Girl all I know about brushes is I have to get a bups just to buy my frickin brushes. One good brush is $15.00 at target do not mention the brand I like Bare essentuals. Lawd!! Anyway good brushes are your best friend just shut your eye and spend the money. They say brush puts foundation on evenly but I still using sponge cause it working for me and I do not want to have to wash the foundation brush every time I use is it ( which is a must) or spend $ $20 for one I cheap...LOL. But good brushes are a must. They make less expensive products perform better too.

a lot of my brushes are essence of beauty, which works pretty good for me, except i think their blending brush is a little too big. i want something a bit more firm and a tad bit smaller.

the chafing gel feels really smooth on the eye lids, it's like having baby powder on your eye lid and is nice.

I must try that chafing gel thin ..i got some here ...will try that the next time i get all girlied up

i don't think i'll be spending a lot of money on primer after buying it, because my biggest issue was being "shiny" and this has definitely stopped it. i work 10 hr days on fridays and by 7:30pm, i was still not shiny.

and i have VERY oily skin.

This company has some good quality brushes for a small price. The Italian Badger is deh best.....Because I always movin quick and doh have time to wash brushes after every gig, I get multiple sets from dis place and just keep several clean sets with me. A decent full set may total $40 bucks or slightly more. ITALIAN BADGER SERIES

each time i look at mihself today, i was never shiny, usually every 2 or 3 hours i need to pat my nose or something. so i think it's one of my new fave!!

what i really want to know about is a realllllly good blending brush! not too big, and not too firm. mac has the 223, which is nice, but at ummm $30, i want something else! lol.

Shop Eyes Lips Face

and you can buy individually as well.

I know ppl say cheap ting nuh good BUT I've gotten eyeshadows, eyeliner, blush, lip gloss, blotting paper, nail polish and brushes from here and I have not one complaint. Its good if you just want to try something.
And if you don't like it you wont beat yourself up over the price.

Lots of customer reviews http://reviews.eyeslipsface.com/get_...hp?pageid=1038
And the site also has a Get this look section Shop Eyes Lips Face using their products. As long as you have the colors it works.
Another place I get brushes and brush cleaner from is Ulta: Japonesque, Ms Makeup and :) Essence of Beauty.

I love my E.L.F. eyeshadow brushes (I have about 4), but their blending brush is very rough in my opinion.
