I love my 109, it is great & my MA taught me many uses r

I use it to buff foundation/tm for an "airbrushed" look, use it to buff in blush, use it to apply highlighting powder on my cheekbones & nose, great for buffing cream products...I also like my 242.

 

[PrettyKitty]

My favorites are #187 and #272.

The 182 is the kabuki.

 

[anuy]

182 (the kabuki), 222 for crease, it's my HG crease brush, 272 is also great as a kind of all around brush. If I'm going away for a short time and dont want to take a bunch of stuff (or if I'll want to apply more make-up later at night and can't come home), this is the one I bring. It can put color on the lid, crease, and browbone well

I'm also partial to the 209 (esp for fluidliners), but it looks like you already have some good eyeliner brushes.

i LOVE my 222 it's good for defining in your crease and blending.... and i 2nd the 239 it's really good for lustres to pack on color... instead of making it look like it's caked on...

 

[brandi]

168 and 192 is great!!!!

Hey Missy,

I love the 239 though in regards to the 272, I prefer the 275 myself - perhaps because I have big eyes and I find this helps blend a little better overall.
The 129 is great, I actually use it for dusting off excess shadow or major blending of the eye area. It is a little small for a blush brush IMO but nonetheless still a good brush.
The 180 is a must have. If this is all you order, get this one for sure. Better than the 187 for blending foundation, imo.
I dont own the 136 or the 192 so I don't know what to say other than I can't afford them right now

The 168 is one of my faves. I really think it is a must have.

Hope this helps!! Can't wait to see - post a pic! I am a major brush nut, too!

 

[warships]

239 and 224

 

[electrostars]

I don't own any MAC brushes, I'm too cheap to buy any. XD

Although, I'm planning on buying some when I get me taxes back..What are some good eyeshadow brushes that I should get?

Thanks!
