Make Up Brushes

I’ve been using Hourglass and Trish McEvoy makeup brushes for a number of years and am getting close to replacing a couple lid them. I’m happy to buy the same again but also looking at other options.

Has anyone tried the ones from Lisa Eldridge or Victoria Beckham or Ilia Beauty?

what do MN recommend?

I use real techniques too. Very happy with them. They wash well too.

I have tried many, but always go back to spectrum!

My DD wears make-up , I bought her a set of Spectrum brushes a couple of years ago . About 20/25 , literally every brush she'd ever need in a stand up container .
Vegan/cruelty free .
Gorgeous quality , she loves them

I bought a Spectrum set last year intending to replace my various make up brushes from different brands. They're pretty good but I still use several of the ones I already had. Have previously bought the cheap (random Amazon brands, ELF, No7) to reasonably expensive (Hourglass, Bobbi Brown, Saie). But the brand that I think does the best quality for the best price is Morphe. Some excellent brushes - especially for complexion. Shame I can't say the same for their make up which seems to vanish from my face within an hour of putting it on!
