Re: Must have Mac eye brushes to get ?
hi! i use 239 for e/s application, the 275 for lighter application in crease for a nude look and sometimes for blending..
i love love love the 212 for the lower lid, the 219 for crease banana deepening (hope this word exist).
and my favourite blending brush is the 222!!! because its not as fluffy and big as the 224 and the 217. but thats something you have to try, many people can handle great the 224.
if i only could choose 3 perhaps, it would be the 239, 219 (because its very useful for many different things, smudging liner for smokey look, lower lid, banana, outer v..) and the 222.
hope this helps

Re: beginner brushes?
239, 266, 217,187,242/252, & 219 and as you go you can add more. If you think is too expensive try, the 'crownbrushes.com', 'costalscents.com' or the cvs brushes, and check your local 'michael's craft store' hope this helps

Re: beginner brushes?
Eyes:
-239
-224 (I prefer the SE to the standard size)
-213
-219
-266
Face:
-129
-187
-182
-190
I hope that helps! Mac brushes are a bit pricey, but I genuinly believe the brushes are worth it. I think the above brushes are a staple in any make up lovers' case.

Re: beginner brushes?
If you don't mind a non-MAC brush set, Sephora has some pretty good sets - It usually comes with combo of eye brush, blush, bronzer-type, etc. I've had mine for YEARS and they've come out with some new ones with cute cases, looks.. hope this helps!
and for mac, I recommend the 217 and 224 to help blend

Re: beginner brushes?
You can live without the 239.. but you'd notice a BIG difference with it.
my absolute favorite though 219.. blends.. perfect for crease and that outer V people talk about..
If you're gonna do any contouring the angled cheek blush.. i forget the number but that is a must have.
EDIT: Also, non mac i have paint brushes which i can't live without. A fluffy one for highlighting (and fixing my mistakes) and when my 239 is dirty i have this stiffer 1/8 inch deerfoot for under eye shadow. Great bright application.
And I also have (eventhough i have the 266)
as my eyeliner brush. The eyliner brush especially is my absolute favorite. I had to practice but after a while I got the hang of it I use it every day with my L'oreal cream liner

Re: beginner brushes?
The ones I reach for the most and highly recommend are the following:
eyes: 219, 222, 224, 213, & 266
face: 168, 190, & kabuki that I bought at Sephora
One of my girlfriends that just started her brush collection got a nice MAC brush set from a Cosmetic Company Outlet for a really good price (I just can't remember the price right now). It had the basic eye brushes in a cute little carrying case.
