Save or Splurge: Makeup Brushes


Every time I've had my makeup done, makeup brushes come into the conversation. My set is a bit lacking. It's what's left of my mom's old set of brushes. The brushes I have are much better than the super cheap ones that I could afford to replace them with so I'm hanging on to these brushes until decide I want to wear makeup more often and can afford a nicer set.

Ideally, brushes would be a bit of a splurge. I'd rather buy them once every several years (with proper care, of course) for around $40 instead of buying them every year for $10 only to suffer through shedding and breaking and such.

However, I don't wear makeup often. I'd prefer to have nice professional brushes because I think it does make a difference in the look, but I am currently fine with the few brushes I have and the applicators that come with various products. I guess that makes brushes a save now and, hopefully, a splurge later.

Do you save or splurge on makeup brushes?

I've noticed the biggest difference in my eye makeup. Those spongey applicators are horrible, but good brushes make the look even. I really want a good angled eyeliner brush so I can wear my bright shadows as winged liner.

The really nice mineral makeup I splurged on for my wedding came with awesome brushes.

I agree with Jael Paris about eye makeup. I've been converted to the brush.
