What brushes do you Recommend?

[Beauty Marked!]

A'S website is a real train smash. SiGh. I have many many of their brushes and they are fantastic. Their 100% pure squirrel ones are to die for. So cheap too. I use them as a professional MA as well as personally, and they have withstood frequent washing and are just as fabulous as the first day I got them. Just to let you know, to avoid dissapointment, their sable one's are nothing special. They aren't bad, by any means, but just ordinary. I don't mind that at all since, I buy the 9 piece 100% pure squirrel for the squirrrel ones only. I look at the rest of them as just extras thrown in. I can't rave on enough about them. The set 4 with free kabuki is great value too and very useful. I have the squirrel kabukis and they rock as well. Sorry to get so excited about A'Squirrel, but they are awesome.

Would you recommend the sable ones for someone like me, who is brand new to makeup and who doesn't have a lot of money?

 

[loewenki]

thank you all for the great info - i'm going to look into all of your suggestions!

The brushes by Sonia Kushak (might be spelled wrong) from Target got good reviews in a few fashion mags. You might also want to wait and get the MAC limited edition brush sets due out soon (they are beautiful!).

Yay! Its sweet to see another A'S fan here. Glad to hear that the 100% squirrel ones are great since those are the ones I'm savin for. Glad to hear some imput from someone with an actual set! Thanks a bunch!

Sadly, I have several sets!

I have three set 4, 6 goat kabukies, 4 squirrel, 2 set 12, 2 travel sets ( one was a gift for my mom) and have ordered the goat set, but still waitng on it's arrival. They are fantastic for work and home.

The sable pieces aren't sold seperately, they come with the sets.

Their customer service is pretty good too.

Great value for money...Yes, I could go on and on.....

BM!

i have tried the amazing cosmetic brushes and they are very good. i love the face powder brush. it's made of wool and feels like silk.

What are "Must Have" eyeshadow brushes?

I've got Japonesque brushes similar to MAC's 239, 228 and 224, and I have some badger hair ones similar to the 239, 266, and a great crease brush. And I've got the 242. Is there anything else I need?

 

[mel0622]

213! 213! 213! lol i love that brush.

 

[kare31]

217! I dont use it for application, but this brush is wonderful for blending

 

[user4]

217, 219, and 224 (great ones for blending)...

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

272, great...actually Fabulous for the crease!

 

[caffn8me]

The 222 is my preferred blending brush and I love the 219 for intense colour application and defining the crease.

 

[Miss_Behave]

Help me spend my money on brushes

ok, so I need new brushes, well actually I want some more

I have:
- lancome foundation and concealor brush
- TBS small fluff brush
- sephora blush, crease, smudge and angled liner brush
- mac 212, 217, 219, 222
- BB blender brush

so what else should I get? of course the 187 is already on my wishlist, even tho I don't know if I need it, but I WANT IT

is there any other brush I'm really missing?

 

[Midgard]

I can't live without
239 - packes on e/s very dense
224 - blend e/s to the brow bone
266 - for my eye brows
The 187 is great as a foundation brush, makes a very smooth finish!

From face secrets (at sally's beauty supply) the smudge brush for lining my lower lashline and the big powder brush.

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

I agree, the 224 and 239 are Must haves!!

 

[jess98765]

266 cos its versatile- you can use it for liners or for brows.
213 is a simple eyeshadow bursh if you need it

 

[fairytale22]

The 224 is my most used e/s brush, and the 109 is great for more precise blush application.

 

[GLOSSER]

MAC brushes?

What brushes do you consider to be a necessity?

 

[mrsroberson2007]

I cant live without #187, the stippling brush. Its really great to blend your foundation, a must have. Plus, i havent found one other brand that even makes a stippling brush!
