Recommend me some make up brushes!

I’ve only ever used Primark brushes for foundation and concealer, and they’re ok but I’m wondering if there’s something out there which might give me better results as sometimes my foundation can be a bit streaky.
Would it be worth me investing in some higher quality brushes or are they all basically the same?

I’ve found a stippling brush to be good for non-streaky foundation.
I use Morphe and Nude by Nature brushes. They’re lovely, don’t shed hairs, are effective and don’t cost the earth. I can’t come at paying three times the price for something that isn’t even handmade by Japanese unicorns.
I pay more for products that aren’t going to irritate my skin, but I can’t see the point of super expensive brushes. They’re the same.

That’s helpful @learieonthewildmoor I’ll check those brands out

I seen on Hotukdeals today that there is a set of makeup brushes deal on the Morphe website. You get 20% off if you sign up to their newsletter which will take the postage cost down a bit.

I love my Dermacol foundation brush. I got it cheap as chips online - less then a fiver anyways. Its great for stippling and blending and it dries really quickly when washed

Affordable ones are:
Real Techniques
Crown Brushes has an incredible variety and amazing prices (go on their website and get lost on so many brushes).
Morphe is also good
Eco Tools has some decent brushes too.

MAC has excellent brushes but a bit more pricey, however, the brands above are great for the price tbh.

I bought one brush from Kiko that I quite liked so I'm sure I'll be back for some more and see how the rest compares.

I once bought a set of Primark brushes but threw them away after a few attempts to make them work tbh, I thought they were awful

I like Boots and real techniques brushes which I've had for years

I have Real Tecniques brushes, they weren't expensive but work well & wash without losing bristles. I also have some ancient Body Shop brushes that must be at least 25 years old & are still as good as new.

I like these and this is a good offer

learieonthewildmoor · 11/02/2024 03:38

Sometimes brands like Charlotte Tilbury do a special offer on travel sets. I got a great set of four brushes for the price I’d normally pay for two.

I have the KJH 25 brush set. Quite pricey at £190 but they are amazing.

If you want a full set, Hannah Martin x Ciate is one of the best.
