What are your favourite make up brushes ?

NEED to get some new ones

I bought some Real Techniques ones when they were on offer in Boots a while ago and I like them. I've got the essential eye and face sets. Both come in a folding pouch so quite handy. Mind you though, I only ever wear makeup if I'm going somewhere at the weekend, so I'm far from an expert!

Love the YSL foundation brush, flat top with a Y shaped reservoir for putting the foundation into. Blends foundation really well.

For a cheaper alternative, the Avon brushes are good too especially the powder and eyeshadow brushes.

Zoeva.

Very reasonably priced, fast delivery from (I think) Germany and they're better than MAC/Real Techniques. Their makeup is fantastic too.

Bobbi brown.

Depends on the brush for me. Zoeva are great but Mac blending brushes 217, 224 can't be beaten Imo.

I really rate the Morphe brushes. Not too pricey either.

Has anyone tried artis brushes?

I like the medium artis brush, the one for face makeup but that's it and it's not amazing either.

Wilkinsons ones are great. There's not a massive range but I've got a few and I love them.

Another vote for Zoeva here. I have a couple of sets in Rose Gold.

Watching with interest as I bought a Bobbi Brown blusher brush recently and it's shit - scratchy and I always have to pick a couple of bristles off my face after using it so doubt it's going to last.

Bobbi Brown but not cheap. I have the blusher brush- bought about 3 years ago and it's still going strong. Have 2 eyeshadow brushes and the concealer brush (it's rubbish and I see they don't do that style any more.) Bought the loose powder brush which is ok but doesn't have as many bristles as the blusher brush.

The Morphe ones are great and super cheap. Lots of youtube beauty bloggers and make up artists use them.

Real techniques, especially when they are in offer!

Honestly? Primark. Prices from £1-£6 ish for the Pro range. Have lasted just as long as Real Techniques (also great). The black Pro sponge for £2 is honestly better than the original Beauty Blender (£16).

Real Techniques (not the Bold Metals collection) and ELF are good.

Bobbi Brown

Bare Escentuals sell a fantastic kabuki foundation brush, mine has lasted almost ten years, despite using it every day. I recently bought a Laura Mercier one which is rubbish. I look like I'm covered in black dog hairs after using it.

I've got a range. The ones I like best are Bobbi Brown, Sigma and NYX.

I have a brush addiction.

Favourites are Suqqu, Laura Mercier and Mac but I have some great cheap ones too - ELF and Real Techniques.

Real techniques and honestly I love the wilko ergonomic ones at about £4 each, great budget brushes

Sigma and MAC

By the way, for anyone who likes Real Techniques, my local TK Maxx had some in stock half price. Might be worth a look if you have a store nearby.

Thanks for the tips
I've tried real techniques for now

I have a couple of mac Ones
I use the 217 a lot

But there's another a rounded one I don't use much

Primark here too.
I got one just to try thinking 'I'll only loose a couple of quid if they are rubbish' and, to my astonishment, I went back to get the rest!
They are good- mind you, I have never used really high end ones.
