My Brush Collection

The most important tool for a makeup artist is their brush collection. After experimenting with many brands and products I finally have found the 10 brushes for my kit. Mac makes several kinds of brushes and collections but the following ten are what I use in my kit...
1. MAC 129 Powder/Blush Brush
I use this for applying blush, bronzer, blot powder, and setting powder. It is medium sized for more precision. 

2. MAC 169 Large Angle Contour Brush
I use this for applying powder for highlighting and contouring. 

3. MAC 130 Short Duo Fibre Brush
I use this for blending in liquid foundation or any powder. 
 
4. MAC 195 Concealer Brush
I use this for applying concealer under the eyes or on the face. 

5. MAC 210 Precise Eye Liner Brush
I use this for applying gel eyeliner. 

6. MAC 318 Retractable Lip Brush
I use this for applying lip primer and lipstick for color and in place of lip liner.


7. MAC 208 Angled Brow Brush
I use this for applying eye brow powder and eye shadow under the eyes.

8. MAC 219 Pencil Brush
I use this for applying eye shadow under the eyes and for blending. I usually use this brush last. 

9. MAC 286 Duo Fibre Tapered Blending Brush
I use this for applying eye shadow everywhere because it has a pointed end for precision like for highlighting under the brow but it's big enough to use for the whole eye lid. I will usually start my eye shadow process with this brush. 

10. MAC 275 Medium Angles Shading Brush
I use this for applying eye shadow in the edges of the eye lid for a smokey eye look or for above the crease for contouring.
