Cheap makeup brushes.

[xosarahbabiox]

So I bought MAC Mineralize skinfinish Natural...just to try it out and I need to buy a good brush for it.

I need something very fluffy, very dense, and very soft. Someting that WILL NOT shed or bleed, n that will last me a while. I checked out Coastal Scents and their shit sheds....and is scratchy from what i read.

HELP!!!


*prays Attentionwhore comes in here*

Never tried. I have a brush from the Body Shop and it is so SOFTTT. But not cheap.

You know I can't stay away from makeup threads.

I would say the best thing for that would be the MAC 129, you get the right amount of MSF on there and putting it on is easy, you don't need something really densly packed like a kabuki because that's better suited to blushes as it packs the colour on.

However, if that's too pricey then the eco-tools brushes are pretty good as the Sonia Kashuk ones, we don't get them in the UK but she does have nice ones. Also, Crown brushes are good but go for the Badger line as they are the best

bare minerals has gotten really good reviews on it's kabuki brush.

And my favourite eyeshadow brush broke last night, I jammed the top back on and it's just come apart in my hands again. It killed me to chuck it away even though it was free in the first place *cries*

[xosarahbabiox]

the 129.... what aboout the 187 stippler brush? thats what the girl at mac used to apply it on me.

are those brands u mentioned online and can ship to the US?

[AttentionWhore]

I think you can buy Sonia K and Crown in the shops over there.

129 is the skunky looking brush isn't it? I use that to apply my liquid foundation because it blends it perfectly and picks up the right amount of liquid. I would never use it to apply powder but the website suggests doing that. The reason she used that brush is probably because they don't keep different brushes for different things, like all foundations (powder or liquid) are applied with one brush, all lip stuff with another brush etc..

I'd get a basic powder brush as that's all the MSF is, MAC have stupid names for regular products and it confuses people. Mineralised skin finish? What's so hard about saying powder?

Lol is the Mineralize skinfinish even a mineral powder?

And the 129 (when i typed it in on google) is a kind of fluffy all black brush.

I don't think they shed and even if it does atleast you haven't spend a fortune on it.

The MSF looks like a mineral powder to me or like the solid liquid to powder foundations, I just don't think the 187 would be good with it. You could buy a 187 dupe and see how you get on with that

attentionwhore. i need me a good bronzing brush, recommendations?

[TwiSted_]

come to think of it, just take me make up shopping with you.

[AttentionWhore]

I like the NARS bronzer brush though it is costly and I have to make myself use it so it's worth the money but I also use it as a powder applier or when I was a really light wash of all over highlighter.

What I would do with bronzer is apply it with fingers and blend and then buff it out until all you see is a fine shine, use a Kabuki to buff it out



That's the bronzer brush I have and it comes in at £42.00, the most expensive brush I own but it makes application effortless.

My kabuki is just a standard one from Boots.

Try Sephora.. most of my make up brushes are from there, they'v lasted me ages and they'r reallly good...they feel sooo soft on ur skin as well
