Looking for a brand that will last a few years! Thanks

I have quite a mix. Real Technique are fine. Have to admit my favourite eyeshadow ones are Revlon and were from poundland many moons ago. I also like a couple I had from Wilko and if you're going really cheap Primark are fine too.

Victoria Beckham are amazing.
I’m building up a collection!

Following! I am getting back into make up wearing, getting an open flat make up back from Elizabeth Scarlett for Christmas from my brother …. Excited for more brushes, learning how to contour etc

I'd agree with Real Technique. Been a while since I have had new ones but on the older ones the rubbery part goes really horrible which is the only bad thing about them. There's a nice set reduced in Boots just now.
I have a couple of Morphe but they're a bit more expensive.

Thank you. Will take a look at real technique and Victoria beckham

AYU are fantastic and wash so well. I like RT brushes but don't find they last where as I've had a AYU foundation brush for 8 years and it's like new.

Vieve are fantastic brushes!

I like Morphe, but pricey, and Lamora (on Amazon) do some really good budget dupes.

I've had my Real Techniques for over 10 years now. The secret is to wash them and when you do do not get water past where the bristles start, you don't want to get water where the glue holds the bristles. I wash mine with shampoo and sometimes condition them too.
