Art store brushes for makeup

I’ve never even thought of this, great idea!

Good ones are at the body shop

Definitely too scratchy!

I’ve got a few that I use for my eyes, im not sure about face since most art brushes are pretty stiff and quite harsh for applying foundation

I’ve actually never thought about using art brushes for makeup brush. Cheaper option? :]

While I was shopping with my mother last week, we ventured into an art shop. I’ve been wanting a fine eyeliner brush for a while, and I found one that’s just perfect for my needs. It’s a Robert A Wade round taklon brush in size 00. It cost me all of $4 and it’s _perfect_ for gel and cake liners. I also picked up a couple of slightly fluffy flat brushes for eyeshadow lay-down, and a taklon fan brush. I know it’s not a new thing to use art brushes for makeup, but it almost seems like the brush companies know what we’re doing and are now producing brushes that are the right size, shape and fibre for cosmetic use.

In most cases they are made in the same factory.

Cheers
