Exactly this. That's why I have two 187s and a few dupes of e/s brushes.

I have 2 x 217...I use one for regular powder shadows/blending and one for creamy products (paintpots, occasionally concealer, etc.)

i have doubles of

190
168
150
187
129
116
224
225
212
222
219
239
192
279
213
316

The eyeshadow brushes I have doubles of because sometimes when I'm doing an eye look using dark and light colors I dont really want the color to look different when I apply it if it gets mixed up on the same brush,I dont know, that's just my thing. As for face brushes same thing I will use one blush color, one brush a contour color, different brush, highlighter another brush etc. but sometimes the same brush works for me but again dont want to mix colors on the brush. I know I'm weird, lol.

2 - 217
3 - 239

I need to pick up an additional 217 and a second 219 and 242. I have a Sephora dupe of the 219, but it's not as precise and the bristles are scratchy.

I like to use multiple brushes when doing my eyes, and try to keep darker colors on one, lighter on another as I don't wash my brushes every day.

I buy multiples so I can use one for darker colours and another for lighter...especially if I spot wash. I don't want darker make up smeared into my lighter blends (eyeshadow). But thats usually the reason for buying mulitiples....never really for face, contour or blush unless one is specifically for a powder and another for liquid or cream.

2 x 219 - one for deep colored shadows; the other for lighter colors
2 x 187 - one for foundation and one for blush/msfs

OMG, I have just about 2 of every brush that MAC has ever made, 5 or 6 of each Sonia Kashuk white handle brushes and 2 of each Sonia Kashul black handle brush. Here's a pic of just my dirty brushes.
