The smaller size of this stippling brush means it's perfect for reaching tighter, more precise areas (think: around your eyes and nose). Technique aside, I also love that it's cased in a super-pretty rose gold color that'll look good on any makeup vanity.

At $3, this drugstore stippling brush is much cheaper than the other options on this list, but don't get it twisted—it still does an excellent job at stippling everything from liquid foundation to cream contour. Pro tip: Starting with a small amount of product will give you more control (you can always add more if you need it).

The coolest thing about this stippling brush—besides the fact that it helps you create streak-free foundation and blush looks with ease, ofc—is that it's made with recycled materials and renewable bamboo. Bonus: The bristles are super soft on this one, and it's especially great for subtle, no-makeup makeup vibes.
