OK, so I am in search of great quality (or at least good) but inexpensive make up brushes and I am looking for some great advice on maybe smaller independent companies that carry/make really great brushes for good price (since I'm a workin' woman/momma and not rich) I don't have tons of moolah to spend! What brushes do you use and love? I know of Sigma and yes they are great but looking for others besides the ones most people know of already. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and advice! <3 Stay Gorgeous!

I use the real technique brushes and absolutely love them!! You can get them at ulta. They are also very inexpensive. I have also heard good things about the ELF brushes but have not used them myself. I'm pretty sure you can purchase them at target. Good luck on your search!! :))

I love my Adesign brushes, they definitely deliver and their 14 piece collection is $92 and definitely worth every penny. I did a lot of research on which brushes to get and decided on A design. In fact I liked them so much after I got them I bought another 14 piece set from them (it went on sale).

And yeah the ELF studio brushes has some must-haves, the flat top powder is so amazing that I bought 3. Their eye contour brush is good, and their"c" brush. I use their slanted small angled brush for lots of things-makes a good, stiff lip brush. They used to have a taper brush that I love, don't see it on their site anymore. those are my "must have" ELF brushes. They're good to have around especially when you are using a heavily pigmented product and you want to use less of it since the taklon bristles don't pick up or lay down as much product. They are very soft bristles btw, but good density.

Try sigma brushes, you can get an entire set for a relatively cheap price, great quality plus everybody and their mother love them :)))

I love makeup brushes and I have a ton! My favorite brush brand is sigma but I have brushes I love from other brands! I really like Sedona lace, they have great prices on there brush sets I think there 12 pc set is like 59.99 ( they have pink or black- I have both LOVE!!) they ate natural hair, synthetic 12 pc is 79.99 and then they have the vortex collection a 15 pc set made by you tuber and mua makeup by ren ren for I think 79.99 w/o brush belt and 89.99 with brush belt. I also like real techniques brushes by Sam chapman (of pixiwoo) there 3 sets at ulta for $19.99 ( I have all 3) and they are really nice, they are also synthetic. ELF has good brushes for great prices the studio brush set is $30 on there website and its really nice, the brushes from there essential line are good too and they are $1 each! Elf can be bought off the website or target! Lastly I really like Sonia Kashuk brushes! They are exclusive to target and are priced very affordable. She has sets she sell for no more than $24.99 and of course you can buy them individually! My favorite eye brush from SK is the large crease brush, I use it all the time! It is a multifunctional brush, I own literally 8 and they are only $5.99 each!! Oh almost forgot crown brush, they have great brushes at very affordable prices. Coastal scents buys there brushes from them! I have 3 brush sets from crown brush. They sometimes sell on hautelook. Anyway hope this helps! If you have any questions let me know!!
