What brand of brushes do you use?
Hi everyone, I'm looking to add more brushes to my kit. I was wondering what brand brushes do you use? And what is your favorite? Mar 12 09 05:47 pm Link I love my Ve Neil brushes Mar 12 09 05:48 pm Link Smashbox mostly. I love my stainless pro set:) I also use a few Red Earth, Urban, and MUFE. Mar 12 09 07:57 pm Link *too lazy to log in to my makeup profile I've got a lot of Urban Decay brushes (I was really trying to find good brushes with synthetic hair) I also have a selection of paint brushes from the craft store. Those are my favs for a lot of stuff like liner and concealer. I also have one or two of the Sonia Kashuk (sp?) brushes and....am generally also pleased with those. haha. I think I'm quite easy to please when it comes to brushes though. Mar 12 09 09:06 pm Link I'm still loving the set Billy B gave me!  Seriously, the only other brushes I use because I am a pack rat and a creature of habit are a couple of liner, fan brush, and lip brushes I picked up at an art store. Otherwise I have one of those highlighter (black/white) brushes that I like and a couple of random MUFE ones I tend to use a lot of too.Mar 12 09 09:16 pm Link Omigod if you don't mind spending a small fortune on brushes, totally check out Hakuhodo brushes. By FAR the best brushes I have seen yet. Mar 12 09 09:36 pm Link Jhaesayte wrote: True, they are lovely, but they aren't cruelty free:) I'm all for quality brushes, but not at the expense of animals! Mar 12 09 09:49 pm Link I love my Urban Decay brushes. They are fabulous as far as vegan brushes go. I just wish they had more types of brushes. Mar 12 09 09:50 pm Link Jordan Liberty wrote: Ahhh yes true the ARE animal hair. But I still love them and still want them. Mar 12 09 09:51 pm Link Jhaesayte wrote: Well...a lot of brushes are REAL hair. Just depends on how they GOT the hair:) Mar 12 09 09:53 pm Link trish mcevoy, bobbi brown, MUFE, and Laura Mercier sum up the brushes I use most frequently. Mar 12 09 09:57 pm Link Jordan Liberty wrote: Hmm makes me wonder honestly how many companies label themselves as cruelty-free, but are they REALLY? I mean, companies that use animal products might themselves be cruelty free, but maybe the places where they get their ingredients aren't. Really makes one think, doesn't it? So much research to doooooo!!! Mar 12 09 10:00 pm Link I use mostly crown, royal lang & nickel, and "Posh" brushes from harmon drug stores. They are awesome. I also have a few smashbox shadow & concealer brushes that i got for free and they're pretty good. Mar 12 09 10:02 pm Link Elizabeth Gerbino wrote: Ya I like crown. Good brushes for a VERY decent price, easy to take care of too. Mar 12 09 10:05 pm Link Jhaesayte wrote: totally. and they are cheap and quality enough to purchase multiples and not break the bank Mar 12 09 10:06 pm Link Jhaesayte wrote: Why do you think I'm always gunning for Smashbox and Urban Decay? Smashbox wins the PETA award almost every year and UD has just gone vegan! MUFE is my obsession, but I'm not sure if they are or not - anyone know? Mar 12 09 10:24 pm Link Elizabeth Gerbino wrote: TOTALLY!!! Which is OSM if you gotta do like numerous girls with minimal time. Hmmmm now I wanna go on a brush shopping spree. DAMN YOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!! Mar 12 09 10:24 pm Link Jordan Liberty wrote: Good question! I would like to know too! Mar 12 09 10:25 pm Link Mine are a mix of Bobbi Brown, MUFE and Mac ones. I loveee my Bobbi Brown ones specially their fine detailed liner brush. For synthetic I normally use craft store finds and they are great. Mar 12 09 11:02 pm Link I have a little bit of everything, but I almost always reach for my smashbox brushes. they have good snap and retain their shape well with years of use. Mar 12 09 11:19 pm Link Mine are Royal & Langnickel, Nars, Mac, Lise Watier and quite a few from art stores.

Mar 12 09 11:33 pm Link MAC, Adesign, Crown, Elf, Chanel, Ben Nye, and some random cheapies I can't remember the names on them (or they're long gone from cleaning). Mar 13 09 12:49 am Link I love Louise Young brushes. I have hundreds of brushes and I am finding that these are the first ones I pick to use everytime. Mar 13 09 06:47 am Link Crown, MAC, MUFE I always go back to crown because I am a brush hog and I like having alot...they are rediculously inexpensive! Mar 13 09 02:47 pm Link I have quite a few crown that are nice and adesign that i LOVE. a couple of mac, laura mercier, benefit and quite a few craft store ones that i love. I also have a couple of e.l.f. lip brushes that are nice and you cant beat the price. Mar 13 09 02:53 pm Link i use a lot of different brushes from different brands, mac, crown, mufe, lauder, lamcome among others but my fav brushes are the ones from the art store they are MEGA CHEAP and they are awesome specially the ones for liners and lips i cannot live without them also the Adesign brushes are amazing  Mar 13 09 03:06 pm Link I've had my Bobbi brushes for 10 years now, and I shampoo my brushes after every use (as opposed to using alcohol based brush cleaner). Others I have: Shu Uemura Crown (the glue they use is weak) MAC Art Store My new favorite brand: adesign And a actress/model friend of mine turned me on to these-they are completely cruelty free and the softest brushes ever. Even their eyeshadow brushes are synthetic, but they really apply powders like a dream. They are a bit pricey tho (they will give a 20%, but still): www.brandedjcollections.com Mar 13 09 05:51 pm Link -JenniferLynnMakeup- wrote: You must've gotten a funky batch. I've never had problems with the hair falling out! Mar 13 09 08:03 pm Link Eleanor Sabaduquia wrote: The brandedj look gorgeous! Their website is AWFUL though, it doesn't give information on each brush or the sets when you click on them. No larger pic. Blah. If I'm gonna spend $400 on a brush set, I want to be able to SEE them. I loved the opening vid and the cruelty free...maybe if they update their site I'll go for some! Mar 13 09 08:18 pm Link My very favorite brushes are made of squirrel , Id kill em myself for the fur LOL! Mar 13 09 08:43 pm Link has anyone worked with Kevyn Aucoin brushes? I know they are pricey, but worth it??

Mar 15 09 12:52 am Link really there that tasty .............. Bwa Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE you guys! Mar 15 09 01:16 am Link We could go into business... I'll bring you the varmints from my backyard in Tennessee and you can get their little hairs from their tails! Call the brand "ROADKILL BRUSHES" when only the best varmint brushes will do. (i need to go BACK to sleep...)
