Tools:
So most of the brushes I use are just some random no-name stuff I got about 2-3 years ago when I was first starting out. I took the liberty of referencing which MAC brushes they're similar to/you could use instead. I'm not incredibly familiar with the brushes or their sizes so bear with me.

1. MAC 187
2. Powder brush, similar to MAC 129 or 136
3. Small blush brush, maybe similar to MAC 109?
4. Angled brush, similar to MAC 168
5. Small e/s brush, similar to MAC 242
6. Medium/large sized e/s brush, similar to MAC 252, 249
7. Flat liner brush, similar to MAC 212
8. MAC 217
9. Crease brush, similar to MAC 249, 242, 272
10. Spoolie, MAC 204
11. Angled shader, similar to MAC 263, 208
12. Eyelash curler
13. Petri dish
