The Body Shop brushes - How are they?

[gitts]

There is a big difference between the Body Shop brushes in the UK and the US. Being a seasoned traveler myself, I have some brushes from both countries. In fact, I have an eye shadow brush from the UK and recently bought one from the US. The brushes in the UK are of a completely different quality. They are very soft and fluffy. The US brushes are the complete opposite, stiff and harsh on the skin.

Quality of bristles and application outcome is much better with MAC brushes. I've used a few of the Body Shop ones and i think they're terrible!! The only one I have kept is the large fabe & body powder brush..I have 3 of them and I apply my Studio Fix powder with them. Otherwise waste of money!!

I have the eyeshadow brush and it works great for concealer, but it is way too stiff for eyelids.

The brushes from the Body Shop are really cheap! I think they are all bad synthetic brushes. Now you do need synthetic bristles for certain brushes used for applying foundation, concealer or dabbing on e/s. I would not even consider them as an alternative to MAC. I have heard that Sonia Kushak brushes from Target are a good inexpensive brand. I have one of those brushes and its pretty good. Don't bother with the Body Shop brushes.
