what brushes????

What are your favorite brushes???? Or shal I say what are your essential brushes in your kit? also what brands are your favorite??? thanks

Kolinsky #4 round the ones Metina sells here -LOVE them can't
have enough I think I order one everytime I order paint.

I like Loew Cornell golden taklon brushes...fav size/shape is a #3 or #4 round

Lowe Cornell 795 series 3, 4, 5 all good. And for tribals and the way it flows and weighted to sit perfect in my hand the blue Robert Simmons #6!

#8 round sables and a thin eyeliner brush will keep me happy =)

I'm partial to the Winsor Newton Artist's Water Colour series sables. Particularly the 2,3,4, and 6 rounds and pointed rounds & the rigger/liner brushes. My second favorite is the American Painter brushes, particularly the script liner, 2,3, and 4 round.

I'm kinda a generic girl. I have no idea what I use. I like gold or white taklon... usually prefer white to gold. Gold seems softer to me. I go to a local discount supplier store (you have to be a member, but personal memberships are free... so is the membership to make you feel exclusive?) and play with what they have. You know... swoosh around dry on your arm to get a sense of what it's like. I'm kinda hard on my brushes (I do know better) so I'm not ready to invest big bucks yet. Most of the time they do okay. I think I have a set of Royal that are my fav (don't really know if that's what they are) I keep aside for fancier jobs than festival work.

I love pretty much any brush that comes to a fine point(if it's a round brush.) I also like for them to be kinda chubby near the ferrel. A few flat brushes are nice too (a 1/2", 3/4", and 1") I also really like having a big puffy makeup brush on hand.

What is a Kabuki brush?

It looks kind like one of those brushes guys used to use to apply shaving cream to the face. It is a very short handled brush that is big and fluffy like a blush brush

The one by Vargas is the best kabuki brushes for bodypaint ever!

yep yep, if I can glide it down the inside of my thumb and it stays in a nice even point, I like it. Some pep have a thing for shoes... well I like those too but I really have a thing for a good brush.

I JUST got a kabuki brush on clearance. It was marked down from 17 bux to 3. Didnt know what I would use it for but it was good quality so I snapped it up. And then I find this thread. Claps for Erika !
