How many times have you been at your favorite make up counter or online purchasing shades and blushes when you realized you would love to add a nice set of make up brushes to your purchase, but...gasp, they are running about thirty to forty dollars each. I know I have been down this road myself. Often times I give in and then vow I won't shop for three weeks because my tab was well over the mark I intended to spend. Well, here's a new tip that you may have heard of but if not you will be eager to try it soon. Many of us have an art or craft store nearby such as Michael's. You will be surprised to know that you can find many of the same brush shapes as the forty dollar models from MAC. With prices as low as eight or nine dollars. My recommendation is a brand called Loew Cornell. They have a natural bristle goat hair line called Maxine's Mop. Take a look at the picture below. For those of you that have MAC brushes I bet they look familiar. You can buy this kit online at www.hofcraft.com. Hofcraft even recommends these brushes for make up application use. I recommend washing your brushes in mild soap and warm water prior to use. Reshape and air dry and you are on your way to make up artistry for half the cost. I love the idea of that when gas is running close to five dollars a gallon.
You can purchase the five brushes plus the foam applicator above for about $35.00. You get five brushes for the cost of one!
No way!!!! I had no idea. That is so fantastic, I can't wait to try this.
