Inexpensive Makeup Brushes!!!!!!!!

OK, so I am really annoyed. When I first started using BE I fell in love with their "heavenly" face brush. It was supposed to be heavenly for the application of the foundation. Well, this brush is comparable in price (nowhere near quality) to MAC brushes. It cost 30.00.

Well, after seeing Crown brush on Hautelook, I checked out their site. I noticed many of the BE brushes (if not all) on their site. This EXACT brush sells for 6.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been looking into them and reviews. I know many companies use this Crown to make their brushes. You can also go there and develop your OWN brush and design. These are inexpensive brushes, basically like buying the same expensive brushes from name brand makeup companies, at a wholesale price.

So, I just wanted to let you know about this site/company in case you are looking for some inexpensive brushes. OR, if you love BE brushes, you can buy them for MUCH cheaper here. I have to say I am a bit disgusted (once again) in how much of a markup there is in makeup companies.

Their studio pro line has brushes that look almost identical to some of the popular MAC brushes. Although I am not saying they are, or that MAC uses them to make their brushes. But a brush that is nearly identical for less than 10 dollars compared to 30 dollars and up......it is your choice.

I also found a set of brushes that is made by Encore Makeup (a YouTube guru/makeup artist) who works with Crown brush. He developed the line himself and comprised it solely on "dupes" of the popular MAC brushes. There are 12 or 15 brushes which come in a nice apron style (or messenger bag) holder with a long strap. It sells for 50.00. However, I am not seeing it on the site right now. His YT page says it is sold out.

Just an FYI ladies. I have never purchased these brushes because I thought they looked cheap. But after looking into it further, and all their different lines, I am going to place an order. Their flat top brush looks NICE. They also have one that looks like the NARS, little, flat, buki brush.

Sorry so long.

Oh, and they also go on Hautelook regularly. SO, already inexpensive brushes are another HALF off when on Hautelook!!! I saw a NICE set that I kept looking at when they were on for THIRTY dollars!!!! Like 12-15 brushes. I mean, for the price of ONE, BE brush. Ugh.
