Buying Brushes

[sitasati]

Hi guys! I just started to buy full size mac brushes. So far I have 209 (my first mac brush

), 217 and 252 which was a mistake since I wanted the 242 to apply my goldspice metal x cream but the MA gave me the 252 and I never look at the total before swiping my debit card lol. But anyway ...I wanted to know what other mac brushes do you guys think are worth buying for normal day to day eye makeup application ?

I was considering getting the 239 ..because the 252 does a horrible job of applying any cream product. So I might end up returning the 252 I dunno. So anymore recs??

Thanks!

I would sleep with the 224 and 272 if they were life-size.

My favorite eye brushes are:
217, 219, 222, 224, 227, 239, 242, 252, 266 and 275.

I would highly recommend any of the above!

Have fun making your choice!

I'm still a newbie with the eye makeup. I dont wear foundations or blushes.. I started out with this lil bit of heaven for brushes.....

these are my faveorite eye brushes:
213 for applying eyeshadoe to lid
217 for applying eyeshadow to crease
224 for blending eyeshadows plus applying highlight to browbone
266 for fluidline
242 for applying fluidlines/paintpots as bases
i suggest you return the 252 iof you don't like it. I heard that the applicator blush that is promoted with the metal x shadows is great for applying them.
