recommendation for make up brushes

[NameOfTheNick]

I need some new make up brushes (foundation,powder and blush) any suggestions for some good quality ones that don't cost the earth?
I'd love a mac brush set but are they really worth the expense?

Real Techniques are good - so sometimes they're part of Boots' 3 for 2. I love the stippling foundation brush

The real techniques sets would be good to get you started and they're often included in the 3 for 2 offers in Boots

Real Techniques are superb. They are easily as good as the most expensive on the market.
