Does the brush have a logo on it saying like "crown brush" or "c309" etc.?

[PollyAmory]

My C309 does, but it is nearly 6 months old now, so I'm not sure if newer ones will. I have some Studio Series brushes that have number and name printed on the handle, and I have some that don't. Either it's random if the brush gets a number printed, or they've just changed their practice since then.

definitely getting thank you!

Glad you liked it! Thank you for the comment. :)

looks just like it!

[PollyAmory]

Yup, t's quite amazing really. 134 is one of the most expensive brushes MAC makes, and yet, in my humble opinion, it's one of the most easily dupable. It's actually the cheaper brushes like 217, or the 239,242, and the 252 shaders that I've had a harder time finding good copies for. I know the Loew Cornell makes excellent dupes for shader brushes, but alas, they are unavailable in the UK. :(

You just saved me a bunch of money! Thanks so much!

I have this brush and it really is a great brush. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it bled when I washed it. Other than that, it's soft and applies powder and bronzer like a dream!

You may not have Loew Cornell brushes in the UK, but I assure you you can find art brushes just in a different brand. LC are just a widely carried brand at craft stores here in the US. As a painter I assure you there are plenty of other great brands out there just take a look!

how does the whole billing thing work? since i clicked send & i got the email. does that mean i ordered it?

i dont wanna buy it anymore, so could i just email and ask them to cancell it?

[PollyAmory]

Wish I could claim credit for the idea! The sales guy at the art store suggested that tackleboxes or even just plain tool boxes would make great art supplies or makeup organizers. Not very pretty, but pretty useful! :)
