Hey people I really need help I need to buy some new brushes but I am at a lost I have seen Japonesque, Crown Brushes, E.L.F and Sephora's brand. Can I please get some advice I need a Kabuki brush and some new eye brushes please let me know and my budget is between 30-60!
For eyes, definitely splurge on a 239 and a 217 from MAC. Sonia Kashuk also has a pretty decent blending brush. For eyeliner, EcoTools. You can use their angle brush for it. (Or, alternatively, I like Sonia Kashuk's bent eyeliner brush. Another alternative is to check out paintbrushes at an art supply store; you'll save even more that way.) If you can swing it, I also like the Louise Young LY14 brush; it's another very versatile brush to have, I think (applying colour to the inner corner/tearduct or outer "V", stronger creasework, blending). If you can't get it now, maybe save up to get it later, or ask for it as a present. ;)
Kabuki brush, I like e.l.f.'s Studio one for the face.
I recommend Real Techniques! You can get a set of eye brushes or a set of face brushes for $17.99 at Ulta and they are amaaazinggg! They also have individual ones. So soft and fluffy! And I've heard they are almost better than Sigma brushes...
