I had a cheap set before from Sephora that were crappy, these ones are much better. I got them at CVS they have all sorts of different make-up brushes. I got the dual brushes or something I don't remember what it was called exactly. It comes with three dual brushes a foundation/concelar brush, a blush/powder brush, and a blending/large shadow brush. I also got a separate little eye-shadow brush. The work really well especially the foundation and concelar brush. They blend the make-up without it looking caky or heavy. And they don't shed. But you need to wash these brushes because after a while they get gross and don't work well. The eye-shadow brushes I'm not so sure about I think it's because the shadows I've been using are old and not very pigmented. The blush brush is probably my least favorite because it seems that the blush gets absorbed into the brush so it doesn't go on your face as well. But over all I like these a lot.
Now next is the M.A.C foundation. I purchased the Studio Fix Fluid in NW20. It was $23 I think. Yes it's pricey but it actually matches my skin tone. I've been looking for a liquid foundation that matches my skin pretty much since I started wearing make-up. It goes on smoothly, it's light weight and blends and covers up zits and red patches extremely well. The sales person said one bottle should last a year since you don't need that much for it to cover your face. So $23 per year isn't that bad at all. So if your have an awful time trying to find a shade that truly matches your skin go to M.A.C they know what they're talking about. I will continue to go there for my foundation needs.
