Hey ladies. I'm starting out and studying media makeup at college, and need a set of all round makeup brushes, eg, foundation, powder, eyeshadow, blending brushes etc. and I was wondering if you could help me out, and point me in the right direction of what brushes are the best, what the cheapest brushes are(obviously still good brushes, living off a student budget can't be to expensive) and how well they worked out for you. Thanks :) xox
Sedona lace, elf, sigma brushes I heard are good. But if you look for affordable brushes elf which are between $1.00-$3.00!! But if you want brushes that are going to be lasting and these are expensive but I feel are worth it sigma, Mac and sedona lace brushes also go on discount makeup websites, also I think urban decay have makeup brushes as well. But go on discount makeup websites, eBay or amazon! I hope this helps. Elf brushes you can find at Target!!
The e.l.f studio brush set is really good! There are some that aren't included that you might have to buy individually, but they are only $3 at Target and online you can get them for half off with coupon codes or sales.
You may qualify for the MAC student program so u can buy a set of brushes for a discounted price. If u don't ten buy the sigma brushes they have complete sets !
Sigma brushes are a great investment, especially if you don't want to shell out for MAC ones. Good quality, soft, durable, clean well, etc.. Starting off with a set is a good way to go.

Real techniques are great and lasting.. They are cheaper than some but definitely more pricey than elf ones.
