good (cheap) makeup brushes??
ok so the brushes i have now are just crap. i really want to get some good brushes without spending a fortune. i mean if i really cant find any cheap ones that work well ill probably settle for the mac brushes but does anyone have any brand i could check out just like at a drug store or something before i make a bigger investment? (or at least until my next paycheck comes)

Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
You should look into Sonia Kashuk brushes from Target, they are good quality for their price, so check them out if you have a Target nearby

I second the sonia kashuk brushes!

I use one for foundation/moisturizer/primer (not in that order) and I love it!

Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
Heck, even Target's no-name brand of brushes are good. I've had mine (two eyeshadow brushes) for at least a year and a half and they are in great shape.

Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
i have 1 sonia kushuk brush (the big powder brush, i think it's #01) and it's nice and soft. i have some Japonesque brush (the travel one that comes with an aluminum case) but i would say i only like the tiny brush in it. and i heard E.L.F. makes supercheap brushes - $1 each - but i also read on another forum that their customer service stinks - some people didn't get their stuff for 2 months and the CS was just not responding to them. i also have some trish mcevoy brushes but those were a bit pricey - but i have to say, i did pay for quality.

Exclamation Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
I have a few of all of these brands - All good: click the links to see the sets and visit the websites!!!

Nice set of 23 brushes + brush roll for $70

Set of 10 brushes for under $50

12 piece set with roll pouch for $52

This is a set of 7 exceptional brushes for the price + brush apron $110



I added the photo because this last set would be a great investment. @design brushes are FAB-U-LOUS!!!

Hope this helps.

Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
Add me to the list of Sonia Kashuk brush fans! I was thinking that one day I'd get better brushes when I could afford them, but honestly I like the Sonia Kashuk ones so much that I think I'll just stick with them. Right now on Target's website, there's a set of some basic brushes on clearance for $14.99 (this set is only online and not in stores). There's also a deluxe travel set for $19.99 both online and in stores. Not a bad deal!

CVS Essence of Beauty has a 2 pack of crease brushes (one bigger, one smaller) for like $8. I really like them and use them quite often.

Re: good (cheap) makeup brushes??
My vote goes to the Sonia K brushes too!!. also if you have a Sally's they carry some brushes called Face Secrets. I have used them for over 3 years and they still look perfect!

I second the Face Secrets brushes at Sallys. They are really good and comparable to the high end brushes but at a fraction of the cost.
