Powder brush, foundation brush, lash/brow comb, large eyeshadow brush & small brush.
Saying that however, i really do think i wouldnt be able to live without all my brushes..
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Do you have a certain brand or brands that you love for your brushes?
Thankfully we do not have to live without them!

My MAC 187 foundation brush (you barely need any product with this one), my angled brow brush from Sephora, and I usually just use any big powder brush and cheapie eyeshadow brushes-but those two are definitely a must!
Christine

So many people LOVE the 187! I haven’t loved it in awhile (I loved it before I got the 182 for foundation).

cheap-o annabelle e/s brush, use them for udpp and paintpot application (as I got pissed at the udpp bottle, cut it up and put its insides in sample jars!)
242–eyeshadow lid application
217–heavenly for crease application and my beloved blender!
187–liquid foundation application and blending for flawlessness!
a small liner brush from quo (looks like a concealor one) as I like to put fluidline but try to tightline, and i find an angled brush gives me a huge line that to me looks wonky!
I hope to procure a buffer brush and some more MAC brushes when I take a trip to the states hopefully soon!
Christine

LOL, good for you taking your UDPP bottle to the cleaners ;P

Three brushes from my Sephora Smoky eyes kit: detail brush for lining with Fluidline, the allover shadow brush, and the brow/lash comb duo.
MAC kabuki.
Sonia Kashuk tapered blending brush.
But I love all my brushes equally!

Christine

Love the 182! I like that your choices are different from ones I’ve seen, and I don’t remember what the 116 or 217 do, lol.
karen

MAC 266, 217, 252, 239, 219 (yikes, and I used to hate this one)

Gosh, I have so many brushes that I love! But, the brushes I could not live without are MAC 129, 187, 239, 217 and Nars #13.
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
What kind of brush is the NARS #13?
Davina
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
this is hard! MAC has got me hooked on every brush they make, ha ha! but if i had to choose: 109, 187, 239, 217, 242. i use a combo of tiny flat & angled art store brushes for my fluidline, i love them more than the 266. ;)
Davina
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
oops! that should have been 190 instead of the 109.
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Ohh, you got me, ha. I was like 109?!
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
lol! I can’t remember what the 109 does, I need to go look that up.

If I could only choose 5 brushes to have forever… it would be the 182, 239, 266 and two 217s. Yes, two of the same brush: one for playing with and blending eye colour, the other for under-eye concealer.
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
You know, if I could afford it, I’d probably have five 239s just so I could worry about cleaning it so much!
koizumi

MAC 194, 239, 219, 217
and Prescriptives Bronzer Brush (It´s fantastic for the blush)
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Good choices, Koizumi! I love the 239 and 219, too!
Amanda
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Question-what do you all use the 219 for? I bought one recently but I haven’t been able to figure it out to get much use from it…but if you are putting it in your top 5, then I’m definitely missing something, haha! What do you do with it? Thanks!!
koizumi
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Hi Amanda, I use the 219 for applying color in crease. Then I blendind with 217 brush.
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
I use it to apply shadow on my lower lash line most of the time, but I also like to use it to smudge liner.
Arness

If I have to narrow down to five, I think it would be:
MAC 187/188/217/242/209
Christine
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Good picks, Chrissy! I see we have a lot of 187 fans!

I could NOT live without my MAC 224 blending brush. Also, I need my 266 for my brows, my 150 powder brush, 168 blush brush, and I love the 242 and 252 brush to apply eyeshadow!
Christine
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I second the 266 for brows!
Pia
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
I can’t live without my 266. It’s great for brows, tightlining my eyes and even for creases.
For applying eye shadows, any brushes which could pick up color are good enough for me. Besides, I could always use my fingers to apply and blend.
Christine
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I totally agree for brows! I tried to tightline with it, and I found it wasn’t thin enough for me, though.
Sovann
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Hi Christine! I absolutely love the 182 also. I love how I can buff foundation so easily!!!! Also, love: 224, 217, 266, 222.
Christine
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Hey Sovann! :) Hope you’re doing well!
Yesss, the 182 is truly amazing. I’m also a huge fan of the 266 like you!
Linda

MAC 187
MAC 239
MAC 227
Posh Large Crease Brush (similar to MACs 219, but a little larger & softer, I find this is perfect for depositing color into the crease AND blending it – something I used to use 2 separate brushes for)
theBalm Shady Lady Liner Brush (best angled liner brush EVER – & its only $5 at Sephora!)
Christine
Friday, March 28, 2008
Hmm, where can I find Posh?
Victoria

1. Quo cream e/s brush
2. MAC #187
3. MAC #239 eye shader brush
4. Quo small concealer brush (super tiny for very precise application!)
5. I’m FINALLY getting a #182 and I know I’m gonna love it!
Christine
