Crown brush do some amazing decent quality brushes, I particularly like the delux oval foundation brush , and the eyeshadow blending brush c443 it's identical to the mac 217 which my favourite blending brush .

For foundation and blushers I also like real techniques , they can be found in boots quite often in the 3 for 2 deals.

However my favourite brushes are Mac personally , I could nt live without the 209 and 210 for eyeliner and a 266 for brows etc . So I see them as an investment , good quality brushes will last a lifetime if taken care of , so I buy one at a time when I'm in mac .

I have a lot of mac, real techniques and sigma brushes and I have loads of crown as back ups and ones I like to have multiples of! If you take care of good quality brushes they will last such a long time and they are easier to work with too!

Just my opinion... but I actually don't think that MAC brushes are worth the money anymore when you have excellent brands like Sigma, Crown and bdellium all at a much lower price. (Not to say they're not good brushes because they are, but there's others of comparable quality and lower price. Plus now that MAC animal test, I don't buy them anymore anyway and will probably sell the brushes I do have on ebay!

I think my favourite brushes are Furless, bdellium and Real Techniques. But I also love Sigma brushes, they're excellent. Crown brushes are also very good and very reasonable and you can apply for a pro discount.

If you had to pick one favorite brand out of those what would it be?

I also think the mac brushes are overpriced with the markup that goes on them for retail

If you are a MUA you can get a pro card and get the brushes and make up for 30% off I think or not sure if all countries are the same.
I have not heard of crown but sounds good, always nice to hear of new products and companies.

I bought some real techniques brushes today and was impressed with the result. Makeup looked and felt different using then to apply! Im not make up trained (yet) but have a flare for it and hope to do it within the yr, just be dating which company to go with! But I'm very happy with my purchase! Which was also on offer excellent!
