makeup brushes! — I HAZ THEM. and I’m assuming you do too. I’m gonna go out on a limb (not really) and guess that you have much more than a few brushes in your collection, so tell me, friend, which makeup brushes do you always use, and which ones do you never (or very rarely) touch?
First of all, I’m much pickier about eye brushes than I am about face brushes, which I think is because my lids are sensitive, and I have absolutely no patience for scratchy stuff on my skin.

I think there are numerous great eye brushes out there, but I typically end up grabbing a brush from MAC (one of the O.G. ones from back before they revamped their makeup brush line with synthetic brushes, which IMO don’t carry out well enough to justify their price), NARS or Chanel, because they’re the softest ones I have, and I love how they blend.
Here are the brushes I seem to always use the most…
MAC 221 small Tapered Blending Brush
MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush
MAC 217 Domed Eyeshadow Brush
NARS #42 Blending Eyeshadow brush (Super great! I think it’s better than the MAC 224.)
Chanel Retractable Dual-Tip Eyeshadow Brush
NARS #45 Smudge Brush
NARS #47 angled brush
And while it isn’t an eye brush, the real techniques Buffing brush is one I use every single day for buffing down foundation.

As for the brushes I never use, hmm… I hardly ever reach for large, poofy powder brushes because I don’t wear a lot of powder, and I think they’re hard to control. I choose powder and blush brushes with smaller brush heads.

That’s me. how about you? Which makeup brushes do you always use, and which ones do you never (or very rarely) touch?
