Space nk for small angled eyeliner brush and body shop

I use the ecotools eyebrushes. They are soft, without stabbing your eyes out. Some years ago, I got some mac brushes (the ones in the travel size) for Christmas, and I've used those all these years later. But the ecotools eye brushes are pretty soft.

I bought a set of ecotools brushes and really like them - I think they are good value for the price. I also have some MAC brushes that have lasted ages so worth the investment!

carrotcakecupcake · 29/07/2017 21:47

This was the one I started with and would consider other brushes though hardly wear makeup now that I'm on maternity leave!

Real techniques and a few Mac brushes. Lisa Eldridge makes a few good recommendations on her site.

EcoTools and Real Techniques
They are often on offer 3 for 2 in Boots

HundredMilesAnHour · 29/07/2017 22:04

I used Trish McEvoy brushes for many years but recently moved over to IT Cosmetics brushes instead (they're cheaper but equally lovely).

SergeantJynErso · 29/07/2017 22:05

I've used all kinds from Mac to Body Shop but my absolute favourites are from Wilko of all places. They are gorgeous to use and so reasonably priced can be replaced regularly.

sowhatusernameisnttaken · 30/07/2017 07:18

Do they sell real techniques in boots?

PollyPerky · 30/07/2017 07:21

Bobbi Brown. Expensive but pleased with them.

Real techniques

needsomesunshineandwine · 30/07/2017 07:32

Morphe and zoeva.

AnnieOH1 · 30/07/2017 07:33

Ecotools and Wilkos premium range. I totally agree SergeantJynErso the Wilkos ones don't look or feel cheap, and give great results.

Auldspinster · 30/07/2017 14:36

Wow the Wilkos ones look really good, shame they don't have a branch in Edinburgh.

NomDePlumeReloaded · 30/07/2017 14:41

Laura Mercier

Auspiciouspanda · 30/07/2017 14:43

Zoeva - amazing quality brushes

cod · 30/07/2017 14:45

bobbi brown

WhatchaMaCalllit · 30/07/2017 14:52

Penneys (or Primark). They do quite good brushes and they don't cost the earth

cherylvole · 30/07/2017 14:53

once you've had ££ ones you don't go back

Bombardier25966 · 30/07/2017 16:46

Not true. I've had Laura Mercier and MAC in the past, and they're no better than Ecotools.

Don't be blinded by names Wink

mollibu · 30/07/2017 16:47

Zoeva.

PatMullins · 30/07/2017 16:47

I use Spectrum because they're pretty and I like the mermaid case Grin

SingaporeSlander · 30/07/2017 16:47

Zoeva. Seem to be one few people who didn't like Real Techniques!

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 30/07/2017 16:50

Zoeva are my favourites but also have a fab set from makeup revolution. Rose gold handles and came as a set.

Also the MAC eyeshadow brush is really good. Lasts for years.
