I’m not sure if they have if in England, but Bare Minerals (Bare Escentuals) is an amazing company and their brushes are amazing

There are several steps for selecting a make up brush

Select the right brush for the task at hand.
Use a natural bristle hair brush for the application of powdery makeup products, such as powder, blush and eyeshadow.
Use a synthetic bristle brush for wet makeup application, such as creams, lipstick and foundation.
Avoid brushes with blunt edges. Brushes with soft, dome-shaped heads work the best for application of makeup.
Purchase a concealer brush. This is a trick of the trade because you are able to use it to ensure accurate application of the makeup product precisely where you want it applied.
Test for durability before you buy. Natural bristle brushes will easily lose the bristles with use. You can try to avoid this by ensuring that when you purchase the brush, it is strong to begin with. This means taking the tug test – pull gently on the brush in the store. If there is any evidence of hairs coming out, try a different brand.
Take good care of your makeup brushes. Keep them clean and dust-free. Store away from bathroom products and preferably in dust-proof locations such as a container or a bathroom cabinet. Gently wipe down makeup build-up regularly from your makeup brushes. You can use water for synthetic brushes or simply wipe with a tissue for natural bristle brushes.

and also
The bigger and fluffier the makeup brush, the lighter its touch when applying makeup. Think of a blush or a powder brush and you will know immediately what this means.

Go to sephora.com, they have a ton of sets. A good set should cost you around 60-70 bucks, but a good brush set can either make or break how well your make up goes on. Not sure if they have sephora’s in London, but if they do go in and ask for a recommended brush set, they are always very helpful

Hi there

I work for a UK Company called VIE at home (formerly Virgin Vie At Home) we have a full set of Make Up Brushes you can select from here http://shop.vieathome.com/product_list.aspx?p=christmas-gifts-for-her&level1Id=643&level2Id=1077

Personally I think the Kabuki Brush is fab http://shop.vieathome.com/product.aspx?p=make-up-brushes-sponges-kabuki-foundation-brush&id=15098&q=1&level1Id=643&level2Id=1077 (there’s some customer reviews you can read about this online too) – this can be used with blushers or to apply Mineral foundation. It’s really soft and feels very expensive! There’s also a lovely liquid foundation brush – http://shop.vieathome.com/product.aspx?p=make-up-brushes-sponges-deluxe-foundation-brush&id=41398&q=1&level1Id=643&level2Id=1077 – again this is really soft and applys foundation perfectly!

We’ve also got a retractable lip brush for lipstick http://shop.vieathome.com/product.aspx?p=make-up-brushes-sponges-retractable-lip-brush&id=14944&q=1&level1Id=643&level2Id=1077 and a dual purpose Eyeshadow Blender & Applicator 0 http://shop.vieathome.com/product.aspx?p=make-up-brushes-sponges-eyeshadow-blender-applicator&id=794&q=1&level1Id=643&level2Id=1077 – these would all make a good little make up kit.

AND the good thing is – if your girlfriend doesn’t like them for any reason, you can return them for free and we’ll give you your money back!

Hope this helps – you can order online at www.vieathome.com
