Brushes?

[mrsvandertramp]

Are the Shu Uemura brushes worth the money?
Better than MAC?
Which ones do you recommend?

Both brand have good brushes, mostly I use MAC, but I really love SU's 4F, it is a fine liner flat brush, can be use very easy on fluidline

I love Shu Uemura Synthetic Brush #10. If I only had one makeup brush, this would be it. I use it mainly as a concealer brush, but it also works wonderfully for eyeshadow (cream and powder), NARS Multiples, and for spot application of powder foundation. Retails for 35 dollars, and IMO it's worth it.

I really want to buy Natural Brush 18R Red, i was petting it in the store and it is so soft, and I love the color. It retails for 45 dollars.

The only ShuUemura brush that I have is the natural brush 16DF, and i think its way too small....but oh soooo soooo soft!!I really do like it but i hardly use it beause of its size!

I have the natural brush 18R in red, I had to do it, just LOVE the color

Their brushes are really nice. I have a few MAC ones for e/s. My next brush purchase will be Shu natural 20B for loose powder.

omg I HAVE to get the 18R brush. It is gorgeous. But damn, $48 dollars now!?!? I know I only want it because it has red bristles. Urgh...

I have an extensive collection of Shu brushes, they are DIVINE. My everyday never fails me perfect everytime eyeshadow brush is #12. Yes, they are expensive, but they are a very high quality professional tool.

JMO!

I saw one shu brush in nordstrom, and it's calls KOLINSKY, and retails....$270...OMG...is that ok?? maybe it's $27



and there's a few more very expensive too...

^No, I think it is $270. I have no idea as to why it is that much though..lol.

Sometimes you can find Kolinsky brushes at Lancome COO's for severely marked down prices. Like a $270 brush for $30, no kidding, it's rare, but I it does happen.

I can attest to this, I picked up my long handle #12 for $15 (retail $260) from a CCO sale.

The Shu #12 Synthetic Fiber works great for cream shadows - including Paint Pots.

Ive got 3 Shu brushes- 4F, 6M and 18R. The 4F splayed pretty soon after I got it so I cant use it anymore. the 6M is good and I love the 18R Red- its soo cool looking and is really fluffy and soft.
