Which MAC eye shadow brushes can you not live without??
This is my first post in this community, and I have only recently allowed myself to admire MAC products. I knew what would happen...I want it all. With my 25th birthday coming up I've decided to ditch my scratchy BE shadow brushes and go for the gold. Before I just go and buy them all (which will happen eventually!!), I'm looking to just add 4 or 5 brushes to my collection.
What I'd love to hear from you guys is:
Which brushes do you use on a daily basis?
Which brush do you sometimes use, but couldn't live without?
I'm looking for a brush for my lid, crease, and blending...MAC has so many options!!
Thanks so much in advance!!!

My favorites are:
#213, for general application of my lid & browbone
#224, to blend everything, love this brush
#272, recently discovered this brush 2 months ago and so glad I'm did. It's replacing my beloved #219 because I find it's perfect for my crease and outer V.
#266, this is my liner brush that I use with fluidlines and eyeshadows. A MA used it on me about 2 years ago and I've had it ever since
#219, this brush used to be my favorite for my crease, but I don't reach for it too much anymore, except when I want to smoke out my liner. Still a great brush to have though.

Which brushes do you use on a daily basis? 239, 224 & the 219. I use the 217 often, but not exactly *daily* - but 4 or 5 of the 7 days of the week I DO indeed use it. hehe
Which brush do you sometimes use, but couldn't live without? 217, 272 and I also love the 227 for applying a quick highlight/quickly blending out harsh lines
I was in the same predicament you were; so many choices. My first purchase *eye* brush-wise was the 239, 224 & 217. Couldn't make up my mind. Still my fav. brushes.

Which brush do you sometimes use, but couldn't live without? hmm.. the ones I use daily are the ones I can't live without!
but if I had to choose ONE brush I could not live without, it's the 217! It can do a whole eye look if needed!

Re: Which MAC eye shadow brushes can you not live without??
The brushes I absolutely use on a daily basis are the 242 (for lid work), 272 (for crease), 222 (outer V), 227 (highlight). I almost always use the 224 for blending too, but that can be done with the 222.
Others that I don't use daily but feel like I need are the 217 and 219. I like the 217 for outer V and crease work, and the 219 is great for smudging liner, a defined crease/outer V, and applying color to the lower lashline.

Re: Which MAC eye shadow brushes can you not live without??
I use the 224 and 242 everyday. They are my essentials because if i had to I could do a whole look with just those two brushes.
I use the 224 for a wash of a color underneath my browbone. I also use it for flawless blending and I do mean flawless.
The 242 is very versatile because I use it for my paint pots, pigments and also for eyeshadow. I even use the tip/corners of the brush if I want to apply e/s on my lower lid because the tip of the brush is thin enough.
I have other brushes that I could use too but it I'm in a rush I can reach for both of those brushes and i would be ok
I only have the SE version (mini) of the 242 but I need to invest in the full size
If you are just starting off your MAC brush collection try to invest in a few brushes that will serve dual roles so you can get more bang for your buck.
