The Best Makeup Brushes for Crossdressers
Our own transformation makeup artists agree on one thing: makeup is the hardest part of your male to female transformation and requires patience, practice, study and the right products. Remember, for male skin you need to think about beard cover and foundation that works well on male skin too; light coverage foundations for example are too thin and can crack easily or simply won’t provide enough coverage in the first place. Alongside the correct cosmetics, we’ve found that having the correct tools, and knowing how to use each one is another important part of the transformation process.
It is no secret that designer makeup brush sets can hold a heavy price tag and many are individually packaged and priced too. It can easily become a bit of a minefield if you’re not entirely sure what you need in the first place. The good news is, you don’t have to spend a small fortune on makeup brushes. It is possible to find cheap quality makeup brushes that feel amazing on your skin and can help you achieve a fantastic femme look. Below, we’ve highlighted some of our more popular makeup brush sets which we know crossdressers love…
All the essentials – basic makeup brush set
We use really great, affordable brands that manufacture quality brush sets! Our “Essential Makeup Brush Set” comes with five brushes that are perfect for beginners. (From left to right) The first brush in this set is used for applying any powder to the face (blush, bronzer, setting powder, etc.). It’s great for blending out and applying a lot of product at once. The second brush in this set is your typical eyeshadow brush. These are typically used to apply eyeshadow directly to the middle of your eyelid. The third brush is great for blending and applying eyeshadow directly to the creases of your eyelids. This brush will blend out any harsh lines with ease. The fourth brush can be used on both your lashes and eyebrows for combing. Your last brush in this set is also for applying eyeshadow to your eyelid. However, this brush is great for packing on a lot of product to your lid. It’s great for a more dramatic look.
Feeling flawless – professional quality makeup brush set
The next makeup brush set we provide is a more extensive set for someone more comfortable and experienced with makeup and applying it. However, don’t be put off if you are a beginner, it is still great for anyone just starting out with makeup as you have more brushes to play with. This quality makeup brush set comes with twelve durable brushes that can create any look imaginable. (From left to right) The first two brushes are absolutely amazing for applying any powder products to your face as their soft bristles are ideal for blending product so that melts into the skin. However, the second brush in this set is also great for applying powder products with precision. Think dashes of blusher that are perfectly blended, or cheeks which are contoured to perfection. The angled cut of the brush is what makes it easy to apply the product directly where you want it.
The next brush in this set is used to apply liquid foundation. The quality bristles on this brush are more tightly packed in together, so you can glide the product across your skin precisely where you want it. It’s still then soft enough to work the foundation into your face, so you’re left with an even complexion without brush strokes or patchy areas.
The next two are soft eyeshadow brushes, so you can use these to blend colors together, and the next two after that are perfect for blending product to your eyelid creases.
The next brush is designed to apply eyeshadow to your bottom eyelid. Sweep your chosen color just underneath the waterline and it really helps to make your eyes pop that bit more. It’s tighter packed bristles are there to help you to put the product where you want it and sweep it across the undereye. You can also use this makeup brush to blend out the product too, which is especially useful with darker colors for an impactful smokey-eye look.
The next one is a lipstick brush, perfect for precisely applying your favorite colors and shades – trust us when we say it’s much easier than using just the lipstick, plus you get better control over the amount of product you use.
The next two after that are for applying eyeliner precisely to your eyes. These are great for cat-eye looks as you can sweep a gel or liquid liner easily across your eyelid. They’re useful to have in your makeup bag as the angle on the brush is what makes application that much easier.
The last brush in this set is designed to tame unruly eyebrow hairs or neaten up your eyelashes. You can use this makeup brush to help create soap brows (similar to laminated brows but one you can do at home using soap!), or just brush the hairs in the right direction, which can also be useful to see where brows need to be plucked, or where product is best applied.
Quality makeup brushes don’t have to cost the earth

If you are just starting out with makeup as a crossdresser these sets are perfect for learning and growing with makeup.
