Which THREE MAC brushes do you use most?

[jacquelinda]

187 and 239 are A MUST. foundation and eyeshadow.

i cannot live without those or my 226. i have a lot more but those are my top 3.

For me it has to be MAC 116 ...it has to be my HG blush for blusher...

i seldom put eyeshadows so the other brushes are like gathering dust in my drawer. haha

I don't wear foundation everydayso I would say my most important brushes, right now, are:

239, 181 and 217 but I need my 226 toooo

187. 181 and 217. The 187 for foundation, the 181 for applying blush and blot powder AND buffing it all out, the 217 for e/s blending amazingness

I only have 5 MAC brushes. I use two every single day, my 224 for blending and my 227 for highlight. I have the 187, but I only use that when I using liquid foundation (not very often). But when I do it applies beautifully. I should really try to use some powders with it, eh? Haha.

Gosh only 3! I would have to say my new favorite is the 226 because it can get into my crease area nicely. I'm also liking the 214 to pack color on in small areas...I also use my 187 every single time I put on foundation. I have so much more as favorites, but these are what I'm using the most lately....

Hmmm, only 3? Here's what I use everyday:

190 - foundation
242 - eyes
226 - eyes
165 - blush/msf
129 - powder

 

[M.A.C. head.]

239 - packing color onto the lid
217 - blending from crease to brow bone, high light
182 - blending foundation

219, 239, small skunk brush

Only ones I own- I've dug through a lot of brush jars at MAC looking for a perfectly laid and cut brush and haven't seen one in a while. They supply so many stores and have to churn out so many brushes...

I got an old Holiday set off Ebay for travel and saw the quality difference from a few years ago(2004?) and just freaked- They're perfect! Exquisite! Look to this, MAC. I've been sucking it up to buy Shu Uemara. But he doesn't make a 219 or 239... Two best brush designs if not execution.

Only 3?

Here goes:

187:Foundation
182:MSF/blush(when needed)/BP(when needed)
239:Eyeshadow multitasker if I didn't have my 219 on me

And I finally got the 219, but haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet!

I really only use the 190 and 187 brushes. All of my eye brushes are Sephora, either The Smokey Eye kit or Perfect Ten pink-handled set.

My 117 for eyes, 182 for foundation, and 187 for blush and highlight.
