    I absolutely *cannot* live without:

    1) MAC 187 – I use this for applying my Studio Fix Fluid, Stick Foundation AND MSF.
    2) MAC 239 – I use this daily for e/s application.
    3) Nars Large Domed Eye – To blend e/s
    4) MAC 150 – For powder.
    5) MAC 311 – I know this is really suppose to be a lip brush, but I use it as an eyeliner brush for my fluidline =)

      How do you find using the 187 for powder and liquids work? I got sick of having one brush matted from the liquid, so I got two myself.

      Oh, I use lip brushes for eye purposes all th etime, Jenny!

    mac 187
    mac 150
    l/c maxine mop
    l/c angle brush
    mac 217
    japonesque brow brush

    these i use everyday, even when travelling. other brushes are not so important. i do want to try the mac kabuki brush but have to save up for that. maybe when mac launches their mineral powder foundation, i might have to get that.
