MAC brushes are hands down the best I've used so far... Sephora Professional (the slightly more expensive ones than their regular line) and Lise Watier are pretty good too especially considering the price!
I'm quite disappointed in the BE brushes because my kabuki (the full coverage + semi coverage) always leave hair on my face...  |

| I don't know how to vote.. but I will definitely recommend Bobbi's. MAC artists used their brushes to apply the testers on me, they just shreded crazily!!! |

| I only have 2 brushes and both are wonderful. First, MAC blush brush I've had for almost 7 years now and works beautifully. The second, NARS powder foundation brush. Not sure if that's the actual name but it's the big fat brush. I've had it for almost a year and love it; works great for applying powder foundation giving an even coverage. It's a bit pricey for me, $50 but worth every penny. Hope that helps. |

I bought the new Clinique antibacterial brushes. They are dipped in a solution that is keeps them from breeding bacteria. Meaning less breakouts. Im sure that there are better brushes out there but these are decent and I dont wear a ton of makeup so they serve their pourpose. I paid about 45$ for two es brushes, an eyeliner brush and a blush brush, they also came with a cute little case for storage. When I get more serious about investing Im sure I'll buy a better brand but, for what these are I think it was money well spent.  |

All my brushes are Trish McEvoy.
Love them! Super soft, and have lasted forever (7+ years) despite the fact that I treat them pretty poorly.
The only non-TM brush I have is Laura Mercier's concealer brush. But that's just because I bought it ages ago when I got their concealer. It's also a nice brush, but it just doesn't look as nice, IYKWIM. |

| Most of my brushes are from BB. They're very soft and natural, and so far I haven't experienced any shedding. To be honest, I love Shu Uemura brushes the most, but out of all 3 (BB, Shu, MAC) Shu brushes are the most expensive here in Thailand whereas BB and MAC are roughly the same prices (maybe $1-2 difference in price), so I went for BB. However, if I wore makeup more often, I would definitely invest on Shu brushes. But since I only wear makeup less than 10 times a year, BB works just fine for me. |

| I agree with the posters who said Japonesque are good brushes. I would like to buy their kabuki brush because the one that came with the BE mineral makeup kit hurts!! Also, they sometimes go on sale at ULTA and you can get them at 20% with the coupon if you're on their mailing list. |

| But if you want to go pricier, MAC brushes are awesome. I love their oversized powder and blush brushes. |

| I'm very sad my Armani blush #1 has been discontinued. It was the perfect shade for me. Now I'm back to searching. |

I know this sounds a bit weird, but I use painter's brushes. Since I purchase a lot of art supplies, it is amazing the range of brushes you can get from a large art retailer. Many art brushes come with really long handles, but you can find short ones or cut the long ones down. There are some wonderful Japanese brushes that are amazingly soft and hands down they make the best eye liner brushes.
Oh, and they are a lot cheaper! |

| I have really only one brush I use, my MAC brush for blush which I have had for at least 5 years and I absolutely love it. It has never shed on me and its great. However, I haven't taken very good care of it so now I am thinking about trying to clean it but I am not sure if that will hep given that I have never done so before and have had it for 5 years. Anyone have any idea about cleaning an older brush...is it still worth it? |

The thought that you've been using the same brush for 5 years without washing it at all kinda scares me. I think it's worth giving it a wash and see how it turns out. It might still work just fine. Make sure you clean it well though and don't forget to condition it |
