What brushes do you use for doing your eyes? Brand? Type?
I mostly use MAC 213,209,266,239 and for blending I use a Chanel no. 12 brush!
Good list! Some of my faves are on there!
239, 217, 227, 266, 224 (sometimes)
I must get the 217, everyone is loving it!
MAC 213 & 239 for applying color to the lid. MAC 219 w/ MAC 217 for applying & then blending in the crease OR Posh Large Crease Brush for applying/blending in the crease. MAC 227 for browbone & blending into above the crease.
Nice! I really need to look into the 217!
I use this Jane brush for my eyeshadow that I got way back in the day. It is the best one ever!
Love it! Isn't it amazing how brushes can stand the test of time?
I have yet to invest in super good brushes (gasp I know!) because I'd rather spend money on the make-up right now. My generic brushes have been doing just fine though, haha. I actually really like the brush that comes with the LOreal HIP pigments.
lmfao DITTO!! :]]]] my e/s and pigment collection are awaiting me HAHAH so are these like next 3 freaking amazing looking collections :] i can't wait for naughty nauticals, neo sci fi, and cool heat!!! <3
Hey Amy! I was just like you, it took me a long time before I would buy high end brushes!
I use the 239 and 217 by MAC and a crease brush I got from Quo (Canadian brand).
Nice, pretty minimal! Sounds like me :D
MAC - 213, 242, 266 Smashbox - 3,8,10 Stila - 28
Nice list :) Must check out Smashbox brushes!
BillyB Paintbrushes, they are the perfect brushes. I have the complete set and use them religiously.
Nice! I've heard great things about his brushes.
I have some brushes from the body shop (flat, filbert shaped), as well as Loew Cornell brushes (mainly mini mop for blending) and Essence of Beauty crease brushes.
Nice! Love the LC mini mop!
MAC (all the ones people have already pointed out) and SMASHBOX, which are my favorite!
Nice :) Favorite MAC eye brush?
I use 2 Bobbi Browns that I stole from my mother and one MAC and occasionally 2 brushes I got for Christmas(no brand). I don't know names and i dont know numbers.
LOL, how cute, Dee!
MAC 242 is my favorite brush ever :D I also frequently use Benefit's smudger brush (now DC-ed), and a lot of Mark (by Avon) brushes, they're really nice and the liner brush is a HG. When I remember (because I forget I have so many brushes sometimes, haha) I like to use my double-ended Tarte brushes. Oh! And this brand from K-mart (of all places) has really nice brushes (I don't remember the name, but they come in pink envelope packaging) too!
I hate when they DC brushes, grrr!! My favorite brush was by Benefit, originally, though I've since fallen in love with the 239 instead.
My staples are def. 239,224,266, and for the most part 217!!
What do you love the 217 for?
Some essence of beauty brushes (CVS brand, great quality, very soft), a Tarte double-ended brush, a Sonia Kashuk eyeliner brush. I'm holding out for some nice sets before I buy any from mac.
My cousin is a make-up artist (for the last 30 years) and he swears Walgreens brand is 1 of the best! ;)
Nice! I miss having a CVS right around the corner!
242, 239, 222,224 & 227... luvvv themmm!! =)
Yay for the 239!!
MAC 129, 224, 227, 219- and I like smashbox brushes- Only because I got a good deal from QVC! What does everyone use to clean there brushes...? I use the MAC brush cleaner w/ a little bit of water.
I use antibacterial hand soap.....I had someone recommend it, and it works well - and hasn't bothered my brushes at all!
Baby shampoo. Works beautifully - the brushes come out perfectly cleansed and softer than ever!
I use Baby Shampoo!
239 or 217, 219 and 224, always!
Everybody is listing the 217, why don't I have it? LOL.
All MAC: 222, 224, 217, 239, 266!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta have the 239 and 266!!
MAC 239 (definitely my must have), 217 and sometimes the 219.
Love the 239 :D
MAC. 239, 217, 208, 222, 227, 219. I have more, but those are the usuals.
What do you use the 217 for usually?
The 217 is my favourite blending brush. I like how it's more dense than the other blending brushes, not too big and not too long. It's also brilliant for blending out concealer under the eyes.
Primarily I use the 213, 239 and 219. All MAC. The 219 is my most favourite brush! It's perfect for applying crease colours and for smudging and softening liner.. I have 2 :D
Aww, I adore the 219 myself!
