    I like Blank Canvas brushes. You can buy them individually or in sets. Lots of chemists have them, go in and give them a budget and ask them to recommend some. In particular, I use the F20 for foundation and I love it.

    I'd third the Blank Canvas brushes, if you hold tight and are organised on the day you're bound to get an excellent deal on them on Black Friday. If I remember correctly they were offering 20/30% off sets last year online.

    Great looks like it's definitely the way to go so, and I always wait for black Friday just like to have my research done beforehand. Thanks all

    Blank canvas and Mac brushes - Mac are more expensive but excellent quality and will last for life.

    I love Zoeva brushes and they're good value and a very nice size, I'm not a fan of some of the longer handle brush sets. The rose gold brushes look so pretty :)

    For more affordable brushes I'd recommend real techniques, they'll have good Christmas sets out soon.

    Absolutely, you are on to a winner there and that’s a great price. I’d be a very happy lady with that set!

    Mac brushes. They aren't cheap but they are brilliant! I still use mine and I have them about ten years. I mind them well and clean them regularly but they've never lost their bristles and are better than a lot of other brands of brushes that I own.
