Recommendations for decent make up brushes

[atticusclaw]

I am sick of trying to use my expensive space NK brushes. They are hands down the worst make up brushes I have ever bought and moult everywhere. I therefore need new ones. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Zoeva.

The brushes are the best I've ever used. Also reasonably priced and delivery is quick even though they're in Germany.

I'll take a look. Never heard of Zoeva!

zoeva! They're brilliant and cheap!

I came on to recommend Real Techniques brushes but I might have a google of the Zoeva ones now!

I use a brush to apply my foundation. It's from MAC and again it's a moulter.

Every morning in the car my DS picks my beard off while I drive.

Which ones are recommended for foundation?

Me too Wallybanters. I cannot believe how much my MAc foundation brush moults. Black whiskers are standard every morning!

real techniques are great. I use the foundation one, no moulting at all and I've used it everyday for a year.

Interesting re Zoeva, I have never heard of them. Despise my Real Techniques blusher brush.

Do the zoeva ones moult cherry?

why do you despise the real techniques brush motley?

Ecotools. Available from Boots and I swear by them. I've converted my Mac addict friend - they are wonderful

motley it's awful isn't it? Worst blusher brush ever.

Zoeva are a small German company that have really taken off in the last few years after being discovered by beauty bloggers and MUAs.

I'm a makeup artist and my kit is almost all Zoeva brushes.

Whoever asked about a foundation brush their 102 Silk Finish Face Brush is my holy grail. It's ridiculously soft and dense. No moulting at all.

cherry is one type of zoeva brush better than the others? There seem to be a few different ranges?

I am not entirely sure what the exact problem is with the RT blusher brush, but I think it's just a bit too big and the bristles too tightly packed. It just doesn't work. My mother has an Estee Lauder one bought years ago that is just perfect - I am tempted to buy an EL one in the hope it'll be the same.

i really like the body shop brushes

Oooooh Cherry stay and tell us loads of things...

I've never met a make up artist before. I want to bask in your expertise and glamour....

I use a no 7 foundation brush and it's great. Never lose anything from them. And got primark blusher brushes!!! They are amazing believe it or not. The sales woman at clinique recommended them

Real Techniques are the best, I prefer them over my Mac ones. They are cheaper on Amazon if you have a look. The buffering brush is really good for foundation!

My boots own brushes recommended years ago are still going strong, soft and never moult.

Another vote for ecotools, their foundation brush is great, as is their big fat powder brush.

By a mile, for putting on bb/cc creams and foundation, the £30 bobbi brown synthetic brush. Has genuinely completely changed my scepticism on make up brushes - fab !!!

I really like Ecotools too; I bought a little travel box of five brushes for a trip last December, but have ended up using them ever since. They do a good job and don't shed.

I love the brushes from Lily Lolo. The Bare Minerals one moult like mad.

I use Real Techniques and a few MAC - love the look of those zoeva ones though...

Really dislike Real Techniques. Gave all mine away. Love Mac and Laura Mercier.
