I love watching your vid's. You are one of my favorite on YT. It's good to know what brushes to get. I have the 217 & 239 & found the best way to clean them is to use LUSH DAYO shampoo. It's the best and gets the hairs so white. I hope that helps. Don't mind my user name. I am from Australia & you guys have no idea how lucky you are.WE pay $33 for 1 mac eyeshadow & the brushes from $40 and up. My sister is going to the US & I will buy a few brushes,& MAC haven't come to IMATS & we don't have cco
@chrischaleone It's probably an older MAC brush. =) I think they changed it in 2001, maybe 2002? My first few brushes that I purchased at a MAC store have the label in the middle. =)
Hi PB~your tutorials are very informative. I just started becoming familiar with MAC products and recently brought some brushes the 217 and 239. I am going to order the pencil brush as well as 224. Can you recommend some face brushes or do a review on your face brushes! I only use powder foundation would you still recommend the famous 187 or should I go with the 120 or 150. thanks for your help and keep up the good work!
This is a really great brush tutorial! Very few 'professional' make-up tutorials don't tell you what brush to use and where, and what each individual brush does and the look it creates. Thank you so much! And thank you for introducing me to the world of MAC!
i think the 224 is used more likely in the crease, while the 217 is used to blend and apply e/s. it looks like the 224 is softer than the 217, while the 217 looks stiffer. i only have the 217, not 224. i'd suggest going to MAC and looking at the brushes... they're expensive so make sure you REALLY REALLY want them before buying them! hope this helps =]
i purchased the 224 and it really did'nt work for me, so it just depends on the size of your lids etc... it was just all over the place for me. i got the 217 and loved it!
I can't decide whether to get the 239 brush or 217 brush. Is the 217 brush good for applying eyeshadow on the lid or is it just good for blending? By the way, love your vids! Always look forward to seeing new ones.
ill answer for her XD The 217 Brush can work for applying eyeshadow, but it doesnt pick up as much pigment as others. I definitly recommend this brush though, its great for blending.
Hey i love your videos,they are both easy and useful.But i was wondering if you kind of make a video for people with shorter hair(i have hair little longer than shoulder-length)that's quick and pretty,for everyday use.I would really appreciate it.=) thanx
Hi i was just wondering what kind of job do you have because you seem to have a lot of money to spend on makeup and brushes. What do you suggest for someone with a smaller budget
go to ebay, look for seller "brush world usa", has great authentic bobbi brown brushes similar to the brushes featured on this video. you'll save more than 50% regular price.

wow this is really good. thanx for the guidelines. i will be buying the brushes this december, i have saved up some money but i think i will need more. i also want the eyeshadows, the paint pot ones but God i am so confused what to buy more the brushes or eyeshadow??
thanks for everything, i got most of the mac brushes from watching your videos and my fave is the 217. the 224 is also great for lifting the color up on the outer eyes.
hi pursebuzz! i really love your video... very informative. i'm sure a lot of people learned so much from this. i sure did haha. you have very nice fingernails and nail polish... sexy! maybe you can teach us how to put nailpolish the right way one day haha. thanks once again... i enjoyed the video so much!
Just a tip- for a more lighter glitter look- dip your 266 into a fluidliner and then a bit into the glitter. The glitter will stick more sparingly- and will be more subtle, and you will still get a dark defined eye.
the best brushes on the market are Trish McEvoy,Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown. Mac is owned by ESTEE LAUDER so they have changed their products alot..and not for the better.
well, i am ur recent subscriber and i love watching your videos, ur husky kinda voice make it more interesting to watch i must say:), and this brush tutorial is really helpful, i m on my way to buy 217. thanks.
The one that was really shimmer ish like. I'm buy mac tommorrow but i still confused about the paint! I want to also buy mac lipglosses but their is so many. Which one is the best that you know of? thx love ur videos so helpful
do u put the shelaq on before putting the glitter? is there another brand of eye seal besides shelaq. I know Makeup Forever has it but I don't know if it's as good. They dont sell Shelaq in Canada =*(
They don't have Shelaq by Benefit in Canada? :( I only know of Shelaq.. You wet the brush and then you dip the brush in glitter. Mac's Mixing Medium works too. but its not the same as Shelaq....
cool! yea like using cheap stuff too as well as the exp stuff. one of my friends who's a makeup artist gave me shelaq to put over my eyeliner so it wont smear. =) thanks for your response!
When using the she laq... do you always apply it before you put on the make up? or can you put on the makeup and then the she laq? Being asian I have a hard time keeping on eye liner... would you have a suggestion?
Shelaq is a clear liquid (like "glue", you can play with it a Sephora). I put on my liner last after all the other shadows. Does your liner smear and go away?
Yes, my liner smears and goes away. I have Shelaq, but am I suppose to put on the liner then Shelaq or vice versa? I don't know what to do to keep it on.
i love you vids. keep at it. i wish i could do some of those beautiful make-up tips u do. and have the equipment that u do.
i kno MAC has the best make-up cosmetics, but for sumone like me, i cant afford it. but one day i will. i really want a 266 brush..looks easier to put eye-liner rather than a pencil...lol
Hi there.. You know what When I first got my 266 brush like a bazillion years ago no other line had it. But now you can find that angle liner any where for a fraction of the price. Just keep you eyes out for it :)
I don't know for sure on this. But, I've always been told like once a week to once every 2 weeks... mainly because of nasty bacteria that gets into the bristles and grows. Ew.
Hey there its Tony and Tina, But i just got some from splash for like $4. Its really pretty. Check them out online. Shelaq is the liquid from Benefit.
