For the eyes I think these are essential:
266 for lining
217 stiffer blending brush
224 softer blending brush
239 applying/packing on color to lids

For the face I love:
182 overall blending/buffing of products plus mineral makeup application
187 for liquid foundation application or blush application (you need two, haha)

I don't own any lip brushes!

Face: Depends on what foundation you use. I use studio tech foundation and use the 190 brush for it.

Eyes-
239 for packing the colour on the lid
217, 222 and 224 for applying colour to the crease and blending
219 or 228 to apply colour to the lower lashline
224 to apply highlight colour
263 or 266 applying eyeliner or doing you're brows
Cheeks
I use the 116 or 129

hope this helps

168 - I use this to contour and to put on blush

If u want a brush for contouring I think this is your best bet

239 - As everyone says this is great for packing on colour, I always use this brush its great

219 - This is a great brush for use on the lower lash line

i'd definitely recommend the:

eyes:
272 brush - it's like the 239 brush except it's angled so it's easier to get the inner corners of your eyes (and it's only available at freestanding mac stores)
217 brush - blending brush
266 brush - angled eyeliner brush or you could try the 209 if you're more used to a fine tip eyeliner brush

face:
187 - my HG brush. i use it for everything on my face except contouring
168 - contouring brush
