These chic synthetic brushes mimic the cuticle of natural hair so you'll find yourself absent mindedly stroking your face with them.

My favourite thing however is that if you're a makeup newbie, each brush is clearly labelled with its exact purpose. So you never have to wonder which one is the foundation brush again.

Real Techniques Flawless Everyday Essentials contains four of the handiest makeup brushes around.

There's a rounded fluffy brush, which works a treat for powders, bronzers or blushers. A tiny precision brush, that'll make quick work of pin-point concealing, a small fluffy brush for highlighting or baking, and finally, a dome-shaped buffing brush, which works perfectly for blending out foundation.

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, there's also a Real Techniques blending sponge in the kit as well.

If you're obsessed with makeup artist Katie Jane Hughe's looks, you should know that these brushes are SO HER.

One of our all-time favourite makeup brush brands, MyKitCo was founded by MUA James Molloy and his partner, Alex Thompson.

They're incredibly well-crafted brushes, with weighted handles which make for a very satisfying experience - especially if you find yourself a little unsteady at times.

Each brush across the entire range (and within sets) is colour coded according to whether they were designed for pros or beginners (grey means suited to all, whereas blue indicates a specialised function).

With a quality level of far spennier brushes, Zoeva's essential set of six brushes, each with a 100% sustainably sourced wooden handle and soft vegan mono hair, really does cover your bases.

For face there's the best selling foundation buffer along with a highlight brush and a blush/contour, and for eyes you get the brand's three bestselling eye brushes, crease definer, smokey shader and wing liner. All fit snuggly into a slimline case making them perfect for taking with you on trips or day to day.

Sustainability warriors, this one goes out to you. This set of four So Eco brushes are made from highly sustainable or bio-degradable materials. Plus, they're vegan and cruelty-free.

If you are a Liverpool native you will undoubtedly already know about Peaches makeup, but if you are a Southerner like me, you might have only just discovered them.

These vegan brushes use luxe synthetic fibres so they are super soft and completely none scratchy.

The shapes of these brushes are unique and make foundation application a dream.

Purse-friendly beauty brand Lottie London is an option if you're seeking an affordable starting point when building out a kit.

The pretty pink and coral brushes come with matte, soft-touch handles and ultra-soft synthetic bristles. Amazing quality at a mega affordable price- that's what we like to see.
