What brand for good quality, premium make-up brushes for DD

[sheryl]

She would like rose gold LOL!

Blush, foundation, eye - really what brushes would you recommend for a young woman?

[ErinE]

I like MAC, because no MAC brush I own has ever shed or given me fits. Sephora also excellent brushes. It depends on what she uses the brushes for and if you want to make the investment. Good brushes should last decades, not years. 

 

Foundation: Does she prefer to stipple on foundation or brush on? 

 

Blush: I like a narrower brush than most because I have a small face.

 

Eyeshadow: Two or three different brushes would be good for eyeshadow, but absolutely critical is a blending brush.

I bought Bobbi Brown and MAC and both types have lasted for years. However, I later found I could also apply concealer with my fingertip and foundation with a basic makeup sponge and it looked just as good for daily use.

 

Other good (and more affordable) brush brands are Sephora and Sigma.

I have a big set of Mac brushes, but I also have these eye brushes from target and they’ve been great. I like the short handles because I’m blind and get really close to the mirror for eye make up.

THANKS!  Will check out.  :)   She'll be excited.  And, she really wants a blush brush.  I personally don't think it's necessary to buy a brush for "every" facet of make-up application.  But, a good brush for blush, maybe eye shadow, contouring, etc.   Foundation - it's going to depend on what type she'll use.  OK, off to check these out!

My daughter asked for Morphe brushes last year, and she loves them.

I like the Real Techniques brand -- and they had some cute mini brushes for Christmas at Target. Pretty colors, too.

It's a 10-piece set; highly-rated (4.5 stars out of 7300+ reviews) for $7 / free-shipping with prime.  Original price: $40.

I just did a lot of research on this last year and the Sonia Kashuk brushes from Target were highly rated even over some others fancier brands. I purchased the kind linked below and they are so wonderful. I haven't had any shedding and they work beautifully. I purchased a foundation brush, a big blush/powder brush, and an shadow brush. They work wonderfully.

I think Sephora might have a Rose Gold set of their own brand if you really want Rose Gold.

Thanks so much everyone! Really appreciate it.
