Gould's also obsessed with MAC's 217 Blending brush ($48). Highly sought after makeup artist Kath Gould is also a My Kit Co fan, favouring the 'My Detailing Smudge' 1.13 brush ($25), which she says is perfect for soft, blown out liner and shape around the eyes. "It's also great for creating a more dramatic eye look and I love that is works well with both powder and cream formula," says Jones. "For people on the go, this large, soft, full-rounded Blending Shadow brush is an essential one stop shop for applying a quick but effective all over wash of colour on the eyelid.
"What I love about the super soft Flawless Face brush is that it's cleverly tapered to fit the contours of the face, whether applying blush, powder, buffing product or even applying foundation - which means it's four brushes in one!" Two of Jones' My Kit Co faves are the 'My Flawless Face' 0.22 ($35) and 'My Blending Shadow' 1.15 ($32) brushes. "Having been a makeup artist for over 20 years and using zillion of brushes, hands down my favourite (and value for money) brushes are the 'MyKitCo' brush range, designed by talented British makeup artist James Molloy. "I find most women don't want (or need) hundreds of brushes to apply their own makeup. "Brushes can be confusing and it is so difficult to choose the right ones that are also easy to use," says Gabrielle Jones, director at The Makeup School and one of our most renowned film and television makeup artists.

Of course, I'm no makeup artist, so I've also checked in with three top Kiwi makeup artists, for whom brushes are essential tools of the trade, to see what their weapons of choice are. This tiny but mighty brush is a multi-tasking marvel designed for precision application of creams, gels and liquids - but I also for blending liner into the lash line and cleaning up lip lines. My other secret weapon is Kevyn Aucoin's The Concealer Brush ($55 at Mecca). If swapping between colour and base product, just hit the bristles with an instant brush cleaner spray. Hold the brush at the thicker top part when you want to apply a bit more pressure, or back it up to the end for lighter, more controlled work. I use it to apply my mineral powder foundation, for blush and (on the odd occasion I use) bronzer and even to lightly blend in concealer. The Rae Morris Jishaku #1 Deluxe Kabuki brush ($117 at Mecca) pretty much covers off everything you need to do to your face.
