then chiseled and cut them in to the ideal shapes.  Over the years companies that cater to makeup artists took notice and now there is brush for every single thing you can think about doing with makeup.  Liner brushes, crease brushes, blending brushes, brow brushes, powder brushes, blush brushes, fluff brushes, fan brushes, kabuki brushes, foundation brushes, concealer brushes….And then there are all the types of hair — squirrel, goat, sable, pony and synthetic.

Synthetic brushes are preferred for creamier products such as foundation and concealer.  But they have become favorites of those who are against animal cruelty as well. By chance one day I picked up a foundation brush in Walgreens by EcoTools for $7.99,  and it worked just as well as ones I had paid $30 and up for.  So I have since that time checked out other brushes by Eco Tools, and I love them.  Here’s the scoop on their brushes:

I have used these brushes on myself and clients (I have clients who insist on 100% green products) and am completely satisfied with their performance.
