Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts and questions about the perfect makeup brushes. lots of brands have been mentioned along with a few specific brushes. my question for all you brush connoisseurs is what makes a good brush? what components do you look for that make a makeup brush a good quality brush?

Mainly the type of hair, the ferrule, and the price point. As for the bristles, animal hair is the best you can find. It picks up and applies product much better than any synthetic brush. Also, the bristles of synthetic brushes tend to come off and stick to the face (ever see black stray hairs on your cheeks?) As for the ferrule, just feel that part of the brush with a kind of twisting motion. It shouldn't move at all, if it does, put it back. You want brushes to last you a long time. If it's already in mediocre shape, you don't want it. Now, the price. Good brushes USUALLY aren't cheap. But some mediocre brushes are expensive. Most notably Sephora brand brushes (except the airbrush concealer brush... Best there is IMO.) Their prices aren't much lower than MAC, and for that much money, you could get REALLY good quality elsewhere. Hope this helps! :)
