What brushes do you Recommend?

[~LadyLocks~]

Yeah I feel you on that! MAC brushes are expensive so the only ones I have been able to afford are: (That is on seperate pay checks of course

)

224, 217 (both great for blending and are essential IMO)
242 (great for packing on colors like Lustres and pigments)
266 (great for filling in brows and lining under the eye. Some people also like this for Fluidlines but I use a pointy eye liner brush for that.)

I do plan on buying the mini Skunk one (forgot the number 188 I think) when they do come out with it, it's way cheaper then the original size one and I heard it's better for blush than the bigger one.

Hope that helps

217 239 187 for msf

seconding the 224 suggestion. it's my favorite brush EVAR.

the ones i use every single day are: 224, 242 (or 252 whichever size you prefer), 209 and 187. they are the essential cannot-live-without ones for me.

That's it?

the 187 is very useful for the face. i use the 187 and 188 for foundation, mousturizer, blush, msf's...they're very versatile.

for the eye, the 217 applies like a dream. this is a brush that i definitely think is worth the money, and couldn't be replicated with any drug store brush.

if you use fluidlines, the 266 is a must as well.

if you fill in your brows, the 208 is perfect

hope this helps some!

Re: mac brushes

I would say 266. It can shape your brows and line your eyes, something your fingers cannot be substitiuted for ! !

Re: mac brushes

217 Brush is great for e/s application and blending at the same time

deffo get the 182 brush if you use MSFs and blushes, its fantastic with natural msfs

Yeah, pretty much those. They are the best.

I also love my 252 and 275 for eyes.

Re: mac brushes

Definitely the 187. I use mine for liquid, powder, and blush/beauty powders. It's really multi-purpose and makes all my face makeup look smooth and blended.

Re: mac brushes

The 252 and 242 for eyes and 129 for blush. These are the best brushes MAC has to offer and could not imagine my life without them.

Re: mac brushes

For blusher I love the 168 brush. 187 is very versatile, can use it for bronzer, blusher, foundation. I love the 182 buffer brush, its great for blending eveything into the skin.

Re: MAC Brushes

I don't buy many MAC brushes, but I like the 129 because I can use it for my powdery stuff and blush. For my eyes, I use art brushes (craft stores!).
