Rec your favorite makeup brushes

[picksthemusic]

I'm doing my birthday/Christmas wishlist (we do this in my DH's family), and I'd love some new makeup brushes. What brand do you use and why do you love them? I have some Mac ones and love them, but I had a perfume spilling accident in my makeup bag a couple years ago, and the paint got eaten off the handles and now they look all gross. I've been using them, but I'd love a new set that look nice and don't smell like old perfume.

MAC brushes are my fav

They're super durable and amazing. There's also a huge selection on types of brushes too.

the 217 eye shadow brush is my favorite for eye shadows

This. They usually do a limited ed pack for Christmas too, but it sells out fast.

mary kay. i've used the same set for almost 10 years. the only reason i am using a new set was because i became a consultant and got a set for free.

Well, the only one I love enough to rec, they appear to have discontinued! I swear, I liked Benefit, but now they've done everything they can to make me choose a new make-up brand by getting rid of 90% of my basic/must haves!

I have sets by both MAC and Trish McEvoy, and I adore both. I have a few other random brushes, but none are nearly as durable as those two brands.

It makes me :-( when something that works for me gets discontinued. Benefit is especially guilty of this. But, I do really like some of their new stuff. Not all, but some.

I have several from Sephora that I really like, and a few from MAC as well. I have been just as happy with my Sephora ones. They always have sets for decent prices as well.

I've heard really good things about Sigma, but I haven't tried them.
