But the make-up artist at M.A.C told me to buy a brush, so I bought the 269 brush that she told me to buy. The thing is, that brush costs me like 21 eurous (outch!), that is more expensive then the eyeliner. So I bought a cheaper one from Sephora for 9,90 euros. And I am thinking about returning the M.AC. one.
They don't look at all similar, but I think the one from Sephora does what is supposed to do. I did not try the one from MAC because if I did, I could not return it.
So, do you guys think it is that important to have the right brush? Does it make a difference worth the price ?
I have the 266 which is the bigger version of the 269 and it's great, but honestly, unless you really want a slanted brush, return them both, then go to any shop selling paint brushes, and get a number 000. Works very well and it's cheap.
