I was going through all of my brushes and decided to update my list so I figured I should add it here too. I hope that's ok. Im sure its not all inclusive because MAC brushes go back so far. I went mostly off what I have and some of what I know and could research, and I kept most of what was here too. Any corrections or additions are welcomed.
I listed the number first, a description if I felt it needed one, the first collection I could find with that particular brush number in it, and if its limited (LE) or discontinued (Dcd).
