You can find some online art stores where they sell L-C brushes for cheap. Depending on the art store, some of them do not have a full stock of brushes either. The only Michael's in town has a relatively decent stock but some popular brushes are often sold out. I am going to post my brush collection entry today :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614729291148266084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181186600989706663.post-64941586318820682082009-03-17T15:17:00.000-04:002009-03-17T15:17:00.000-04:00I heard great things about the Loew Cornell brushe...I heard great things about the Loew Cornell brushes. Apparently a few of them are good dupes for MAC brushes.

I could be wrong... hehe~ I'm not good with fine point tip brush like that. I need a slanted one to do my eyes unfortunately. :XAhleessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197712138269330386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181186600989706663.post-60462483932680366792009-03-13T15:56:00.000-04:002009-03-13T15:56:00.000-04:00Hi May,I love your comments: they are always long ...Hi May,<BR/><BR/>I love your comments: they are always long and full of details. This brush is the ish, it blows everything else out of the water and I can't believe it took me so long to get it. Maybe because of the price, 5 dollars isn't cheap for a tiny brush, but it's worth every pennies I spent.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I got the LC 3/8 as well as the 1/4 and 1/2. Those are great brushes and I'm going to show you my brushes on Monday.<BR/><BR/>I'm actually looking for a fan brush although I don't think I'll use it. Thank you for the rec, May. I've never ordered anything from Crown Brush but I know Coastal Scents get their brushes from them. MAC 219 is one of my favorites, of course and I bet the badger hair feels much better on the skin than white goat hair.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614729291148266084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181186600989706663.post-18180713072422767712009-03-13T09:25:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:25:00.000-04:00I have a Loew-Cornell angled spot detailer too :) ...I have a Loew-Cornell angled spot detailer too :) I got bored and rummaged through Pearl Arts and Crafts a while back, and picked one up. <BR/><BR/>If it weren't for the fact that I don't have time to do gel liner every morning, I'd use it a lot more... but since I'm short on time, I stick to pencils almost exclusively these days. If I want a really precise line of eyeliner though, I'll use the angled spot detail to scrape some color off the pencil and apply. <BR/><BR/>Even though I'm a little OCD and weird about having my brushes match either, I make a rare exception for a couple art store brushes :P I love 'em!<BR/><BR/>Apparently Loew-Cornell also makes a good MAC 239 dupe, the 1/4" Maxine's Mop, I think. (Maybe it was the 1/2", I'm not sure.) I have the 1/4th inch, it's really good for packing on color and for loose/flaky pigments and Lustre eyeshadows, but that's not a texture I tend to work with very much anyway.<BR/><BR/>I also found something kind of similar to the MAC217, but it's not by Loew-Cornell; it's by some Russian brush company (Yarka?) and made from squirrel hair. Super soft and fluffy, but a little flimsy... good for blending though.<BR/><BR/>And finally, there's also a dupe for the MAC 205 - the mascara fan lash brush - that I also own. I believe it's made by Princeton Art & Brush. I think it comes in the 20/0 size? I very rarely ever use it, but it's SO CUTE.<BR/><BR/>Also, have you tried the Italian badger crease brush made by Crown Brush? Do you know how it compares to MAC's 219? I have two from Crown Brush and love them, and I'm thinking of getting a few more ;PRussian Fortune Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436630587857809451noreply@blogger.com
