Soft

I washed my makeup brushes yesterday.
When I used them today they were so soft that it was amazing. Soft enough that I felt inspired to take a picture of them. I had forgotten what a difference it made to use a very, very, clean, clean brush.
I've had these for years but they're still top-notch and the only way to really enjoy putting on makeup, for me.
The two red ones are from Smashbox and I can recommend Smashbox makeup brushes with all my heart.
The tiny fat one is the Kabuki brush from Bare Escentuals. It's a tremendous pleasure to use anything from their company.
