Originally Posted by Trisha 2B is divine, i dont know how i lived without it, it really does deposit the perfect amount of colour! i've tried it with NARS & Stila blushes so far and the application is gorgeous! Okay, I'll have to get it then. Is it anything like MAC's 116 because I have that, but I wnat a similar brush with softer bristles.
 
Originally Posted by Trisha its way way softer, MACs brushes just cant even compare to TM, no way.
2b is kinda like Stila #24, maybe slightly flatter, and a touch softer, i think you still need it tho! LOL x

Cool, I'm after one like the MAC 116 though too because it's slanted.
 
Originally Posted by Trisha maybe they do have an angled blush brush, im not sure, theres so many, we'll have to look in London when we go. would you have objections to getting that coach to london that costs £1?? it takes 4 hours or something but i'd rather notpay £30 for the train! I know someone who uses the coach service at work, its deffo legit! LOL I've heard about this before, but I'll check out train prices because sometimes early bookings are cheaper, obviously not that cheap but eight hours travelling would be a really long time in one day.

Thanks for the helpful thread Laura!

ive gotten some great deals on Trish brushes on ebay!!

 
I like

  • #10 - good for applying e/s all over the lid, or just stroking because it's so soft
  • #29 - blender brush, smaller than Stila #9, good for applying or blending in the crease
  • #48 - like Trisha said, good for highlighter and shimmery face producst as it doesn't apply too much. It's also great for blending blush, and blending the colour on your whole eye area
 
Thanks. Can't wait for the pics. xxx

  • #48 Highlighter Brush - great for applying h.l powders at the top of the cheekbones

Hi Janelle and all,I'm new here...so I hope this goes through right. I was wondering if those of you who buy the artist brushes (craft store) can share how you decide which brushes will work well?

Thanks in advance!

hi brinn. welcome to mut!
if you are able to, check out the professional makeup brushes at mac or something. that way you know what to look for in art store brushes.

and sinc most makeup brushes are made with animal hair, try looking for those when you buy the art store ones.
