Collection: Youngblood Brushes & Tools

Professional makeup brushes made from artist-quality Taklon fibers

A good makeup brush makes the difference between a result that visibly looks 'made up' and one that blends into the skin — whether it is foundation, blush, eyeshadow, or highlighter. Youngblood has been developing brushes for years that are recommended by makeup professionals and skin therapists: handmade from high-quality Taklon fibers, 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and designed for the specific shape and technique required by each product.

The complete Youngblood brush line consists of more than fifteen specialist brushes, plus a travel set and several essential accessories. Every brush has a clearly defined role — there are no "one-size-fits-all" tools, but rather carefully chosen shapes suited to powder, cream, or liquid formulas and to different facial and eye areas. In this collection, you will find everything you need for a pro-level makeup routine.

Why choose a Youngblood brush?

The Taklon fibers used to make every Youngblood brush are gentle on sensitive skin while being firm enough to give you real control over the pigment you apply. Unlike natural hair, synthetic fibers do not excessively absorb liquid and cream products — meaning less waste, more precise application, and easier washing. Synthetic brushes are also more comfortable for sensitive or acne-prone skin because they retain fewer bacteria and do not cause irritation.

Every Youngblood brush is also designed for one specific technique: buffing, sweeping, packing, blending, or defining. This thoughtful differentiation makes the range suitable for beginners (with forgiving shapes) as well as makeup professionals who want to know exactly which tool to use for each step.

Find your ideal Youngblood brush

To help you navigate the range, we have organized the collection by function and facial area. This allows you to choose based on what your skin and routine require.

2. Touch up concealer with the YB10 Complete Concealer under the eyes and over blemishes

4. Add contour, blush, and highlight with the YB5 Cheek, YB7 Highlight, YB14 Multi-Tasker, or YB15 Crème Contour
5. Build up the eyeshadow with the YB9 All-Over Shadow for the eyelid, and the YB8 Tapered Blending or YB11 Crease for depth and blending
6. Finish with eyeliner and brows using the YB12 Line Perfecting, and curl your lashes with the Youngblood Lash Curler

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Youngblood brushes made from synthetic Taklon fibers instead of natural hair?

Artist-quality synthetic Taklon fibers offer several advantages over natural hair: they are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, do not excessively absorb liquid and cream products, retain their shape after repeated washing, and hold fewer bacteria. For sensitive or acne-prone skin, synthetic brushes are therefore often more comfortable than natural-hair options.

Which Youngblood brush is best suited for liquid foundation?

There are three foundation brushes in the collection, each designed for a different technique. The YB3 Liquid Buffing brush is dense and round for medium to full coverage with circular buffing. The YB4 Foundation brush has a precision shape for sweeping motions—especially suitable for mature or drier skin. The YB16 Skin Perfecting Foundation brush is the newest option, with an innovative angled shape for one-swipe coverage with modern full-coverage foundations.

How often should I wash my Youngblood brushes?

For foundation and concealer brushes (YB3, YB4, YB10, YB16), weekly washing is recommended with daily use; for cream blush and contour brushes (YB14, YB15), wash them every two to three days. Powder and eyeshadow brushes only need washing once every one to two weeks. Wash with mild soap or a dedicated brush cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and always lay them flat to dry to prevent water from entering the ferrule.

What is the difference between the classic YB1–YB12 line and the newer YB14, YB15, and YB16?

YB1 through YB12 make up the classic Luxe Brush line, with specialized brushes for every makeup application. YB14, YB15, and YB16 are newer additions designed specifically for modern trends: cream blush stick formulas (YB14), precision sculpting with cream contour (YB15), and the innovative angled design for modern foundations (YB16). They complement the existing line rather than replace it.

Does Youngblood also offer a starter set for those who are new to the brush line?

Yes, the Youngblood Travel Luxe Brush Set is an excellent starter set or upgrade. This limited edition combines six essential brushes (foundation, concealer, powder, cream blush, and both eyeshadow brushes) in travel sizes with a faux-leather travel case, at a significant saving compared with purchasing them individually.

Are Youngblood brushes suitable for makeup professionals?

Absolutely. The handcrafted artist-quality Taklon fibers, non-shedding construction, and thoughtful shape philosophy make these brushes popular with professionals worldwide. In particular, the precision brushes (YB10, YB11, YB12, YB15) and the multifunctional options (YB14, YB16) are regularly used in professional makeup kits.
