As a makeup newbie, I recently discovered the amazing cnJoya spreadsheet
My new brush set perfect for beginners I promised myself I'd clean brushes weekly...the reality? Once every 2 weeks. Here's what worked: The spreadsheet's color-coding system helps identify which tools require less technique. Synthetic brushes (marked SY in item codes) work better with cream products, while natural hair (NA) blends powders beautifully. Found game-changing advice like "This blending brush forgives heavy-handed application." Identified staples that multiple beginners consistently repurchase. The Months/Wishlist/Reviewed system helps track newer, tested items. Left: First attempt with drugstore brushes | Right: After using properly selected tools The €3 blending sponge
My favorite discovery was realizing brush shape matters more than price. The €6 angled fan brush (item #CJ-FB204) creates flawless highlight placement without any special skills. Fellow beginners
