Im new to makeup and trying to start my basic makeup kit.I need some advice on good brushes.I cant afford the mac brushes right now so i need some cheaper but good ones.I bought some from avon but i dont think they are all that good because i can barely see the eyeshadows when i use the avon brushes.

Hello! Check out the Essence of Beauty brushes! I really love these brushes, 95% of my brushes are EoB! You can get them at CVS and they are very affordable; a lot of the brushes are sold in pairs or in a travel pack. I love every brush they make. The quality is very good too. I haven't found anything that can compete for price and quality. These have light wood colored handles and black bristles. The packaging is a clear pouch. -hope that helps you find them easier!

And to make the e/s show up better and last longer, think about investing in an e/s primer. I like Art Deco or Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Sephora's brushes are on sale right now, too. They're also running a Family & Friends promo. Go to their site and type 'sale' in the search box.

There is also a MA on YouTube.com that has a MAC vs. Paint Brush Comparison. I think the brand he compares is Loew Cornell
