Best DRUGSTORE Brushes 2017

[@LeeDee5]

I remember when ELF were one of best drugstore priced brush (that wasn't even sold in stores at the time!) aside from Eco Tools (which is pretty much the original go-to drugstore brush line). Nowadays there are so many options, we're spoiled and we've come such a long way.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

I know!! The drugstore has really stepped up its game.

[@saneelahaseeb8375]

I recently discovered your channel and ive binged watch most of your videos, you're a mixture of Tatis glam (but her makeup is too expensive for me to believe I can achieve it) and Emily Noels humbleness :)❤ thank you for your channel, its what I've always wanted, aesthetically and content wise, very informative and realistic. Have you tried essence eye liner brush? its so nice and slim, perfect for winged liner for me. You should check out Catrice and Essence(eg their 8 pan eyeshadow palettes) theyre great affordable brands :)

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks so much for the feedback!! That means a lot to me :). I love those Essence eyeshadows but need to get more of their products and I haven't tried Catrice so i'll def pick some up!!

[@saneelahaseeb8375]

Drugstore Maven no problem girl. I hope you dont mind me dropping recommendations and questions on every video😂 you've earned a life long subscriber!! ❤

[@ninjajackson759]

Ulta is having a free gel liner with $15.00 Catrice purchase right now

[@amandabutler100]

Saneela Haseeb I love the essence eyeliner brush!!! I also use it for my brows!!

[@knc3]

Thank you for this! You're the only one I've watched that didn't throw in a sigma or morphe brush. THIS is affordable.

[@destlovesyouu]

i've been watching beauty gurus for years and this is the first time i'm ever making a comment because i feel like they are a waste of time but i have to say i love you and your channel! i just came across this video and i'm so happy i did. as everyone's saying it's hard to find a legit beauty guru who genuinely loves drug store products and actually wants to do reviews on them. personally i don't wear makeup and when i do it's very little and i kinda apply my makeup how i want and i personally don't like spending a lot of money on makeup since i hardly wear it but also because there are great brands out there for cheap but no one will use or review them because that's not what's trending. watching this video ive learned so much in such a short time then i did over years of watching beauty gurus and it makes me want to learn more or wear makeup more. i look forward to watching your videos so please don't ever change or stop making videos!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

This comment made my night!

[@tsholofelosetshedi7709]

girl, i cannot stop watching your videos. THANK YOU, for talking in so much detail about drugstore products

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks love!

[@tommiesuewhitaker8409]

I just came across ur channel as well and I'm so so glad I did it is sooooo hard to find channels that are based around drugstore makeup not everyone can afford or just don't want to spend 50$ on a eye palette thank you so much for your channel

[@DulcetFox]

I love how detailed your video is. It's a great video for beginners, which is exactly what I needed for my niece who is just starting to explore makeup more. Well done!

[@cadencel540]

SO glad I found this channel. Your videos look and are insanely professional, informative, and just clean and calm. Usually other beauty channels are super hyper and you're just fun to watch! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marygrimes5771]

I just discovered you & your channel this past weekend. Can I just say, WOW?! I'm so excited to find somebody so REAL and who understands that there are those of us who love makeup...but who don't want to spend a fortune on it. It's refreshing to find somebody who is dedicated to finding those gems at the drugstore and sharing them....THANK YOU! You offer so much valuable information and I've completely enjoyed every one of your videos I've watched. I've subscribed and will now be getting notifications when you post a new video, can't wait! You're doing a fantastic job!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Wow thank you for such kind words. I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Love finding other beauties on a budget :)

[@mavrick6499]

Thanks very much for the review. You did a thorough and professional job. So informative.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks for watching!

[@abby_13c5]

She deserves way more subscribers. She is the only KZbin channel I have found that is all about drugstore makeup. She gives a bunch of different options of makeup for different uses. She also doesn't repeat everything she says she gets to the point. You can tell she works hard on her channel, she is awesome

[@monik3650]

Ahhhh!!! This video was beyondddd helpful! Literally going out and buying the ones that I don't have! You always kill it in every video!!! 🙌🏽💜

[@DrugstoreMaven]

You're the best for watching from the beginning!! Thanks love :)

[@monik3650]

Drugstore Maven awww! No problem at all! You keep doing you girl! :)

[@denisef3228]

My all-time favorite contour brush is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It is oval in shape and I use it horizontally to apply the contour just under the cheekbone and then turn it vertically to blend it out. Works like a dream!

[@takishasage-freebeautyzone]

Hi there, my favorite drugstore brush is the large fan brush by EcoTools. It is absolutely amazing. Super soft, doesn't fray and I got it on sale from Ulta for $3!!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Ohhh i'll have to try that one!

[@tabithak5943]

I searched high and low for that brush and when I finally got it, it felt way too big for my products :( it was kind of a disappointment only because I was beyond excited for it and then it didn't work well based on the size of the brush and my products

[@sofiayasinskaya4024]

Love her hair

[@coffee-girl29]

Have you ever heard of EcoTools Brushes I bought them @ Ulta Tuesday I got them on sale for only $ 8.00 Dollars it’s the DAILY DEFINED EYE Set There also Eco friendly

[@Janna9519]

I love your videos. You can tell how honest you are in your videos. I just saw your channel like 5 minutes ago and I’m addicted 😊

[@bellashed4995]

Just discovered ur channel and your quickly becoming my favourite KZbinr - so thankyou for all your very informative reviews! If you could please do a makeup tutorial on this look , I love how ur makeup is so natural and flawless and different to the harsh new way of contouring/ sculpting makeup look! Would appreciate if you could ;) thanks from Australia!!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Aww that means so much thanks girl! Hey to Australia! And I will add that to the list :)

[@tinamartin1267]

Just found you today and subscribed 😁 Loved this video cuz I have no makeup brushes and have been wanting to purchase some but there are soooo many that I didn't know where to start 🤦🏻‍♀️ now I have some better ideas, thank ya!

[@heliennawensink]

I have the Ecotools set, and that lid brush is excellent. I hadn't thought to use the liner brush for brows, but I'll have to give that a try!

[@sides1974]

Mz Maven, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE provide us with a GRWM video of your look from this video. This look is STUNNING! I would appreciate explicit instructions to achieve this look🙏

[@meagantrotta6478]

[@DrugstoreMaven]

[@veronicaber]

I'm SO glad I just discovered your channel! Your videos are truly amazing. I have many real techniques and ecotools brushes, but I need more! 😂 Love from Argentina.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks so much girl! I'm so glad you did too!!

[@tabithaabbott6310]

I even use my real techniques sponge to bake my under eye area it deposits baking powder perfectly !!!

[@babe.ruthlesss]

This really helped me out, thanks beautiful!

[@ladorada3276]

I just ordered the Elf blush brush. At this point, you can just finish filling out my shopping list. Thanks for all of the great recommendations.

[@Dancnqueen8907]

I'm a huge fan of the buffing brush too but elf has one that I felt us very similar. It is their selfie ready one...

[@DrugstoreMaven]

That's a great one too!

[@Fairplaytrack]

I love your videos, they're so interesting and perfect for people on a budget!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks so much!

[@alessiadisimino6974]

[@DrugstoreMaven]

[@heatherbrown6110]

[@cristallopez4754]

I love the swisspers mini sponges they are like 2 dollars for 2 and are amazing.

[@erinj1526]

New subscriber here-currently bingeing on your back catalog. I'll definitely pick up the WnW crease brush. The WnW large eyeshadow brush is one of my favorites. I picked up two RT expert face brushes at the current Ulta buy 1, get 1 free sale. Glad that you recommend them. Love those girls. Wishing you lots of success in your channel!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Yay! So glad to have you and thanks so much!!

[@Gabriella-ta]

Just typed "best drugstores brushes" and tapped yr video - glad I did😄Your video was so easy to understand &thoughral. The technical aspects such as why tools are made a certain way, how to use them was unique to MANY videos I've watched....and sweet surprise for a newbie like me! Thumbs ups & subscribing..keep up the gr8 work❣️

[@kishaanderson2947]

I pass by the Wet and Wild brushes often. They look fun, but I was skeptical on their quality. I'll give them a try. Thanks!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

There are a couple duds but mostly gems!

[@jessicacraven1107]

Yay! I've been looking for a video on KZbin explaining different brushes and their use... and I'm so glad you suggested drugstore brushes and not those morphe brushes. I don't like buying online. Thank you!!!! 👍 this was a wonderful video.

[@jasminetellez4036]

This video was so helpful!! Thank you!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks for watching!

[@chynnascott4538]

You deserve way more subscribers 💕

[@alexak804]

My fav drugstore brush is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It took me forever to buy, but I do not regret it at all. It works sooo well! Same with their sponge. I love their products. I use an eyebrow brush that came in a Milani Brow Pomade product for my brows constantly, it's perfect. Also, the e.l.f. Kabuki brush is another fav, I use it like how you use the e.l.f. Beautifully Precise Powder Brush. It's good for just an all over powder or bronzed look. Love your videos!! I think I'm def sold on buying the Wet n Wild Crease brush after watching this, I've been eyeing it for a while now lol

[@alexak804]

Also! Do you have any other drugstore synthetic brushes that you recommend?

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Oh girl get that Wet n Wild one you won't regret it! Those EcoTools ones I mentioned are also synthetic!

[@valbrooks6982]

Where on earth have you been?💕 Definitely a new subscriber here! Fantastic video describing everything I needed to know about cheaper brushes, so I can give my better brushes a break. Thanks😗

[@cherylniday5821]

DM, I just found you a coupla days ago and I hafta say, I am impressed! I am much older than you, but I feel like because you are so calm and informative, I can definitely trust your judgement. Also, we're not all made of money, like so many of the YT beauty gurus, and I LOVE that you are centered around the best beauty at an affordable price! Thank you so much for keeping it real for us "regular" people! Best of luck with your channel. I hope you succeed beyond your wildest dreams! 🌸

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Wow thank you for taking the time to write such kind words!!!!

[@cubbylevi1764]

I recently bought the L’Oréal sponge and love it!

[@skinsciencebymira]

we love a lot of the same brushes. have you tried the Elf Pointed Powder Brush? I thought I would hate it because it has so much give but you can do a quickie contour with the tip, put it for bronzer and blush, and swirl to blend out. you could also use to set your eye and face. also like the Elf Flawless Face brush for blush and bronzer. also LOVE the Target Up & Up brushes! such good quality. the set has a great dupe for the ABH highlighting brush. I also love their foundation brush, it's small and dense but really soft and can make anything fuller coverage.

[@PrissyandPink]

Love these types of videos-so helpful. Your makeup here is beautiful!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks girlie!

[@meredithball1828]

I use sooooo many of those! My favorite brushes you didn't mention:Elf flat top powder brushElf contour brush (it's not as fluffy as the one you showed)Wet N Wild Large shadow brush for blending. Great video! 👍

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Great choices!! Thank you :)

[@yanamartin9440]

I'm so glad I found this video. Can't wait to go brush shopping now!

[@elizabethgreer27]

when you have EVERY.SINGLE.BRUSH.MENTIONED 😂😂

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Good taste, girl ;)

[@minushkamarie]

He head of the RT stipple brush came off the first time I washed it. Haven't had a problem with any of the others I have from them.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

That's so strange! Sounds like you got a dud :(

[@maecadayona452]

I'm a beginner and thank God, I found you here. Great review, awesome brush detailed explanations. I'm planning to get Sigma Mr Bunny, that's why I'm all over KZbin looking at reviews of all the brushes. Looks like I'll just combine RT brushes with e.l.f considering they're relatively cheaper than Sigma.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

So glad it was helpful!!!

[@estig.1798]

Hi Taylor, I just can't stop watching you! You and your channel are AMAZING. I love it how you give exact and precise information so well said and explanitory. I just love it. And in this video you look gorgeous!!!! Love your hair and makeup. I just love your channel. You show us all how gorgeous makeup can be done even with drugstore affordable makeup and brushes!!! Love you! Thanks for all the hard work you put in😙💖😙💖😙💖😙💖

[@danniellbirdzellbirdzell5991]

That really was helpful! Thanks you for the info. I have most of the brushes you spoke about. Good to know someone else loves them too. ☺

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks for watching!

[@SwagOfEurydice]

Love your channel, I subscribed right away! The decor in your room is gorgeous, so my style. Thumbs up all around girl! Keep doing you!!!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks so much!!!

[@elenatchougounova-paulson6462]

I am so glad that I found your channel - very informative and friendly. :) And I simply love Real Techniques brushes and sponges. :) Thank you!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

I'm so glad you did too! They're the best, right?! :)

[@elenatchougounova-paulson6462]

They totally are! :)

[@tysoncollinson5199]

Very happy I came across this because I'm not going to spend the $$$ on some brushes but I want that pigment pay off that I think I'll only get if I spend that extra amount and this was very insightful; especially since so many more drug story lines are coming out with brushes. Thank you 😊

[@fueledbybrenda]

I've used almost every single brand you mentioned and I have to say, this is so on point! I'm so excited to see more drugstore makeup brands come up with brushes, and that elf eyeshadow brush (@13:37) I've had it for the longest time and still works great :)

[@hizawaqas4051]

So,im pretty new to your channel and im enjoying your videos so much! your work is so helpful and i appreciate how well you do your videos! so calm and helpful!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks so much girl!

[@mikinyckel439]

I finally took the leap into Real Techniques brushes and they really are quite lovely! I have used their sponge for a long time, and I go back and forth between it and the Beauty Blender, I really don't notice a difference. However, frik, now I guess I have to try the L'oreal one haha. And I agree, that e.l.f. blending brush is so fantastic for contouring! It's my go-to. I have a few brushes that I go back and forth, but this one never disappoints! For eyeshadow brushes though, my H.G. has become Makeup Geek. I finally tried her brushes at the end of 2016 (when she had a sale) and holy sh**! They are fantastic, nothing compares (well drugstore cost anyways). 😊

[@DrugstoreMaven]

I'll have to try the makeup geek ones! I just checked them out and they look pretty affordable compared to MAC and other brands like that. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@MisaLiddiard]

I enjoyed this video! The Real Technique brushes are great. I always find myself going back to them. For eyes I gravitate to morphe more.

[@DrugstoreMaven]

They really are! I love Morphe brushes but wanted to stick with ones you can find in a drugstore. Maybe i'll do a separate video on Morphe since they are affordable!

[@mariemarcelino5780]

I absolutely love your videos! Can you list the foundations and what shades you are in for comparison?

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thanks girl and will do! :)

[@marcelalopez5473]

love your hair, hair color, and hair style!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

[@sunny5357]

Wonderful video, thank you! Excellently done. I love how you put the name and the prices with each brush before talking about them. This was a very helpful video!

[@DrugstoreMaven]

Thank you!!

[@Valentina_Salas18]

Thank you so much for this video!! So helpful and packed with information !! I love the eco tools brushes. They were my first eye shadow brush set and i still have them. I got mine a few years ago and if you take care of them they will last!

[@doramijes7614]

I recommend this video for the reasons that almost most of the makeup brushes that are have;)..I have the most curious thing that it was here that I also discovered another brand of ecotools brushes that are very good almost of the one I have, they are few but they are effective. highly recommend, you can look for them in your favorite stores or amazon, ebay and walmar, walgreens and i believe cvs

[@toshahowardmakeuplover8338]

Omg!! I want one of them elf brushes. ..love you girl
