I have coastal scents brushes and they are horrible. I've been hearing tons of great things about Sigma brushes but before I invest in them, I'd like to know if there's an even better brand that's a bit cheaper? Or comes with a bigger selection for a similar price? I was looking at Royal and Maestro...

I highly recommend the coastal scents 22 piece makeup brush set. It runs for around $35 and the brushes are amazing. Also, if you can find them, Estée Lauder brushes are nice and soft, but can be ridiculously expensive. Sephora brand are great also

Oh! And I forgot about Japonesque. I'm always consistently surprised by their softness, lack of shedding, and the way they hold their shape well with daily washes.

I just want to say that I have never, not once, purchased a Sephora brush that I liked. Maybe it's just me, but I found them all to be total crap.

I like MAC, of course, but a lot of their fuller powder brushes shed like crazy and are very rough. I like Louise Young, Sigma, and a lot of the Shu Uemura brushes.

It's really a matter of opinion. Generally, one hears Mac. Also, Sigma are becoming increasingly popular.

The best brushes for me are Trish McAvoy. Very Pricey though. This time of year though you can usually find gift sets at Nordstrom, Saks or Neimans.

sigma all the way. i do own a few brushes from sephora, and i really like them because of the metal wand that each brush comes with.( some of them have it, not all of the brushes in the store, the colorful ones.) I love them because they do not shed. Also, when you wash them you do not need to worry about going above that metal tube that meets the wooden brush( so water doesnt get in your brush and create sheds.) Its just more chill to wash your brushes and not worry. i do love sigma, i have never bough any mac brushes. they seem to similar since i have so many sigma brushes.

I think the best natural hair brushes I've used are those from Cinema Secrets, Da Vinci (a German line),Claudio Riaz (at Barney's), Shu Uemura, Hakuhodo, Trish McEvoy, Sue Devitt, Linda Cantello (no longer around) and, a new company called the London Brush Company. The Rae Morris brushes look great although some brushes seem inspired by Shu Uemura's more extensive Japanese line. There are also less well-known Japanese lines such as Takara and Chikuhodo that do exquisite brushes. If I were in a situation where my brushes could develop legs, I'd use Bdellium, Adesign or Royal Langnickel's Revolution line.
