ok so next week Smoke signals and blue storm come out here in the uk and i soo want the Smoking eyes quad more than anything else. I dont own any MAC eye brushes just face ones and i really wanna make my brush collection bigger. What would you guys say are the best 2 eye brushes? i want a blending brush and a brush to apply the eyeshadow with so im hoping you guys can help =) thanks! oh and if you say why you picked those brushes that would be great help!

p.s what is the best brush for applying fluidlines with?

For regular e/s application I would def go with the 239. For a blending brush possibly the 224 or 217. And I use the 208 for f/l.

hello

i agree with the recs for shadow and blending brush.
my fav for the f/l is the 266 brush.

application - 239
blending - 217
fluidline - 266

these are my HG brushes all the way

i don't do any looks without these 3!

also, the 219 is great for crease definition, then blended out with the 217.

HTH!

My fav of MAC brushes for f/l is #208 and #263, they are thinner than the #266 so they are easier for me to guide. But to be honest I am in love with Bobbi Brown liner brushes. I have small hands and I actually prefer the little one (like 3 or 4 inches) I got in a set. But I have the regular and ultra fine liner brushes of hers in the short handle (like 6 inches). But if you are getting MAC #208 and #263 are great for lining. I like these two when I'm using a shadow as a liner, the angle helps me. But that's just me, you may just want to go to the counter and ask if you can try each one, maybe on your hand and you could see the difference in lines.

I prefer the 208 for FL and 219 for making a smokey eye
