What brushes do you Recommend?

[inbigtrouble]

For eyes, I have to say that I could not live without my 266 for applying shadow as a liner and my 224, which I use every day to apply a wash to my lids. I love the 224 for its fluffiness, but it still seems to afford a good amount of control.

HTH!

At the moment (oh yes, it changes monthly) I can't live without:
222 for crease
239 for lid
272 for defined crease
224 for blending and highlighting
266 for my brows and lining the lower lashline

For my face I don't use any MAC brushes!

I think everyone definitely needs the 239 for lid and the 224 for crease and blending.

Sephora large e/s brush! It's a must for blending!
I could toss out all my e/s brushes and live off just that one!

For my face MAC 187!

For lining my eyes Pixi duo liner and Sephora brow brush.

For my Lips Becca portable lip brush.

For me the I can't ever live without even if my life depended on it brushes are 187 & 239. Otherwise I love the 190 and sometimes fall for the 168, but can do without as long as I have some other tools (mostly sponges & 187 <---- see how important this brush is to me lol

)

I love my 239 for the lid and 217 to blend as well as a crease brush.

My beloved UD blender brush and UD brow/eyeliner brush are the best. My first 2 brushes and my most used ones. Love them!

MAC brush wise i love the 168 and 190 for the face, for eyes i love the 219 and 239....i don't use lip brushes cause i just normally where lipgloss.

 

[blueyedlady87]

The brush I use most for shadow is the 242 followed the 252 and 208 for liner. For blending my favs are the 213 and 224. If you get on maccosmetics.com you can see pics/descriptions of all the brushes.

I need some eye shadow brushes.

I'm finally sick of my old Aveda ones. What shadow brushes should I get? I don't want a million of them, I'm thinking four at the most. The only decent brush for the eye area I currently own is MAC's 266, so please help me out.

 

[Miss_Behave]

ok here we go:

217 for blending, wash and browbone
219 for outer v, defined crease and smudging liner
222 for crease work (best ever)
272 for bold colors on lid

and if you wanna get 5 - 224, because it's nicer than a classic fluff brush and you can use it for lighter washes, crease and blending

HTH!

213, 217, 242, and one of the angled brushes that would work to line your eyes.

 

[user2]

222, 219, 252, 209, 213 and you're done!

219 brush is my life

which MAC brushes are essential??

Ok, I've had a set of Sephora brushes for awhile now, but since finding this site it is clear I need to upgrade. Maybe my makeup will look as good as all of you!

So which brushes do you consider must haves for me to start with? I want to purchase five. I really need some good blending brushes for eyes. The only MAC brush I have is the small angle (for the brows), I don't even know the number.

Thanks!
