MakeUp Brushes: What's worth your money and what's not

I remember using sponges to put on my foundation and that foam applicator that they include when buying an eyeshadow. I thought they were the best thing ever created until I discovered these brushes. I've had them for sometime now and I'm so happy I bought them. Here's what's in my collection, some though didn't impress me.

1. Mac #187 (blending brush for powder and pigmented color) - I use this as a foundation brush because it spreads out evenly around my face. Doesn't leave any streaks and bristles are soft. It's made of goat hair and synthetic fiber. Fabulous!

2. Mac #116 (blush brush)- Doesn't leave the blush concentrated on one spot. Easy to clean and doesn't shed too much.

3. Laura Mercier (powder blush)- I've had it for over 5 years now and it's still in good shape. It's fluffy and I use it also as a bronzer brush sometimes.

4. Benefit Slant Brush- Not a good brush. Loses it's shape and hard to clean.

5. Chanel Kabuki Brush- This one I got the same time as the LM. Still alive and kicking. So full and soft. I use it with my setting powder. I'm not sure If they still have it today.

6. Sonia Kashuk (foundation brush)- This is a good alternative if you don't want to spend too much on a foundation brush. Does the job well, no streaks. Available at Target.

7. Stila Eyeshadow brush #15 and #5- One I use as a highlighter on my brow bone, the other on my lids. Hohum on these two...
