If there's one thing you should change about your makeup application, it is most likely that you need to blend more. Very few of us blend our makeup properly (and I'm sure I'm included in that group most days). When I talk to makeup artists about makeup mistakes "regular" people make, blending is almost always the answer. I have to tell them I want answers that are not "blend more."
There are some pretty amazing brushes and tools out there to blend your makeup! After talking to makeup artists, bloggers and looking around myself, these are my favorites! I've included 10 in the graphic, but note that there are often similar products available at other price points, so I've listed a lot of those below as well. Happy Blending!

The MAC 217 brush is my absolute favorite for blending out the crease, I own about 4 but would be totally happy having 4 more! LOL
