the Best make up brushes for the LEAST amount of money

I need to get new brushes (especially blush/bronzer and eyeshadow) but I don't want to spend a fortune.

at the same time, I have sensitive, easily irritated skin.

I need a really good brush but don't want to spend $50.

please help me. I am the Princess and the Pea. Chat Icon

I only use MAC and Bobbi Brown brushes. Yes, I know they aren't the cheapest, but they will last you forever!!!! The actual brush is so soft that is great for sensitive skin and as long as you store them properly and wash them reguarly, you really won't need to replace them often.

For eyeshadow I use the CVS brushes.. and I really like them! I think the brand is "essence". They are super cheap and really soft.

I agree completely...I've tried other brands that cost less but always end up going back to MAC.

They last a VERY long time, and most of them are guaranteed for life - yes, I have gone to the MAC store and returned them for new ones.

A majority of the brushes I have are MAC, everything else is Estee or Bobbi Brown....I started buying one at a time, and a lot from ebay to help my pocketbook.
