We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming of the Bunny Bridal Countdown to bring you a PSA on makeup.

Because only Mrs. Bunny would interrupt her recaps to talk about makeup, right?

By now you probably know that I’m a proponent of what a good makeup brush can do for DIY makeup.

Specifically, I’m speaking of a nice, round, compact blush brush. I do most of my makeup application with my fingers, I admit. But there’s just no substitute for a good blush brush. They’re designed to glide over the apples of your cheeks and distribute a nice, even coat of powder up toward your temple.

Personally, I use the Mary Kay blush brush, but that’s only because I used to sell Mary Kay and had a couple brush sets left over.

It’s also nice to have a good brush or two for eye makeup. Fingers work well, but if you’re DIYing on your wedding day, you probably want to stay as clean as possible.

It’s easy to spend a lot of money on a brush or brush set, but what if you’re just getting introduced to the world of makeup in order to save some moolah for your wedding by going DIY? You probably don’t want to drop a lot of dough on something you may or not use after the wedding.

Enter these cuties! Each of these sets is from Target (get a gift card at your shower? I thought so.).

This Sonia Kashuk Hidden Treasure ($19.99) set is one of my faves for its stunning good looks!

I love the coral motif. According to online reviews, the handles are plastic, so they’re not overly heavy, and their shape keeps them from rolling away. Chic and handy!

If you’re looking for something more compact, you could try the Pixi Deluxe brush purse ($28.00).

For those of you who are fans of mineral makeup, this Eco Tools travel set is only $9.99! Perfect to pack for your honeymoon if you want to travel light.

I am seriously coveting this next one.

This Sonia Kashuk set has one brush wand with interchangeable magnetic heads. Brilliant! And only $17?

Unfortunately I’ve been unable to find this set online. I’d check out my local Target for these babies. (Oh, and if you find them, let me know. I waaaaant them!)

DIYing my makeup was a big part of me finding my bridal glow ala Mrs. Peep Toe.

More later about my wedding day makeup — including reviews of the NARS multiple in orgasm, Dior Blackout Waterproof mascara and CoverGirl’s new(ish) lipstain line.

*a.k.a End of PSA. Carry on!
