Favorite Brushes

Hello ladies. This is a post on my favorite makeup brushes. In no particular order here's the first one...
* Sigma F50 Duo Fiber

Specially designed to generate an ‘airbrushed’ finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments.
Since I apply my foundation with my fingers, I use this brush right after to blend the foundation well.
* MAC 188 Small Duo Fiber

A flat-topped, full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of any formula colour – fluid, cream, powder or pigment. Ideal for creating soft layers or adding textures.
I like to use this brush right after my foundation as well as the Sigma F50. This brush is great for blending foundation under the eyes and around the nose area.
* Sigma F40 Large Angled Contour

The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades.
I use this brush for when I apply blush on my cheekbones.
* MAC 109 Small Contour

Use on the face to apply, blend or contour powder products.
I use this brush when I apply blush focusing on the apples of my cheeks.
* MAC 204 Lash Brush

For application of mascara products and separating of lashes.
I love this brush to sweep trough my brows after foundation and powder, and then once again after penciling my brows.
* MAC 252 Large Shader Brush

Soft but firm bristles for shading with eye shadow or emollient-based products.
I use this brush all the time for applying shadow all over the lid and sometimes to highlight under my brows.
* MAC 217 Blending Brush

For shading or blending of colour or creamy products.
I absolutely love, love, love this brush. I use this brush ALL the time when doing eyeshadow makeup. I I use it to apply shadow a bit above the eye crease and on the eye crease. I also use it for blending shadows together. I absolutely LOVE IT!
* MAC 219 Pencil Brush

For precision shading on lid, in eye crease or along lash line.
I use this brush to intensify a shadow look by applying a darker shadow on the outer V of the eyes. I also use this brush to create a smokey eye lid and a smokey bottom lash line.
And last but not least...
* MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush

For controlled eye shadow application.
This brush is good for blending colors together. I use this brush to blend my lid color to my crease color and my crease color to my highlight color. Sometimes I use it to highlight under my brows and on the inner corners of my eyes.
Hope you guys enjoyed!

Mac Pro Student Color/Tool Kit

Early April I purchased the MAC Pro Color Kit and the Mac Pro Tool Kit for school. Both the color kit and the tool kit with the 40 % Pro student discount came out to $800.00 dollars. A bit expensive but a GREAT investment. I always wondered what came in these kits. Now that I know I thought I'd share and let you guys inn. Just incase some of you are thinking of buying the color kit and or the tool kit for school or just to own. The Color Kit comes with this lovely MAC purse.

I use it but for other stuff not to hold my makeup. Unless you want loose makeup in your bag I suggest you buy a train case or something. I bought this SEPHORA Midnight Train Case. It was affordable and it's a good size to start with.
