The beloved 224 for blending. You can actually do an entire eye with this brush and nothing else.
The 219 pencil brush - I actually think this is my absolute favorite brush in the entire world. Enough said.
The 242 for piggies and packing on color - it's a good stiff brush.

242 - I bought it upon various recommendations and the things it can be used for eye-wise is nearly endless.
My other 2 faves aren't MAC ones, sorry I can only give you one rec.

217 - blending, eyeshadow/pigment application, glitter application, brow highlight application
242 - packs on pigments like no other. however, if you dont use pigments i wouldnt rate this as a must have.
263 - great liner brush, can use wet or dry pigments or eyeshadows, is precise, and is soft so it doesnt hurt your delicate skin

The 224 is the most awesome crease brush, for me it blends so amazingly it makes any colour combo possible!
The 213 fluff brush I love, but nobody else seems to!

The 209 for lining.

eyes:
liner: i personally LOVE the 266, and you can use this for your brows, as well. if you want a smaller angled brush, try the 208; if you don't like using angled brushes for liner, try the 209 which is a very fine pointed brush.
pigments: 239, hands down.
eyeshadow: really the only brushes you need are the 213 for e/s application, the 217 for blending and the 219 for the crease.

help choosing some eye brushes
hi everyone, I'm new to here
I was hooked by MAC just recently
.. I want to expand my MAC collection by having some eyeshadow brushes. I only have 266 and a nordstrom exclusive brush set. The set is raraly used since I'm not satisfied with the quality of SE brushes. Could anyone recommend me a list of top 5 most frequently used eyeshadow brushes?
Thanks

Get the 222 for blending, the 242 for Paints and CCB, and the 219 for crease work and to smoke it out.
With those three, you don't need any others, IMO.

Second the 222, awesome crease brush. I also really like the 219 for smudging liner, 239 for packing on color, and the 217 for applying paints. I was sooo messy with my pain application, but then an MA recommended the 217 for it and it is amazing. So if you like paints, def. get that one. HTH!

Agree with 239 and 217, but for me, I can use 217 for everything. Even though it says it's supposed to be a blending brush, it's very versatile.

I was going to recommend the #242 eye shader, it's very versatile, apparently it can be used for paints too (I personally prefer a smaller brush as my features are so small).

basically I only have some cheapy drugstore brushes, that are just horrible.
I do have the 266 though, but what other brushes would you say were nessecities for applying eyeshadow/blending etc?
& do better quality brushes make a big difference in application?
thanksss <3
