Which Brushes?

SmokeyEyes

Hi there,

I'm starting a make up course next once and was wondering which brush set would be the best to buy or would another brand be better?

I can get the discount with Inglot or Mac but there's a big bit of price difference and was wondering is it worth it?

Many thanks!:)

I've really good reviews about Sigma brush sets which can be bought online and are of similar quality to MAC or some Bobbi Brown brushes, check out some of the beauty blogs in Ireland for reviews

I love the quality of Sigma brushes, I definitely wouldn't need to buy MAC ones now that I have them.

As a matter of interest on the Sigma brushes, did you buy on their site? And what price did you pay.. I'm hearing loads about..taxes etc?:)

Yeah I bought them off their site, I can't remember the exact price for the full set but it was around $80/90. I don't think we had to pay any extra taxes etc, shipping was the only other thing I had to pay for and I doubt it was too expensive otherwise I wouldn't have bought them :P

Would definitely buy from them again!

Oh thanks girls they sound very interesting, will defo do a bit of research into them! Very reasonable price as well! I'll get a discount off Mac or Inglot but they'll still be more than that!

You could also look into Crown brushes, they have a huge range of brushes and sets

Just took a quick look at website, decent prices again, have you had any experience with their range?:)

Also was just browsing Inglot there and a lot of their brushes seem to have real hair, or list it as such anyway. I'm a big animal lover and vegetarian so this doesn't exactly thrill me, is this the case for most brush sets I'm assuming???:(

Hi, I have never bought any Crown brushes but have heard people talk about them on Youtube. They seem to get good reviews.

About the hair, not all brush sets use animal hair. I think MAC brushes use animal hair (I could be wrong) and obviously you said Inglot do to

I know Illamasqua brushes all use synthetic hair and are very good quality as well, I don't think you can buy them as a set though, only individually. Sigma brushes are also synthetic.

Sorry! I thought they were all synthetic.

SmokeyEyes

It was never an issue I even considered but it may be unavoidable, I'll try my best to do research and pick the best set that's kind to animals too:(

I have some of their brushes , they are good but some have fallen apart already, had them about a year and a half

SmokeyEyes

Ah ok, what a pity they seemed perfect!

I have the Mrs Bunny set. VERY happy with them, glad I didn't bankrupt myself for MAC

Sigma brushed 12 kit essential set is 80 euro including shipping to Ireland, we don't get hit with Taxes either! They also have 'pro' lines available or vegan brushes!
