Answer 1

Normal art brushes work just as well as any Brand name make up brushes... plus they're usually a lot cheaper. Just go to your local art store and pick some up. :D

Answer 2

art brushes do work as well as makeup brushes. just know what youve gotta buy! a blending brush, flat small brush and a larger flat brush will probably do the trick and last you a long time. if you can afford it, a crease brush is always nice to have and easy to work with esp if youre just starting out.

Answer 4

MAC brushes are definitely worth the investment.  I personally love the 224 for blending, 252 for applying shadow to the lid or if you have Asian eyes like me I sometimes use the 242 which is a smaller version of the 252.  With makeup tips I would just practice as often as possible, blending is the most important thing.  You can practice your blending by applying eyeshadow to your crease with a blending brush like the MAC 224 but sweep in on in a windshield motion from right to left, left to right.  Good luck!

Art brushes from the craft store are great!---another alternative is this site

they buy the brushes wholesale so they can sell them for cheaper prices...here are some reviews of them as well...

Answer 6

MAC ones are good. But they're WAY over priced

Check out your local Michael's (yes.. the craft store)

get some Loew Cornell paint brushes.

(same material: goat hair and wooden handles at almost 1/4th the price of MAC brushes)

Crown brushes also work really well as makeup brushes

For the Loew Cornell brushes the 3/8'' Maxine Mop is an awesome basic eyeshadow brush. And I believe I bought it for between $4-$5

Answer 7

The In A Wink shadow sheets someone mentioned are really cool - and pretty inexpensive, too. You can get them with free shipping using the code "FSANY" at youravon.com/mmansfield.

For brushes, I HIGHLY recommend brushes from mark., they're VERY high quality - easily compared to more expensive brands, and the most expensive brush in the line is $8. You can get them at the same website I mentioned above, with the same free shipping code, or from mymarkstore.com/imansfield, with the free ship code "LAURENSLOOK"
