The Best Oval Makeup Brushes At Every Price Point

Silk Naturals Oval Brush ($5)

With tightly packed bristles, this makeup brush will reduce fallout from powders while easily creating a natural-looking level of coverage on your skin.

Missha Artistool Foundation Brush #101 ($14)

If your makeup tends to cake around your nose or in the hollows under your eyes, this makeup brush is for you. The triangle-shaped head allows you to smooth foundation into those smaller crevices that larger foundation brushes can’t always reach.

Makeup Revolution Precision Pro Brush Oval ($15)

Use this brush to blend foundation, contour your bronzer or apply finishing powder in one, quick and perfect application process. Even better: The rose gold coloring will look pretty on your vanity as well.

PUR Skin-Perfecting Foundation Brush ($28)

This synthetic fiber brush is dense enough to apply your makeup without streaking but still has enough give that it feels soft upon your face. Add a few drops of foundation directly to the brush before applying to the skin or use it to smooth on lotion pre-makeup application (make sure the brush is makeup-free first!). As a bonus, the brush head is big enough to use on the body as well, making it a good, multipurpose tool.

Cailyn Cosmetics O! Wow Brush ($32)

Unlike other brushes, this one has a tilted handle that’s shaped to fit in your hand perfectly, allowing you to glide the brush along your face in a way that feels like a more natural movement. 

MAC Cosmetics Oval 6 Brush ($42)

Much like MAC’s other makeup brushes, this one is top-notch for a flawless foundation application. While it’s a bit more expensive than the other dupes we’ve found, it’s certainly a good option for those who aren’t quite ready to snag an Artis brush but still want the same stellar results.

Artis Oval Makeup Brushes ($62)

As the gold standard of makeup brushes (the technology used is even patented), Artis is a must-have for many famous makeup artists globally. Made exclusively with the brand’s own, specially engineered CosmeFibre, makeup will blend seamlessly into the contours of the skin during use.
