How many makeup brushes do you own? Do you use them all?
.
I’d say around 30 or so, and I probably use 75% of them regularly. There are a few that are “special” so I only use them for certain things, e.g. lining, which I don’t do all the time.

I own about 20 brushes right now.
I want more 😀
too many lol!
Too many, but they all have their functions!
I probably have about 30 brushes, both MAC and non-MAC. I have more eye than face brushes.
Around 80 and I adore them like they’re my children!
Literally about 60, I need to do a cull
Hm, I haven’t counted, but I’d say about 25. And I use them all and love them!
mmm I think I have 30+ and I use all of them yes, here and there :)_
I have 23 on my vanity, not including the lash comb. Of these, I think I use 10-11 everyday. I have more, but I don’t use them as much so they’re stored away under the cabinet.
I owen 12 E.L.F brushes which includes 3 e/s brushes as I use 1 for concealer,n other 1 for putting on colour n a spare.as they were doing a good offer apart from that I own 27 brushes ranging 4m estee lauder,1 jemma kidd which is a e/s n highlighter combo brush n just started MAC collection of brushes n I have 2,129 n 165 plus 3 Le hello kitty brushes xxx
I have 3, a concealer brush, and two from a kit that I use for blush, highlight, and contour.
Though, as soon as I get some money or get a job, I am definitely ordering the Sigma full brush set, plus some brushes that aren’t in the kit.. Like the SS109, SS188, and the SS182.
I can’t wait though, haha. As soon as I get a job, I plan to save some money for a few months, and then makes some online makeup orders. :o)
6 brushes
About 20 not including a little travel set. I want about 5 more!
Way too many to count! I think the least number I use each day is somewhere around 12?
A big dozen made of Mac, Make Up Forever, Sephora and Coastal Scents ones (the black ones). I use them all and we’ll never tell enough about how important the tools are to make a good make up.
In addition of those brushes, I own a very old eyeliner Rouge Baiser eyeliner brush that was belonging to my mother back in the late 60’s/early 70’s. It’s old but still in very good condition. Weird to use such an old tool but I love it: I was playing with it when I was a little girl, I suppose I’ve had time to tame it! My mother didn’t mind picking it since she no more make up for very long now. It’s still working awesome and it’s my favorite to use with Mac Fluidline because you can both create very thin and thick lines.
I only have/need three (all MAC): 182 for powder foundation, 129 for blush and 266 for eyeliner.
For my personal use – around 20
For use on clients – around 35/40
Too many! Lol. And since I’m about to get serious with my freelancing, I’m going to invest in a set for my clients.
I think I have about 20 brushes.
I have 28 and will probably get a few more eventually. I use most of them daily if not weekly. I love my brushes.
How many makeup brushes do you own..
ALL OF THEM..
lol

My mac brush belt minus 180, 181, 182
I just got two new Trish McEvoy brushes. I’m dying for some Chanel brushes.
Thirty or so sounds about right. About 1/3 cheaper store brands (like Sonia Kushak), 1/3 artist brushes (which I’m phasing away from), and 1/3 MAC which I’m slowly replacing the other brushes with.
I have seven, 3 are from MAC, 3 from Sephora and 1 from Ulta..I think its and Origins brush..I dont know it was only $3 and its an angle brush. But i collection will expand when I go to MAC this week 😛
14 mostly MAC and a few Sigma. I use most of them on a regular basis.
I pretty much have every MAC brush except a couple that I never picked up from limited editions….I also have all the Body Shop brushes
hi mary ann
what do you think of the body shop brushes in comparison to your MAC ! cant believe you have all of them wow!
x
I own 11 brushes, some Mac and some from other brands. I don’t use all of them on a regular basis, just the eye brushes mostly.
I’ve never understood the need for so many brushes! I use two, one that came with my mineral foundation and one Sonia Kashuk one for eyeshadow. I promise I can blend well with it! I do need to get one more, though, because I need a Fluidliner brush.
i have the kat von d brush set…and some other random non-brand makeup….but i definetly need some more!!!
I own 20 brushes, including Ecotools.
I own over 30+ brushes, and counting. I don’t use them all, but I do need them all because they all have a purpose.
Around 15 and I use most of them all the time, minus two that I use for lining.
close to 40, I think. I love them. <3.
I have about 25, or around there. Just counted them really quickly, lol. Oh wait… snap. Forgot to count lip brushes! So +3 more. I need more face brushes, though. Meep. haha
I have around 10, but they are MUST haves…and I will definately be adding to my collection within the next month or so!
I’d say around 35 or so. =]
I use about 20 of those.
I have 8. But I just threw a bunch of old ones away and I’m planning on replacing them with some better quality ones as I can afford them.
29 brushes!
I think I have about 15 but there inexpensive brushes but they do they job for me.
I own a set from sephora which is really bad quality, so i’m slowly replacing them with brushed from MAC. I have 3 MAC brushes so far, and after being able to compare them to sephora quality i’m so in love!
I just counted 63(I’m kinda suprised I didn’t think I had that many)
40 brushes and growing
… 3. XDDDDD
I have 12 between sephora, elf and MAC brushes
I own 6 : 182/165/223/226/214/169
I only own about 20. Most are Costco brushes, Ecotools, Lise Watier, Quo and MAC.
I have 11 make-up brushes. I use 9 of them regularly (2 of them are eyeliner brushes, so I only really use those 2 when I’m applying eyeliner). Most of them are brushes for eye make-up – highlighting brush, one for packing on colour, a few crease brushes and a blending brush.
i have maybe 15. as of now, one day when i’m not being a slacker and actually working i want to get so many more.
I own every single mac brush and use about 12 each time I do my makeup 🙂
I just own 8 MAC brushes. One for the lips, both skunks and 5 eyeshadow brushes.
Hmmmm…. Around 65.
I own about 89 makeupbrushes about 30 of them are back ups.
I have about 60 at the moment, I went crazy when I found a crown brush sale.. But I’m dying to get more MAC brushes, I love them!
