QotD...Makeup Brushes Part 1

Thursday, August 20, 2009
First off in the series of makeup brush questions...
Do you use makeup brushes for your whole face- face, cheeks, eyes, lips? Mmm...Makeup brushes are my crack too! I love them. I have so many...cheap ones, expensive ones, vegan ones, plastic ones! I wanted to do a series of QotD's on them since they are so awesome and glorious! (My love for brushes borders on creepy, right?)
Makeup brushes are how I even got into makeup. Before I used them, I just swiped a color on...didn't care that much. I personally don't think that you can create the same type of looks with sponges.
I use brushes for my foundation, blush, and eyes. I never use one for lips...I usually just swipe it on! I actually have a few Aveda lip brushes that I use for eyes, mostly lining or if I want a small swipe of color!

MAC are my fave..but i've been branching out to different brands.

I do everything but lips with a brush (I wear gloss, so I don't need it). I am very, very picky about my brushes, though, so I don't have that many. I literally use the same exact brushes every day and only really bust out the extras for special occasions.

Now that EDM is pissing me off, though, I don't know where I'll get my brushes! Any tips from others as to good brands that are affordably but durable would be appreciated!

I use brushes for everything.
Lips included!!
EVEN MY MASCARA!!

I currently own 26,I'm going to say MAC brushes??
Yeah that's a lot of MAC brushes I know.
But I bought them all together as a set.
From the MAC PRO Store when I had a MAC PRO Student Card.
All except for the VERY famous 226 brush.
And the other limited edition Blonde Brunette Redhead Collection for MAC.
[[ I'm too lazy to go check it ]]

They all stay neatly in my MAC Brush Roll.
Only coming out when there needed.

I have a love affair with them.
There the best brushes I could ever ask for.
BEST GRADUATION PRESENT EVER!!!

If you want to get makeup brushes.
I totally suggest getting MAC.
There in my oppinion affordable.
Durable.
And reliable.

Peace Love && Lipstick

I use brushes for face, cheeks, eyes, and occasionally lips. Every once in a while I'll use a flocked sponge for my face if I really want heavy coverage, but not very often.

I LOVE face brushes! Especially stipple ones for that airbrush look.

I love brushes and use them for everything except for lips; I rarely use a brush for that.
