What makeup brushes do you use?

As above, what make up brushes do you use?

Some of them are so expensive - are they worth it? I keep reading rave reviews of Wilkos brushes but wonder if it's a false economy.

Body Shop. I love them and think they are brilliantly priced

Real techniques, not to pricey but do the job and some I've been using since they first came out ,so have lasted literally yonks.

Dior Back Stage ones. DH bought them for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. They're v nice but not sure if they're that much better than cheap ones as I never used to use brushes, just the things that came with the make up to apply it.

A right mix!
Spectrum, zoeva, real techniques
Then my expensive ones are Sonia G brushes and rephr

I have a mix too

Some MAC (the duo fibre ones) and I don't use them much
Real techniques - I have quite a lot of the standard ones and they are decent but they also do different editions of which I got a few in tk Maxx and the blue range are lovely. Not sure what they're called but they're a dark royal blue colour.

Body shop brushes are nice. I have had some for years.

I have a mix too as I've received brushes in beauty boxes and advent calendars.

A bare minerals one that is lovely for powder foundation.

A benefit Hoola brush I use for bronzer.

Some eco tools brushes - they are good quality and not a bad price.

A mix...

Nothing beats the Mac 217 for eyeshadow blending though.

I'm currently coveting a specific foundation brush but it's quite pricey. It's the Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki.

If I was starting out from scratch I'd go for a mix of Sigma, Morphe and Mac brushes.

I've got a mix of MAC and Zoeva synthetic ones and a couple of Urban Decay.
