I hope MAC rereleases the 226. I really want it, and I cannot for the life of me find an EXACT dupe.
A friend of mine is a mac trainer, and she said the Laura Mercier eye crease brush is just alike, if not a bit better. I really love the results I get when I use it.
Thanks! I’ll be sure to check it out next time I go to Target. (:
I don’t think you will find Laura Mercier at Target lol. Don’t you have to get that at like a department store? It’s like a high-quality department store. Target has Sonia Kashuk though!

I’ve just started building up a set of brushes. I got a Sephora brush set for xmas, it’s a good start! The only brush I have duplicates of is a face powder brush, but they’re different sizes anyway so I suppose it doesn’t count.

I try not to get any dupes, there are so many brushes out there and there might be an ‘even better one’
And people keep mentioning dupes of their favourite or most popular brushes, slight variations on the same brush probably wont do anything
None. I spent a lot of money and thinking picking out my brushes, and I made sure not to get brushes I already have. Brushes are expensive!
Hands down eye shadow. Mostly loew cornell maxines mop 3/8th in. But I have many Mary Kay and NYX brushes too.

I am wondering what foundation brush people like the best and why.
I have collections from Sigma,Estee Lauder,Lancome,Guerlain,Sephora,and Clinique. I think that about covers it. These are full collections, with 2-4 of some, in the same collections. Too many, I know, I always have extras.
5 Revlon Professional All-Over Color Eyeshadow Brushes;
2 Revlon Professional Contour Color Eyeshadow Brushes;
2 Smashbox 15 Contour Brushes;
2 Lancome Blending Brushes;
2 Estee Lauder 11E Blending Brushes; and
3 elf Powder Brushes (from their Studio Line).
There are more duplicates in my MU brush collection but these are brushes I reach for the most often.
