^My favorite for apples of the cheeks is the 116... it's amazing and I don't know how I ever lived without it
And for contouring the 168 is great!
What brushes do you Recommend?

Personally, I wouldn't want live without this brush! My lid space is very small and I still find it so useful. You can apply a wash of color on your lid, or apply highlighter or blend harsh eyeshadow lines out. Does its job wonderfully.
This is the brush I use EVERYTIME I do my eye makeup. Imo, it's well worth the price!

I've been reading a few blogs and people have been raving about Crown brushes so I googled them and this website came up:
Crownbrush - Millions Of Brushes At Your Fingertips
Is that the website for the ones that have been a success? I hope so!

I just purchased a new set of makeup brushes. They are called EcoTools, and the brushes are made out of bamboo. They are environmentally friendly and SO soft. I love them and they are great for mineral makeup, as they just help the colors set and go on so smoothly. Best part about them? You can get a whole kit for $12.00 at Walgreens.

^^ I think she means to condition it after you wash it. I condition my brushes about once a month (twice for the face ones, cuz I like them soft, and also for the older ones..), and it helps the little hairs on the outside stay together and not splay out all over.

I just take a good conditioner, squeeze some into my palm (how much depends on how big the brush is), and swirl my brush through it. I focus on the outside and top, but make sure I get some inside, too. Then I let it sit for about 2 minutes and rinse VERY well with cool water.

Hmm..see that's how I clean my brushes. I put some olive oil onto some tissue paper and rub the brush on it to get the colour out and then do as you said above. I think I may clean with the oil and then deep condition as you said.

OK,I'm a make-up newbie and since I don't have any brushes I decided I should save up and buy some good ones because I believe that brushes are an investement!
So,what else?
I have watched some Youtube videos to decide.I tried the mac website but people they have so many brushes there I got confused!
188-foundation
195-concealer
134-bronzer
129-blush
182-MSF (although I would die for the baby kabuki!)
239-lid colour
217 OR 222-crist colour (I wanna try which fits me best)
224-blending
227-highlight colour
210-liner
What do you think of them?Do you think there is a better brush I should try for the purpuse I want it for?
