My Favorite Makeup Brushes And Why I Heart Them

There are a variety of make up brushes available from all sorts of brand names. Some of them are really expensive whereas some others are in the medium range.

Then there are the cheaper alternatives available from Wal-Mart and other department stores. Which ones are the favorite ones for you?

MAC 217 is a favorite makeup brush for a large number of American women. While they use this amazing brush, some die hard fans of MAC 217 are known to hear the singing of angels! Jokes akin to the birth of Jesus apart, this brush is really amazing for shading or blending purposes. MAC 217 can be used for applying powdery or creamy products alike. This brush is one among the best selling brushes from MAC.

The high light of this make up brush is its densely packed fibers made of white sheep wool. The oval shape of the bristles is perfect for make up application. The wooden handles and the adjoining metallic portion are completely hand carved and done using the best craftsmen out there. The high quality of the fibers and the perfection of the design makes it a pleasure to apply make up with a MAC 217. Once you have it and use it, you are addicted for life!

Even though it is on the expensive side at $22.50 per brush, it is worth every penny spend on it. If you take good care of your MAC 217, it is sure to last a few years. Use of the brush for 5 years or more is quite common. I have seen some one using it for 7 years at a stretch. All you need to do is clean up this brush once a week or so. Do not over cleanse it, as this can remove the oil on the fibers. If you do so, as the fibers are not being routinely replenished with oil as is the case with a live animal, it can lose its durability.

Your MAC 217 can provide a perfect finish to any color of make up you put on. Be it a lighter shade or a darker shade, MAC 217 provides an amazing finish to your make up. This brush can be used to apply concealer, eyeshadow, contouring and many other similar make up applications. Once you get the feel of it, you are going to stick by it and never worry about the $22.50 spent for obtaining it!

The only complaints you get to hear about this brush is from some people complaining about its white color. As cleaning white brush is harder, many people would have preferred a darker colored brush. But shades of make up product would look better on a white brush than a darker brush. Thus measuring the amount of make up product on a brush would be better with the current white brush. This way, there are conflicting opinions on the color of MAC 217.

If you are not willing to spend $22.50 for MAC 217, you can go for a cheaper AVON brush. But, you will only get what you pay for!
