a few of you expressed amazement at the amount of brushes I own.  Let me refresh your memory, I have:
•  202 eye brushes (of which 163 are eye shadow, 31 liner, 8 brow brushes)
•  126 deal with brushes (41 blush, 33 foundation, 25 powder, 18 bronzer, 9 concealer brushes)
I don’t believe that’s too much, however my point of view may be a bit skewed.

Eye shadow brushes

Another angle of the exact same eye shadow brushes. The acrylic holder came from a stationery store $5

Short-handled eye shadow brushes as well as concealer brushes
I admit, I’m a bit of a clean junkie. I’m always searching for that next high… the much better blending brush, the softer kabuki. however I’m likewise penny-wise so I don’t necessarily go for the brand names or crazy Japanese artisan brushes (no Hakuhodo or Suqqu for me).  I’m not loyal to any type of one specific brand of brushes – there’s a great representation from across different brands including MAC, Coastal Scents, Trish McEvoy, genuine Techniques, Smashbox, Ecotools, etc.  My wonderful area for eye makeup brushes is no more than $20 per clean as well as deal with brushes I try to keep it to below $40.

Powder as well as blusher brushes, holder from Container store
Brushes for bronzing, highlighting, contouring
Kabuki brushes – I have duplicates / back-ups of these which I haven’t photographed.
My double-ended or brushes with toppers that can’t stand upright – I keep them horizontal in this stackable acrylic tray. I seldom reach for these since I keep forgetting about them.
Foundation as well as bronzer brushes. I got this holder from Winners as well as it worked much better in theory – in reality, it’s a bit as well big of what I need.
My filthy brushes – this is the designated cup to hold all my filthy brushes. when it gets full, that’s the signal that I requirement to stop being so lazy as well as laundry my brushes already.
You’ve likewise most likely heard it before – one of the reasons for collecting so many brushes is because of laziness.  I like utilizing clean eye brushes every time I do my eye makeup, however I get lazy about washing my brushes – solution: buy more brushes!  This likewise applies to foundation brushes – I utilize a foundation clean no more than 2 times before I laundry it. now with so many, I always have fresh ones on rotation.

A few notable brushes – my most valued clean is from Club Monaco.  Yup, years back Club Monaco had their own line of cosmetics (anyone keep in mind the Monica Lewinsky lipstick frenzy?) as well as this clean came in an eye shadow palette:

It’s just labelled “02”.  It’s the perfect density, softness, size, shape – whatever – for applying powder eye shadow on my eye shape.  For years I tried to discover a dupe for this from other brands however nothing has been precise (I’ll dedicate an entry on this in the future).  This is the one clean I would run back into a burning building to save.

Here’s the most costly single clean in my collection:

Make Up For ever #122 Blending Brush, expense $55 (Sephora) – subjectively it’s likewise the softest feeling clean I own.  It’s excellent for applying bronzers or powders that are either loose or tend to be soft as well as powdery in texture.
EDIT: after I took all the pictures as well as finished this entry, I realized my most costly clean is really the Nars Yachiyo Kabuki clean at $65. Unfortunately, I barely ever utilize that clean since it sheds as well as is so flimsy delicate that I feel like I’m going to break it. This clean is shown in the picture with the brushes for bronzing, highlighting, contouring – on the most left hand side.

And here’s the cheapest clean I own – it was free:

I got it at a grand opening of an art store – they were handing out free brushes as well as I believe this was meant for watercolour.  I love this clean for applying eye inner corner highlight – it’s super soft however has great flex as well as it’s the perfect size for that area.  I utilize this almost daily. Art brushes normally have longer handles than makeup brushes so I broke off the handle – rather poorly – I may try to mend it with some colourful washi tape.  I’ve had this clean for more than 10 years as well as would be extremely unfortunate if I ever misplaced it!

As I acquire brushes that I prefer more, I have started to set aside some brushes that I don’t reach for as often, housed in this Soap & Glory gift set tote:

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with these brushes, I just prefer some others.
Once I do a purge, I do have a few brushes on my desire listing to obtain in the future, including: MAC 242 Shader, MUFE 154 Buffer brush, OCC #11 little powder blush brush, and Paula Dorf sheer crease brush.  Yes, the quest is never ending!

Hur är det med dig? How many brushes do you own? What are your favourite brushes? Any brushes on your desire list?
