Sonia rates the MAC makeup brushes although they are pricey.

which brushes - 08-09-08, 11:33 PM

Hi there

I am a beauty therapist and do makeup alot.

my recommendations are:

The ones I use are from Barbara Bort which is an italian company and the products are mineral. though they cost £79 for a 12 piece set.

Ebay, have Mac brush set for £22.00 with free p&p but not sure if there genuine.

Bobby brown is a good brand too but you are looking at around the same price as my supplier Barbara Bort or maybe a bit more.

I have the Clinique brush range (got them free when I worked for them) they are fab. Bobbi Brown, Mac and Clinique are all owned by Estee Lauder, but the brushs are made from seperate factories. They sell a spray on brush cleaner and every other week I was them in luke warm water without any solution (apparently thats how these one's should be cleaned). Plus they aren't that expensive.

Hiya, pro makeup brushes sell a good set that come in a brush roll with makeup bag and a makeup book. I got mine from college about a year ago and theyr still brilliant condition. You can buy online or £90 which isnt cheap but worth the money as they last for ages.
Or MAC, theyv'e got a great reputation!

I use Lancome, Mac and Bare Minerals. I have use Lancome brushes for a long time and find that they are very good. The other day I bought a couple from Sainsburys, the champhaneys and thought they were good.

Give Pro Makeup Brushes a try. Really professional quality (like MAC) and a fraction of the price. The website is www.promakeupbrushes.co.uk and they are only £90 for the set. Or you can buy one or two at a time by Ruby & Millie, they are fab too!
