Beauty Bible met with the wonderfully lovely and incredibly talented, Oscar-nominated make-up artist Tina Earshaw (who's worked with the likes of Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman) a little while ago and are delighted to say that the brushes she's whisked over all those famous faces are now available for us mere mortals to play with. As she notes: 'Of course, there are lots of brushes on the market. But in my experience, you can only create the perfect look with the perfect tools for the job. So each brush in my range has been carefully designed to do its particular job with absolute precision – and that’s what makes the difference.'

The pretty massive range includes 26 perfectly proportioned brushes, from a large powder brush to a tiny smudge brush. Having had a chance to try them ourselves, we can honestly say that they are beautiful – and an absolute joy to use.

You can buy individually or Tina has had some very pretty brush-rolls made: a stunning gift for any budding make-up artist or enthusiast. (Do take a look at her website.)

An investment, for sure. But if they're good enough for Gwyneth...
