    Hi

    I asked this a while ago and lots of people recommended the Body Shop brushes - which aren't ridiculously expensive. I bought a little pack which included some eyeshadow brushes and a lip brush and I also bought a concealer applicator and they seem to be really good.

    I haven't tried either of these myself yet so can't vouch for quality but you could try ELF where everything's £1.50, or Crownbrush seems to be sort of a wholesaler for professional types but the minimum order's only £15 so if you need a whole new set...

    Virgin Vie have some lovely brushes and they make applying make up so easy. They blend products so well and are very soft on your skin. Let me know if you want some info.

    Cheap brushes get all fuzzy so quickly...

    You're better off investing in the good, decently prized types that would cost you much less n the long run.

    WSS. It is more cost effective to pay that little bit more for your brushes.

    MAC brushes are lovely but quite expensive so I would go for Body Shop brushes. You are better going for the slighty more expensive brushes as they are made to last and blend your makeup in alot easier.

    If you clean them regularly and look after them they last a long time. My body shop powder brush has lasted me about 7 years and it's as good as new.

    I love Bobbi Brown brushes but there are so expensive, alot cheaper on some auction site though.
    If your budget can't stretch that far then I echo the comments from other hitchers that Bodyshop brushes are well worth the money and mine have lasted me ages xx

    I bought some Ruby and Milly brushes from Boots a while back and they seem to be lasting well.
