not sure about just a brush but the Benefit 'Brow-zings' eyebrow kit is great. there's 2 little brushes in that and it lasts ages.

thanks for the reply but i've got the powder just need a new brush!

The Bobbi Brown eyebrow brush is great but expensive. I find it really easy to use and it makes my eyebrows look natural (they are so blonde you can barely see them if I don't put some brown eyeshadow through them). As I use it pretty much everyday I think the cost was justified!

bigfairy how much is it? i was hoping not to spend too much but i supose the better ones are more expensive!

The BB one gets my vote too.

BigFairy · 24/07/2012 18:49

I got it in the basic brush collection, but I think it's probably around £20.

I use this one and it does the job for me.

Second Bobbi Brown... not sure if it's specifically an eyebrow brush the one I was sold, but it's bevelled and stiff and great.

I was just about to recommend the exact same one as DouzeQuinze.

I bought the Body Shop Eybrow Kit, which has a little stiff brush, with a thin soft one on the other, but I find the stiff one way to harsh. So I bought the Ecotools eyeliner brush, and it's fab :)

I have Brow-zings as my eyebrows are becoming unrulier as I get older so I need the wax but DD uses the BB one and it is very good when I pinch it

I think you usually get what you pay for with brushes, cheap ones are often a false economy.

Eco-tools do a really nice angled brush. Not too expensive and available in Boots.

QuinnFabray · 24/07/2012 23:51

Ah, DouzeQuinze, you linked to it already! I prefer it to a MAC one, and a Chantecaille one that I've tried.

QuinnFabray · 24/07/2012 23:53

I should read threads before I reply. I THIRD the eco-tools one! I got it in a kit they do for about £15, and I love the blusher brush and the eyebrow comb that comes in it too. Great brand for the price!

The no7 eyeliner brush, I just use it for brows not eyeliner.

KandyBarr · 25/07/2012 09:47

I use this Mac one: expensive but highly effective and I've had it for a decade and it's still going strong (Some of my other Mac brushes are nearly 15 years old)

swooosh · 25/07/2012 09:50

I've had one from Anastasia Brow's Beverley Hill's for years now. I picked it up from Sephora. One end is a bristle comb brush and the other is a slanted brush.

MAC #266 - also the perfect brush for applying gel liner or eyeshadow along lash line.
