Favorite MAC Brushes?

[Jennifer Mcfly]

I love the 239, it packs on alot of color, way better then the 242 imo! Also, I love both the 272 and 275. The 272 is good for a more precise application, like if you want a very sharp outer V and the 275 is good if you want a softer outer V. What I like about both the 272 and 275 is they really are great all around brushes depending on the angle you hold them. They are great brushes for traveling as well b/c they do so many things

As far as face brushes go from MAC I only have the 180 and 187...

I only have 1 brush from Mac the #213 ***hides under the desk**** all of my brushes are mostly Stila, but non of them can beat the #213 it's the most versalite brush, I sould live only with this one!

I love my 187 for MSF and 116 blush brush (its my current love!).

272 - great for crease work
219 - great pencil liner for smoking out
187 - wonderful for cream makeup as well as powders and MSF
222 - great for blending
239 - great for packing on color
190 - great for cream and liquid foundations
180 - great for buffing out foundation (although mine sheds a bit, it really airbrushes the look)
Catherine Deneuve kabuki - love this for powders

I love my 224. It really helps my blending *not that you need any assistance with that*
My other faves are 225 great for a wash of colour, my 187 for Blushcremes, and My 182 for buffing my MSF. I have other kabukis but this is in a league of it's own.

MAC Brushes I can't live without- (the ones you don't have anyway)

#219 - pencil-brush. awesome for crease definition and for smoking out lower lashline liner.
#224 - best blending brush! love it.
#239 - best brush packing e/s on lid. makes colour bright!
#242 - awesome for applying paints/CCBs. and for e/s lid application.
#228 or #316 - both are awesome as lip brushes.

#116- blush brush
#190 - for foundation

For me, its my 242. I use it for everything: shadows, ccb, paints, concealer... I can't function without it

Re: name 5 brushes one can't live without

[FONT=&quot]i ran into this site when I searched on the mac 180 brush, now im a member

i guess im gonna have to try the 190 based on this topic. anyway, i figure i'd add my 5 too just so someone might do a search for a particular brush too & find this site too.

239 for fluidline or for packing on pigments on small asian eyes
242 for packing on e/s pigments (good for smaller eyelids too like mine)
208 for brows
180 for blending my mineral foundation like a dream & for liquid too
219 for the outer v & blending[/FONT]
