mac vs. chanel blush brush

Fasc, if we're ever in the same place at the same time with free time and access to transportation, I'll take you girly shopping. It will be fun!
 
Not sure when I'll be East again, probably not until next year, but I'll keep it in mind!

I use a product from Sephora to clean my makeup brushes, and it seems to do a good job. Otherwise, I might be tempted to use Johnson's Baby Shampoo to clean them.

What does everyone else use to clean their makeup brushes?

baby shampoo.
 
I use whatever bits of facial cleanser I have laying around from when I experiment and change brands. Remember I mentioned elsewhere I had all these half bottles of tanner? Well, ditto on the cleanser. Truly, my cosmetics collection is ridiculous.
 
I'm not really sure where to put this, since there are several threads, but this one is the most handy.

Paula Begoun has written books reviewing various beauty products, including makeup. She also has a website, cosmeticscop.com.

I've tried out several of the products that were reviewed well, and generally I haven't been disappointed.
 
I have one of her books, in which she revealed that eye and lip pencils stamped made in Germany are very similar across brands because there is only one factory in Germany that makes these kinds of pencils. Very interesting read all around.
 
I either use shampoo to clean my brushes or the MAC brush cleaner. I actually think the shampoo works better. Facial cleanser didn't work well at all for me (scary, since that is what i am using to get the make-up OFF my face), but like I said, I am probably hard on my brushes.
 
I also use MAC brush cleanser to clean my brush - very useful and for that price $11 for a big bottle, worth the $$$, it lasts almost a year...

correct...I was my dad's only son for 10 years...and my mom grew up with only two of her closest siblings...both brothers...so um...I missed out on alot of this stuff and have never really had access, opportunity, or inclination to focus too much on it...now I view doing my make up as an art...but I don't ruminate overly much about the stuff...just the end product......meh...I am weird that way...also not into shoes or chocolate...I feel sort of defective

Haha! Makes sense. I was starting to think maybe it was all the pictures of erect blush brushes or something.:p Of course, being a not so girly girl myself, I appreciate threads like this for helping me learn to be more girly in my everyday life!:)
 
Unfortunately for all involved, I put the "frou" into "frou-frou". I love make-up and product and cannot go anywhere without picking up something. It doesn't make any difference if it is WalMart or Nordstrom, I find some new product I "must have". Sad, very sad.
 
oh well this morning I was at CVS checking out some nice makeup brushes, guess what I've found? Essence of beauty makeup brushes - those are truly high quality and I would say compatible with expensive sephora or department store brushes; Here I share some of my favorites:

dome eyeshadow brush - great for overall eyelid color! this one is similar to Stila #5 which I could no longer find from Sephora. this one cost only $6 Vs. the Stila one cost around $24:)

eyeliner brush - this shape is unusual, unlike regular eyeliner brush like pointed, but it is awesome! very precise and effective for drawing smoking eyes!

concealer brush - very nice and I bought this one with a travel set of 6 brushes for only $9.99, can't complain for such price! and very useful!
