The ULTA-mate guide to It Cosmetics Brush Sets!

ulta 7

Do you have new makeup brushes on your holiday wish list? Or maybe a friend or family member does and you have no idea which one to pick from. I’ve been doing a ton of research to write this blog for the past few months. I know, I know. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it! Recently, It Cosmetics created a whole new collection of brushes exclusively for Ulta Beauty stores. You can see them all here! But whoa! There’s so many amazing makeup brush options out there that I know the choices make it even more overwhelming so i’m going to break it all down for you and share my personal picks for the best sets. In the past, I always recommended buying individual brushes because the mega 25 brush sets usually compromised quality for quantity and you’d only end up using 5 or 6 of the basic, essential brushes! These sets are small in quantity but don’t skimp in quality and they are the type of brushes you will need and use on a daily basis!

ulta it 41. Velvet Luxe Blurring Collection: $98 ($210 Value!) This is the “Bentley” of makeup brushes! It’s the ultimate in luxury and while it’s the priciest set that It Cosmetics offers it’s an amazing value for the high quality you are getting. Like all It Cosmetics brushes, this set is also Cruelty-Free 100% and made of top quality synthetic fibers. I love this set because it’s amazingly plush and soft and of course the makeup just applies so flawlessly. Seriously, nothing feels as amazing as these brushes! You get in this set all the necessary essentials: powder, foundation, angled sculpting (use for contouring, highlighting or blush/bronzer), flat paddle eye shadow brush & crease brush.

ulta it 22. Airbrush Masters 6pc Advanced Brush Set: $65 ($150 Value!) This is the Mercedes Benz  “S Class” of brushes! It’s still such an amazingly luxe brush set that gives you a very quick and easy to apply and blend your makeup with a beautiful airbrushed finish. You won’t have to worry about seeing lines and edges like you will with other lower quality brushes. And the #1 thing I love about all It Cosmetics makeup brushes is that they do not shed like most every other brand out there! It’s my biggest pet peeve to pick off loose brush hairs off my clients or my own face! Very, very rarely will you get one or two but nothing like typical brushes! Even the mega expensive ones that cost more than this whole set! I love this set because it gives you just about everything you need to do your whole face! The only thing missing is your angled brow brush and a lip brush and you will have the basic essentials. You get in this set a Powder, Foundation, Blush, Crease, All Over Lid eye shadow brush & a Bent Eye Liner Brush (perfect if you use gel liners!).

3. Your Beautiful Basics Airbrush 101 Set: $58 ($130 Value!) This is still the Mercedes Benz of makeup brushes and a part of the Airbrush Line but maybe without all the bells and whistles 😉  This is a great intro into the luxury makeup brush world and gives you the very basics that everyone needs to start off with. If you don’t already have great brushes or need to start over with upgrading to better quality I would recommend starting here! In this set you get: Powder, Foundation (I personally prefer this fluffy round style vs. a flat paddle), Concealer (I also use for contouring and highlighting. It’s the perfect small size for precise application), Shadow for all over lid and smaller Crease to define the eye.

4. Your Face & Eye Essentials. Mini Travel Brush Set: $30 ($80 Value!) This is your compact brush set that you want to throw in your gym back, purse or if you are way less maintenance than me and this is all you need when you go on vacation 😉 The handles are mini compared to the full set but the brush heads are the same size. All of the above brush sets are full size like the individual brushes you would buy and are around 6-7″ in length while these mini travel size are 3-3.5″. You get the necessary basics: Powder (or you can use to buff out liquid or cream foundations too), Shadow, Crease, Smudger (to smoke out that liner!) and Angled Liner (or brow brush).

***Bonus Addition*** The final 2 It Cosmetics Brush Sets are NOT from Ultaulta it 5

5. Limited Edition Heavenly Luxe Set: $39.50 I included these final two brush sets because I get asked about them all the time! This is a great travel set that isn’t mini but about 1-1.5″ shorter than the full size. They are a great 6 piece brush set of essentials that i’ve been using and giving as gifts for the last 2 years. The final quantities are now only available on the It Cosmetics website and are an INCREDIBLE value. Plus these are the brushes that are blinged out on the bottom of each brush (except the double ended one). You get a Powder, Foundation, Concealer, Crease Blending, All Over Lid Shadow and a double ended brush/liner & brow groomer spoolie.

6. It Cosmetics Buki Brush 4pce Holiday Collection w/Box Exclusive to QVC: $43.64 This is a darn cute little chubby brush set. I love kabuki brushes in general especially if you prefer to use a powder foundation (loose or pressed). But…with that said. I think unless you are a super collector and already have it all, I would start with one of the brush sets above. Did I mention these are so dang cute though?! I don’t think this is an essential brush set if you are just starting a great makeup brush collection. I personally would only use the pointed one on the far right and maybe the powder one that is second from the left. The other two are just like bonus novelty brushes but probably not daily essentials. They certainly do make a beautifully presented gift! But if you don’t already have the right basic makeup brushes then this is NOT where you want to start. I would recommend putting the money towards a set that gives you more of the essential face and eye brushes 🙂

If you are dying for even more information on makeup brushes, I created a tutorial on the very basic essential brushes you should have in your collection. I purposely made this video non-brand specific for the most part. It’s more about learning about the particular size and shape of brush to understand what it is, what it does and why you need it!

Create what you wish existed in the world… and s Create what you wish existed in the world… and start with you! 

You’re not lost, confused or stuck if you find yourself in mid-life questioning just about everything from your business, love relationships, the quality of friendships, health, spirituality… every important area of being a human! 

Evaluate all of it. Ask yourself what do you NO longer want or will tolerate? 

What are you craving more of? Pause to think deeply about that so that you don’t continue to repeat patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you. 

I’m at the beginning stages of my NEXT “reinvention tour”. It was the focus for the Baja Mexico retreat I just got back from. 

I’ve reinvented myself before, it’s probably not my last and that’s a GREAT thing!

While there’s a ton of uncertainty right now, what I DO know is that I have more than enough acquaintances and transactional relationships in my life and businesses. 

What I’m craving more of is a DEEPLY connected circle of trusted peers and friendships. 

The kind where there’s no competition, no ulterior motives, zero jealousy, just “I love you, I support you, you’re a big f*cking deal, and let’s do great things together while we are here on Earth” kinda energy.

When the doubt creeps back in, I remind myself that the unknown is the realm of infinite potential only made possible by change. 

So I’m leaning into this stage of mid-life not as a crisis but as a clear sign to trust my intuition and shake myself awake from floating through life. 

I want my life abundant with purpose, intention and connections. 

However you choose to reinvent yourself, whatever you come to realize, know this… 

✨May your current ceiling be your future floor✨

If you want to lean into more on this topic, check out @nataliejillfit virtual summit event, Mid-Life Conversations Deep Dive with over 45 experts including me! 

The final F*R*E*E* encore weekend is happening now and you can get instant access to pick and choose from the diverse of topics that covers ever area of mid-life transitions by going to the link in Natalie’s bi0 or CoachGlitter.com/NatalieJill (NOT an affiliate link. I’m a proud speaker and big believer in creating MORE of these convos).
It is not too late. You are not too old to start n It is not too late. You are not too old to start now. To start again but this time with wisdom.

Middle age, mid-life, perimenopause, menopause, MAN-opause/Andro-pause (Yes the guys too)… it all needs a major REBRANDING. 

Let’s fire and hire a new PR company cause that last one sucked and start a whole new movement to flip the entire narrative on its head about the true GIFT that is entering the second half of life! 

Talk about a revolutionary reinvention tour that is a long time coming and I’m here for it. I hope you are too! 

I’m in the thick of it. The gloriously messy middle with this topic of the mid-life journey. 

The wild and twisty pivots, realizations, life giving experiences, WISDOM, all the hormonal changes along with the physical shifting (and working on REshifting), acceptance of this new chapter, fully discovering our voice, knowing what we DO want as well as saying heck no to the things we’re finally releasing especially the (unwelcomed) opinion of others and anything that has held us back in the past including ourselves.

Mid-life is just that. It’s only the halfway point. Be proud of where you are and who you are along with all the exciting possibilities of whatever is next! 

If you love this topic. If you want, need, crave more on this topic, check out @nataliejillfit virtual summit event with over 45 experts including the brilliant @chalenejohnson who first connected me with @nataliejillfit way back in the day!

The featured speakers (including me) represent a wide range from doctors to health/wellness advocates, lifestyle pros, financial gurus and so much more covering every nook and cranny that is vitally important in mid-life. 

The final encore weekend starts this Saturday and it’s F*R*E*E* so take full advantage of it & sign up on @nataliejillfit 🔗 in her Bye-O or go to CoachGlitter.com/NatalieJill 

I’m NOT an affiliate. I AM a super proud speaker for this event as well as long time friend & supporter of Natalie who is creating important work to help redefine & rebrand mid-life!
Life Is Liminal. Between two things. When you’ Life Is Liminal. 
Between two things. 
When you’re mid-page turn finishing the current chapter before starting the next. 
It’s that space between stimulus and response as Viktor Frankl has said. 

Will you be brave enough to be open and vulnerable to invite whatever comes next? 

Turn the fear of the unknown into a child-like curiosity? 

This is where transformations take place. When you’re in the awkward messy middle and you find yourself back into the chrysalis once again. 

That’s how it’s supposed to be. We’re not butterflies. We get to evolve many times throughout our lifetime if we allow it to happen. 

Let it. 
Embrace it. 
Welcome it. 

Thank you to all my new compadres that I got to spend eight life changing days with who created the safe space to experience my “Baja Aha’s”.
Your million dollar business idea is probably star Your million dollar business idea is probably staring right at you waiting for you to finally👀SEE it! 

It’s so obvious that it’s NOT, until you have that Oprah-worthy AHA 💡moment! 

Maybe it’s that very thing YOU finally figured out after tons of testing, failing, testing again and again and again until… you cracked the code to create a process, a replicatable step-by-step system just like @justinbrownpv 

It’s why we all need mentors, advisors, a community of peers and trusted coaches who are walking the talk to help shine a flashlight on the blindsights every single one of us have. 

Justin has been a longtime trusted peer, fellow business owner who is in the same niche yet there’s zero competition, only 💯collaboration.

It’s why I’m always jumping in on the chance to teach and speak alongside him as well as share with my own clients, students, email and social media communities all about his membership program PVA, shouting it from the rooftops since 2019! 

For the very first time ever, I’m also including my brand new, upcoming mini course all about how to use AI effectively to repurpose your live videos to cut 75% of your editing time and use it effectively to create tons of various content of all types WITHOUT losing your brand’s unique voice aka NOT sound generic and machine generated. 

You’ll get this as a BONUS by joining this incredibly accessible, robust video marketing and business growing program which is truly about so much more beyond YouTube. 

It also includes live coaching calls as well as a highly engaged global community and you start immediately plus get my BONUS when you sign up with their ANNUAL member option before the doors close tonight, Friday May 19th  at 11pm PACIFIC
