Looking Good - Shopping For Makeup Brushes�?/FONT>
"Tips To Help You Look & Feel Your Best"
------------------------------------------------------------
Makeup brushes are a must to get a nice application and naural
look. These brushes can be pricey and when considering the
different shapes and sizes you need for your eyes, face, lips,
etc., it can run into big bucks...
You can get very high quality brushes for very little money by
shopping at your local art or crafts store! An added advantage
of shopping the craft and art supply stores is that if you need
a brush of a more unusual shape or size, you have much more
variety to choose from. You can choose how long you want your
bristles, how thick or thin the brush, how firm or soft, and you
can feel them before you buy. These stores have a great assortment
of brushes for every purpose. Sometimes the handles are very long
but you can cut them down. If you don't know what shapes and size
brushes to look for, study the brushes at the department stores
first. I just bought some art brushes at a craft store and I am
now convinced that all the brushes for make-up and art come from
the same manufacturers. I bought an extremely soft goat hair
blush/powder brush which compares to Bobbi Brown's for $6.50...
I bought an excellent concealer brush comparable to any
$16 brush, for $3.00. I bought a square-shaped eyelining
brush (great for making a defined line with shadow) like
Stila's and an eyeliner brush shaped like Bobbi Brown's
(great for making a thicker, softer line) for around $5
each. In a department store these brushes would be anywhere
from $16-$40 and up. The shapes and quality of the artist's
brushes are the same as the very expensive make-up brushes
at the department stores...
