More Brush Love – Makeup and Glow Brushes
As you know by now, I’m a major brush junkie. I probably have around 150 makeup brushes, with about 100 on regular rotation in my kit. It helps out on jobs when I don’t have time to be sanitizing brushes in between faces and also if I have a busy week and no time to wash them it means I still have some in my belt. My favourite ones I have multiples of which helps out too and when they get old I use them for creative work involving body paint and products that stain or damage brushes.
I was given a set of Makeup and Glow brushes at the end of 2010 and have loved them ever since. These brushes are remarkably well priced for the quality of them, they are on par with MAC in terms of brush quality and durability. The foundation brush is probably the best flat foundation brush I have ever used and the white goat hair brushes are nothing short of brilliant. Pricing is between $10 and $30 per brush which is insanely good value, or you can buy them in a set of 24 brushes for less than $300. I bought a set for my mum and she adores them, and I’ve recommended them to so many other makeup artists and students about to start their makeup training and they love them just as much as I do.
I’ve compiled a list of my top 11 (couldn’t cut one out to bring it down to 10, I’m sorry!) for you, and I think if you are an everyday consumer and you had no other brushes and just the 11 I’ve mentioned you would get by happily. After over two years of solid work (they would get used and washed around 4 times a week) they are still in tip top condition and I expect to have them for a few more years before slowly starting to replace them which I will have no hesitation in doing. For pricing please see the M&G Website and the girls will be able to answer any questions you have also.
Have a fabulous week everyone!
