Very happy Angela Bright basic brush set is back at Sigma at a savings!

What kind of brushes do you use?

I use only short bristled, firm synthetic brushes. I use mineral makeup...and need to "buff" to bring up a sheen.

I do not care for that "matte" look...

For the most part I use Artis brushes for application of facial make up items. I have some sigma for eye makeup and prefer the travel size because they are shorter.

95% of my brushes are Mac.

I have a couple of IT Cosmetics face brushes & 1 Morphe eyeshadow brush.

I have still not found a blush brush that I love. I had to replace my original Mac 109 & I strongly dislike the new 109.

The brushes I use the most are by IT. And agree about needing short firm bristles for my Bare Minerals Bisque. For that I use a Bare Minerals brush. I don't think they make it anymore. It used to come with the bisque. It's like a small kabuki on a stick. LOL

@ECBG I have my original Bobbi Brown brushes, but am replacing them whenever there's a sale. I also have IT and Trish McEvoy brushes. I do have duplicates of all the brushes I use often and some are multipurpose like my IT foundation brush with the two ends. Love that one for foundation, concealer and my cream bronzer and cream blush...I have accumulated 4 or 5 of those at ULTA sales.

Most of my brushes are BK Beauty brushes. I have some IT Cosmetics brushes, some Real Techniques, some ELF. Laura Geller kabukis that I use for her BnB. Have a couple Doll10 that came in kits.

I have so many brushes----most are the ones that come with the make up deals here--I don't use many of them tho and it fact threw out a BE brush that most of the bristles broke and it got to be too pokey to use. Need to ditch about 1/2 of them. Have to say that they are pretty nice ones that cost alot to buy.

Like others here. I have a large assortment of brushes - inexpensive to pricey, from a range of brands. Some have come in kits, some not.

I use a hodge podge of brushes. Bobbi Brown, Mac, Dior, Channel, It cosmetics and BK beauty. they are an investment but worth it.

I use brushes from Bobbi Brown. However, I just received a Foundation brush from Doll 10 that is probably the best brush I have ever owned. It makes for a flawless application. Kind of amazed me this morning.😳 Doris hit it out of the park with her new foundation and this brush. (Was the TSV on HSN)

Currently I have IT, Elf, and Clinique in my arsenal. I'm not loyal to any brand when it comes to brushes.

If anyone is looking for good inexpensive brushes that don't shed, I suggest trying Elf.

I use It Brushes mainly, however I have always used Smashbox #12 Brow brush. It gives great definition to my very sparse brows. I also just started using RMA brow powder & I love it except for the packaging. Difficult to open.

Mostly Trish McEvoy old brushes that last forever. I use them for concealer, and any foundation I put on sparingly. They also make the best "laydown" brush ever for any eye color, also concealer or about anything else.

I also have some Bobbi Brown, two Chantecaille and a few others. None are new but they are well cared for and great.

I use Laura Geller, IT, and Voodoo Makeup. I also have an old Prescriptives blush brush that I use for foundation.

Many years ago a makeup artist doing makeovers (not Prescriptives) recommended using that particular brush for foundation. I have washed it many times and it still looks good! It has a wooden handle.

I purchased a few Bobbi Brown brushes at N. Marcus about 20 years ago and still love them! I also got a set of It brushes as a gift which I rotate with a large set of Bare Minerals brushes which I think are my faves.

I have a variety of styles. A few for the eyes, a buffing brush for my foundation and a few others that I can't think of right now.

I love my IT foundtion brush!
