Lauren Luke's best brushes

Benefit Get Bent liner brush £12.50.
Lauren says: "The design means this is great for getting to the inner corner of the eye with liner – which can be tricky. I found it a little awkward at first but persisted, and it paid off. Genius!" ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Bobbi Brown Eye Shader brush, £23.50.
Lauren says: "This is huge and best for eyes if you intend to ­apply only one colour. Great handle and beautifully soft hair. Fine for blusher, too." ★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Clinique lip brush, £10.
Lauren says: " I am always on the lookout for brushes that are multifunctional – and this is a great one. Perfect." ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Marks & Spencer foundation brush, £9.50.
Lauren says: "At first glance, this looks the business. But when applying foundation or cream ­products, it tended to be too soft. Well-priced, though." ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Revlon concealer brush, £5.99, ­Superdrug.
Lauren says: "Good all-round brush which you can easily use for cream eye shadow, blusher and lip ­products." ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian

Solait kabuki brush £5, ­Superdrug.
Lauren says: "I love the grip on this but ­unfortunately there wasn’t much else to like. The bristles were too soft and didn’t blend the powder very well." ★★ Photograph: Sara Morris for the Guardian
