213 - also good for applying and blending eyeshadow
239 - softer/fluffier brush, so i use it for applying my highlight and blending the rest of my eyeshadow up into my browbone.

#217 - great for concealer, blending eyeshadows, adding highlights all over the face
#239 - best classic shadow brush ever, so soft
#187 - the nicest brush, good for foundation, bronzer, powders, blush, MSF's, both cream and powder products. Loves it
#191 - the new foundation brush, the square tip just does it for me
and #266/#208 - those darn angle brushes just do everything tricky for you!

! for powder, makeup, blush, and everything!
i use it mostly for powders and sometimes blush but always to blend my whole make up together. id marry this brush one day.
187 - my champion! best foundation brush ever created, its the best for liquid makeup and was made for that. some ppl like to lay blush and msf's with that one too.

eye brushes , which is very individual pickin by laying technique

187- I use it for everything. Foundation, powder, highlight, blush, blending, everything. I'm pretty sure that this brush could cure the common cold if we could figure out a way to turn it into medicine.
182- My other go-to for powder and blending. Really gives a seamless finish.
217- For blending shadows, this is it. It also does a pretty good job of putting color in the creases, if you prefer a more dispersed look.
219- The workhorse of the eye set. Lower liner, crease, upper liner, outer v, inner v....name it, it can do it. If 187 cures colds, 219 cures the flu.
239- My go-to for pigments (few though I may have!)This one really gives great payoff for not so much pickup.

Re: name 5 brushes one can't live without

I don't do a lot in terms of eyes, so mine are all face brushes:

187 - for lightly placing products
169 - for strategic blush/highlight placement
182 - to buff it all together
