Essential MAC Brushes
What are some essential MAC brushes you guys would recommend? I would love to buy every single one of them but I'm a poor college student.

Re: Essential MAC Brushes
Greetings fellow poor college student
I only have two MAC brushes: 266 Angled Brush which i mostly use for my BB gel liner and the 224 Tapered Blending Brush. I remember i had trouble choosing between the 217 and the 224 but i cant remember why i chose to buy the 224 but im liking it
Blends well and its nice and soft~
Not sure about other brushes, but they are the two i chose to buy for now. My other brushes are from The Body Shop and art stores ^^" which i shall swap for MAC brushes once i save up some moolah

Re: Essential MAC Brushes
I have the 187, 224, and 266. I also have some brushes by Clinique, Essence of Beauty, and Sonia Kashuk. I, too, hope to trade in these brushes for some more MAC ones. We should do a fundraiser, lol! ^_^

Re: Essential MAC Brushes
217 brush for blending. Its soft and wonderful!
187 for blush, bronzer, highlighter, msfs, applying foundation, pretty much anything. Its amazing!!
239 for packing on shadow. Its the same hair as the 217 so its really soft, not scratchy at all.
219 pencil brush for smudging, applying highlight to inner corners.
These are the brushes I use daily.

Re: Essential MAC Brushes
Hehe. All the poor college/university students unite!
I have 217 x2, 219, 188, 129, 190 and oh yes, the 316.
I don't use all of them daily. I rather get more zZzz than sit in front of a mirror, although I'd love to do both.
I do find that I reach for the 219, 190 and the 188 often. They are multi-taskers! I use the 219 to apply eyeshadow, it also does wonder in blending. 190 for foundation. 188 for blush. For powder, I use a Quo blush brush. I tend to be rough on my powder brushes, so cheap is the way to go.
edit: oh. I only apply one eyeshadow colour, if any, during school time. If the look requires more than one colour, the 217 is needed.

What are some must-have MAC eyeshadow brushes?
Hello everyone! This is my first post on Specktra, I'm a MUA regular
Anyway, I don't have many MAC brushes... actually I have the 208 (which I really don't like) and 227 which I *totally* love. I'm interested in buying more shadow brushes because I love the 227 so much. What are some 'basic' shadow brushes that YOU love that you would recommend? Thanks!

I can't stress the 219 brush enough. I LOVE it. Absolute favorite brush for blending. It's sooo easy to blend. Non-eye brushes I also like are the MAC Couture buffing brush, as well as the 134.

Re: Essential MAC Brushes
Another poor college student here!
Here's the ones that I think are essential:
187 - you already have it, so yay! - I use this mainly for blushes/powders (I use the 188 for foundation - personally preference since I like the smaller version because it gets into small areas like around the nose, chin and gives me more control) - this is such a versatile brush, you can use it for foundation, blush, bronzer, powder, blending, MSF, etc
217 - best blending brush - I use this for all my looks after patting on eyeshadow/pigments with my 242 - it blends like a dream and also picks up more color than the 224 - personally I prefer this over the 224 as I think it gives me more control when I'm blending
242 - my HG eyeshadow brush - can't live without this one - It's flatter and dense/firm but still soft - great for packing/patting on eyeshadow/pigments - I even use this for fluidlines to line my eyes sometimes and also use it for concealer/base.
266 - you already have, so yay again!
182 - I know this brush is expensive, but it's my fav buffer brush - so luxuriously soft and dense, it'll never scratch you face - I use this mainly for my mineral foundation and for blending out harsh contour lines on my face - but you can also use it for powders and bronzers
I think these are the essentials, there are a lot of other good MAC brushes but I think these are more than enough for a complete makeup application.
