MORE PICTURES ADDED AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE

Hi, I hope this is in the right place.

It's helpful sometimes to see actual pictures of brushes, so I decided to do this.

[/IMG]

Crown brushes: eys, small crease, random eye, concealer, lip, med. all-over eye, all-over eye2, brow, foundation (its really flat & nice), spoolie (for brows), eyeliner, large crease brush, angled cheek

[/IMG]

Crown Brushes: Large face, foundatn, angled cheek and bronzer

[/IMG]

Crown brushes: bent eyeliner (the head doesn't come to a tip like the smashbox one) angled eyeliner

[/IMG]

japonesque: flat eye (like the MAC 239), crease (like MAC 224) and fan brush

[/IMG]

size comparison of BillyB brush to MAC and Adesign. they're smaller and lighter, like pencil-light, which is great if you fly with your kit.
all in all, BillyB brushes are a good shape and size

[/IMG]

MAC 188, face atelier blender (very nice), Face Atelier foundation (like MAC 190 and its bristles comes to a point), Art store fan brush (thin and good for applying really pigmented blush, as its not so large), MAC 136 (flat shaped powder, which gives more control in application)

[/IMG]

billy b paintbrush 12: for getting colour under the eye (like a mac 219)

[/IMG]

sephora brush, Sonia Kashuk all-over eye, smashbox crease (very nice), sonia kashuk small eye (for detail), sephora angled eye (also good for contouring nose), Face atelier angled cheek (really soft hair)

[/IMG]

Adesign: foundation, angled eye, eye 1, eye 4, eye 2, pointed foundation (amazing for heavy creme foundation), pointed concealer (really nice), flat eye, angled eye, Powder (nice), cheek (lovely, because its more flat shaped rather than round shaped, which seems better to me for blush application), flat concealer

the Adesign brushes all have their names printed at the bottom. the hair might be synthetic, I'm not sure. If you do get a scratchy brush, sometimes that happens, don't wash it with conditioner (I did, yuck). Instead, comb it.

japonesque white hair kabuki brush; its hairs are tapered, it's beautiful for applying blush and contouring

compared to mac 129 and adesign cheek brush

mac 192 compared to a foundation brush

winsor and newton series 240, size 3: excellent powder and blending brush

[/IMG]

Billy B brushes: 13 (great for all-over finishing up),8 (crease brush), 4(contour and small blush), 6 (eye & detailed work like contouring nose etc), 12 ( which is a different shaped brush that works like a MAC 219)

Fab collection, I'm drooling over all of them! Especially the aDesgin and Japonesque brushes.

 

[naijapretty]

thanks, Japonesque brushes are amazing. A-design is really good for synthetic brushes and if you use cream-based foundation, then you seriously need to get either Billy B's foundation brush of A-design pointed foundation brush. Will be posting pics of my new Makeup Designory brushes (MUD) and comparisons btw MAC 165, 168 and crown and face atelier angled cheek brushes today

 

[naijapretty]

Contour Brushes: MAC 165, Billy B paint brush 4, MAC 109. The BB paint brush has a smaller head than 109

[/IMG]

Crease brushses: Smashbox no.15, Makeup Designory brush 800, Japonesque 232 brush, MAC 224, 222, Billy B paintbrush 8. the MUD crease brush has a smaller head that comes to a point than the 224, so it's somewhat comparable to the 226, the BB no.8 has the smallest head and is my fave for crease brush and the japonesque and 224 are exactly the same, the japonesque is cheaper and probably better made.
