The Ultimate Beauty Tool Kit

A Blush Brush
Not too short, not so long that it doesn't fit into your makeup bag. It should be fairly flat, rather than round and full, and not too large, because you want to be able to control where the blush is going.

A Flat, Fluffy Brush
If you like to use loose powder, you'll need a brush that is even bigger than your blush brush. If you prefer the pressed variety, choose a fluffy, velvet puff.

A Small Powder Brush
Straight-ended or slanted, for eye shading. It's also a great tool for filling in your eyebrows with shadow.

Tweezerman Slant Tweezers
It's the brand the makeup artists use.

Mirror
Once over forty, you can't live without a magnifying mirror: it's an essential for the baby boomer with failing eyesight. Once you get over the shock of seeing everything magnified, you can spot what you've missed, where you overdid it, how to blend, or where the powder got stuck in the wrinkle.
