Where can I buy the Sonia Kashuk brushes? I'm pretty sure that we don't have them here in Sweden, where can I get those? Is there a website where you can buy the brushes for a good price?
Yor videos are great, and you have very pleasant voice. I just wanted to say, if nobody else did, there is a dupe for mac 219. It is e.l.f. eye crease brush. I have both of them , an ufcourse mac is more quality, but the e.l.f. one is very good, especially for the price!
HI! I´m just building my first makeup brush collection and I don´t know wich brand I have to buy. I have watching some reviews about SIGMA 12 pcs brushes makeup set, they look awesome but they are expensives; I have heard too about Coastal Scents 15 pcs makeup set ahd they have better pricesm but I want to buy good brushes. I´m from Venezuela and MAC brushes are very expensives, and I prefer to buy it by amazon.com. I really need your support if you can tell me wich ones are good for me.Thanks.
@Marydi38 hey im trying to do the same thing...hey did she ever gave you a answer and im feel where you coming from about price...well i just wanted to know her answer plz and thank xoxodora
I'm so jealous of people who have creases, I'm Korean but not monolid and non doublelid something inbetween. And I love defined crease looks but can't do them without making it look stupid.
PLEASE HELP! :) i just went on the cvs site to see if they had those crease brushes and they did.. but i am asian and have a monolid.. so i was considering not getting the crease brushes because they most likely will not be well used and was considering getting the dome brush from cvs instead... wat do u think?
OMG you have no idea how long I've been looking for somthing like this.. exactly like this, seriously I love you =) Thanks soooo much.. Never stop making videos
i'd like to ask you where can i find sonia kashik brushes, it's the first time i heard about them...I live in London so dont know if we have that brand here, or if i can find it online
lol us girls cannot get enough of the word "stiff" or "stiffness", lol ... we know you don't mean it THAT way, lol, but it still makes us laugh ... at least those of us whose mind is in the gutter, lol ;)
Your vids are great, you've mentioned that you use bareminerals. do you happen to have a tutorial on your whole routine for applying the baremineral. Do you use primer when using bare minerals, can u use cream concealer for extra coverage. Thanks
Can you please tell me the name or type of brush that is shown at the begginning of the vid that is large and it has a pink handle and short wide bristles? I've been trying to find one everywhere. Is there a website that you can get it from? Thanks
do you ever buy brushes from brush111? just wondering cuz i cant afford the real mac brushes and want to know if they are soft and if the quailty is any good
there fake and not veryy great...i got scammed......dont waste your money on crap...cuz ther fake ..lol just buy elf and sonia kashik brushes!ef has great prices and the highes costing brush i saw was ike 7 doars.and there worth you money. u just have to cean them offten to keep them fresh...i guees
@Guliaglamcam ELF is not quality brushes. It's just better than nothing. But you can't possibly compare ELF with MAC, come on. I have both and I also did with ELF when I didn't have money for MAC ones. But they are a world apart.
I just wanted to say I love your videos! Just what I've needed to learn the new makeup techniques. I don't have time to read beauty magazines so your videos are perfect! Thank you again!
Have you tried any of the Sigma brushes? They are exact Mac dupes and the number are the same, but with SS before it. They have a SS217 which is the same as the Mac 217.
@amaya0223 yes it was, lol I look at that comment now and I guess it sounded a bit rude lol I was thinking the same thing when she said that and I just thought that it was funny the someone else was thinking the same thing I was thinking hahah.
@omgitslisa8 If by change you mean throw away, you should have to for a while as long as you're taking good care of your brushes and cleansing them well. You can use brush cleaner, or just some antibacterial soap. I prefer the tea tree shampoo from paul mitchell because it's naturally anti bacterial and it smells good. Basically though, as long as your cleaning them you shouldn't have to toss them until they start falling apart.
I just got a REALLY good and beautiful brush set from wal mart, I've bought a brush set from wal mart before that just completely sucked but this one is GREAT quality and it only cost 14.00
What's your opinion of the Essence of Beauty eye kit from CVS? I like them, but it only comes with 4 double sided brushes. I might be able to afford the 217 brush, but that's if I save my money or ask for it for Christmas, haha.
Mine comes with eyebrow grooming brush and blush brush with an angle smal brush for like maybe filling in your eyebrows and more.Its awesome!It also comes with the lip brush as you had the one thats comparable macs 222 i think. :] i love them! :]
does anyone recommend where i can get budget friendly brushes? I don't have to much money and i would like to start building my brush collection. Thank you very much for your help! God bless
at walmart there are ones by ecotools and you can get a set of 5 for $13 and they are SOOO SOFT! I live in canada so it's like impossille to findthe sonia kashuk ones
I have a fatter "Beauty Essentials" make up brush that I used for blush about a year ago but then stopped using. I want to start using powder blush again, so I would need to clean my old blush brush. However, I don't know how to clean brushes for my face, especially ones with old make up still in them.
i THINK that the Sonia Kashuk Smudge Brush can be a dupe for the 228, correct me if im wrong cuz i think im buying the Sonia Kashuk one instead of mac's 228.
Thats a really useful video, thanks!I've been searching EVERYWHERE for a duplicate of the 219 as i don't want to spend all that money, but i still can't find one! I know that MissJessicaHarlow on youtube has her own store which sells a pencil brush, but i'm not sure how it compares to the 219.
There is a Sonia Kashuk brush that I think may be similar. I've never seen a 219 in person, but I think the Sonia Kashuck one may be a little more pointed. I can't remember what it's called, but maybe someone else on here knows what I mean and can tell if it's similar or not.
hey...ok I know this is a little off topic but did u get ur curtains from target and if you didnt where did you get them?...I've been trying to find damask curtains but i cant find any that I like except the one at target...
i have found a dupe for macs 217 brush! It will be easier for people in england cos i got mine from boots. its the no7 blending and contour eyeshadow brush. It's just like the 217, the bristles are very stiff and it's dome shaped and it works great for me. so theres a dupe for the 217 for everyone:) Love your videos Marlena, you're the BEST:) xxx
Its true! I went and bought it today. It's 6 pounds from boots. It is almost identical to MACs 217, only it is the tiniest bit smaller. i think Boots ship to the US to.
can you someday show some cheaper brushes please i don't have that money for mac and max brushes. i heard about coastal scent ones but i'm not so sure if there that good. x x x
I am completely new to make-up (I'm 19, I've just never cared before) and so I'm just starting out my brushes collection. But with all the other make-up I need to buy (foundations, powders, shadows, etc) I don't have a ton of money. I know the Kashuk line is pretty cheap, but I found a cheaper line at Sally Beauty Supplies (sallybeauty . com) called Face Secrets. Have you heard of them? Do you know if it's a good buy or if I should splurge a bit for the other ones?
I have 17 fake MAC brushes, but my mom is convinced they are real! If you would like to take a look at my MAC haul video to see if they look real or not to you, and comment!
i love sonia kashuk line, i have 3 white handled brushes, the small shadow brush, crease brush (too big for my eye) and a angled brush. and my sonia k. blending brush has a black handle, and i love it because the handle is super long and i can have control with it
I use some Loew Cornell brushes as dupes... I've also been known to trim my brushes some of the inexpensive brushes so they work for me. I couldn't find a dupe for a pencil brush for a long time, then decided to trim one I recieved for FREE from an Avon Rep, and it works so awesome!!! I can't live without it, and wouldn't replace it with a MAC brush because it works that well.
I love your videos, thanks! Very helpful & you really explain/demonstrate clearly.
I got a Posh Brush travel kit for $11ish at K-Mart. It has a powder brush, foundation brush + some smaller 2-ended eye brushes/etc: = 8 brushes. They're great! So portable/'purse-able'. The sturdy nylon zipped case is only 1"x3", + I've squeezed in 2 more brushes + a sponge. Amazing! If any of you brush geeks find this & review it, that would be great. Much better brushes than other drug store travel brush sets.
i tried some mineral makeup and it really irritated my skin, i put on facial lotion before because i was told it could irritate skin but it still irritated my skin.. what do you suggest? Im not a big foundation person i really only use brown liner, eye liner and eye shadow.. i enjoy the natural look. I am fair skin with freckles!
thats exactly what i do ^^ e.g. if its a kinda really soft brush u can use it for blendin :) its cheaper and works well ;) but u cant subtitute every single brush :(
hey, i was wondering if you could recommend any makeup primers that would be good for oily skin to get rid of shine? i live in australia and find it hard to get a lot of the products that are available to you in the US so could you reccomend any that are available in australia? i've been using inglot and it makes my skin very shiny and i have been getting a lot of break outs from it.
actually it can genius. look it up. that's y it has to b washed thoroughly after use. contains chemicals. get over urself people. i didn't insult this tutorial -- or ur desperate attempts to cling to youthful beauty by any means
Yes, you're right, it can have negative effects if not removed properly or if you're allergic to it, but i think it's safe to say that most people watching tutorials like this are pretty much aware of the "dangers", so there's no need for the warning, thanks.
actually this is youtube, which is a public web site open to anyone, not just cosmetologists and other makeup "geniuses" like u. so perhaps there are ppl new to makeup watching this. thanks.
I agree, but if that's the case, then those unfamiliar with makeup will read a comment like your first one and take it at face value- i'm just saying that if you're going to make claims like that "for the sake of beginners", then you need to give them the proper facts rather than extreme comments. Also, it's not very kind to assume that people use makeup because they're desperate to "cling" to beauty or youth- most of just use it because it's fun and it's a form of self-expression. No offence.
all i was saying was be careful with makeup use. it's a well known fact that overuse of makeup, like women who can't leave the house without it, is unhealthy for your skin. also, foundation easily clogs pores and leads to even worse skin conditions -- which is why a lot of companies are putting out mineral and all-natural products with labels that say "does not clog pores." no offense taken, i appreciate that ur comments are coherent not just cursing at me for having a diff point of view than u.
ok lighten up. Everyone has their own reasons for using makeup. Im pretty sure most odf the people use makeup to try to cover up something they dont like abotu their face. Even people with the perfect skin sometimes dont like what they have.
The warning is always need it and appreciated for the beginners, is less range of "danger" when you get info, that avoid a negative effects, unfortunately do not avoid a negative comments.

i have found a dupe for macs 217 brush! It will be easier for people in england cos i got mine from boots. its the no7 blending and contour eyeshadow brush. It's just like the 217, the bristles are very stiff and it's dome shaped and it works great for me. so theres a dupe for the 217 for everyone:) Love your videos Marlena, you're the BEST:) xxx

Its true! I went and bought it today. It's 6 pounds from boots. It is almost identical to MACs 217, only it is the tiniest bit smaller. i think Boots ship to the US to.

you should try sigma brushes. There are many reviews here and many gurus say they are comparable to mac
rayosdelsol1 2 years ago
She got them from target... i'd say that's pretty decently priced... You should expect to spend atleast $40 for a brush set.

I am completely new to make-up (I'm 19, I've just never cared before) and so I'm just starting out my brushes collection. But with all the other make-up I need to buy (foundations, powders, shadows, etc) I don't have a ton of money. I know the Kashuk line is pretty cheap, but I found a cheaper line at Sally Beauty Supplies (sallybeauty . com) called Face Secrets. Have you heard of them? Do you know if it's a good buy or if I should splurge a bit for the other ones?

Face Secrets..is really good i own the eye brushes the...are great!

I would reccommend the Essence of Beauty brushes from CVS..they're much cheaper and work just like MAC :)

they begin to irritate the eye area when u use them for alot of blending on a daily basis. and it just gets worse after u wash them.

i love sonia kashuk line, i have 3 white handled brushes, the small shadow brush, crease brush (too big for my eye) and a angled brush. and my sonia k. blending brush has a black handle, and i love it because the handle is super long and i can have control with it

where'd you get your curtains from??? :)
littlemiss7 2 years ago
I use some Loew Cornell brushes as dupes... I've also been known to trim my brushes some of the inexpensive brushes so they work for me. I couldn't find a dupe for a pencil brush for a long time, then decided to trim one I recieved for FREE from an Avon Rep, and it works so awesome!!! I can't live without it, and wouldn't replace it with a MAC brush because it works that well.
Sonialei77 2 years ago
Hey Marlena could you use the posh crease brush as a 219 dupe?
p.s love ur vids
litabelle12 2 years ago
I love your videos, thanks! Very helpful & you really explain/demonstrate clearly.
I got a Posh Brush travel kit for $11ish at K-Mart. It has a powder brush, foundation brush + some smaller 2-ended eye brushes/etc: = 8 brushes. They're great! So portable/'purse-able'. The sturdy nylon zipped case is only 1"x3", + I've squeezed in 2 more brushes + a sponge. Amazing! If any of you brush geeks find this & review it, that would be great. Much better brushes than other drug store travel brush sets.

i tried some mineral makeup and it really irritated my skin, i put on facial lotion before because i was told it could irritate skin but it still irritated my skin.. what do you suggest? Im not a big foundation person i really only use brown liner, eye liner and eye shadow.. i enjoy the natural look. I am fair skin with freckles!

Is there anything wrong with using paintbrushes as makeup brushes? If you get paintbrushes in the same shape?
noshititskrae 2 years ago

hey, i was wondering if you could recommend any makeup primers that would be good for oily skin to get rid of shine? i live in australia and find it hard to get a lot of the products that are available to you in the US so could you reccomend any that are available in australia? i've been using inglot and it makes my skin very shiny and i have been getting a lot of break outs from it.

actually it can genius. look it up. that's y it has to b washed thoroughly after use. contains chemicals. get over urself people. i didn't insult this tutorial -- or ur desperate attempts to cling to youthful beauty by any means
monkeybear25 2 years ago
Yes, you're right, it can have negative effects if not removed properly or if you're allergic to it, but i think it's safe to say that most people watching tutorials like this are pretty much aware of the "dangers", so there's no need for the warning, thanks.
violettiger21 2 years ago
actually this is youtube, which is a public web site open to anyone, not just cosmetologists and other makeup "geniuses" like u. so perhaps there are ppl new to makeup watching this. thanks.
monkeybear25 2 years ago
I agree, but if that's the case, then those unfamiliar with makeup will read a comment like your first one and take it at face value- i'm just saying that if you're going to make claims like that "for the sake of beginners", then you need to give them the proper facts rather than extreme comments. Also, it's not very kind to assume that people use makeup because they're desperate to "cling" to beauty or youth- most of just use it because it's fun and it's a form of self-expression. No offence.
violettiger21 2 years ago
all i was saying was be careful with makeup use. it's a well known fact that overuse of makeup, like women who can't leave the house without it, is unhealthy for your skin. also, foundation easily clogs pores and leads to even worse skin conditions -- which is why a lot of companies are putting out mineral and all-natural products with labels that say "does not clog pores." no offense taken, i appreciate that ur comments are coherent not just cursing at me for having a diff point of view than u.
monkeybear25 2 years ago
ok lighten up. Everyone has their own reasons for using makeup. Im pretty sure most odf the people use makeup to try to cover up something they dont like abotu their face. Even people with the perfect skin sometimes dont like what they have.
booty2diie4 2 years ago
The warning is always need it and appreciated for the beginners, is less range of "danger" when you get info, that avoid a negative effects, unfortunately do not avoid a negative comments.
