Hi, i am really looking for reviews for mehliza beauty brushes. Mehlizabeauty.com has anyone tried

[@Carrascok1]

I have some brushes that I would like to get more from, but I always rotate them regardless they all do a good job. Regardless I feel that I need more brushes. It’s an obsession. Funny because most of my life I had one set only that I still have. They have been around for almost two decades

[@brendaf1033]

Yep this is really hard to do because I love all of my brushes. That being said, I'd have to pick work horse brushes. foundation: Wayne Goss no. 24S (can also be used for bronzer) bronzer: Real Techniques Duo fiber face brush blush: Wayne Goss no. 14 eyes: Wayne Goss No. 20, Hakuhodo (# is worn off), Rephr 3 cream blush & bronzer: Real Techniques duo fiber contour brush multipurpose: Sonia G Face Pro, rephr 4, Wayne Goss airbrush But I really want all of my brushes LOL

I started hoarding MAC brushes when they made the change to synthetic (worst desition MAC has ever made). As a result, I have 6 217s and 6 242s. It is good to see your recomendations and that there are options for these two!

[@mbwhims]

In this brush-pocolypse we can keep our sponges right? Please say yes lol. I can do my whole base with a sponge and real techniques blush brush. That blush brush is the real multitasker. It'ss my favorite for blush, but it handles powder and bronzer like a champ too. If I had to start over that would be the first brush I bought FOR SURE. I do my highlight with my sponge and I can't stop. Lol I don't usually do very intricate eye looks because I think my eyes don't carry it well, but my multitasker eye brush is the Sigma E25. I turn it and use it narrow side for precise application and turn it lengthwise to blend. I can also pack on color with it or softly pack shimmer. On the narrow side it is narrow enough for under the lash line. I can flatten it for eye highlight or wet it. Also my Anastasia 7b. I could use it for liner in a pinch, even though it's really firm but I need that spoolie man! I need it for brows and for my lashes in-between coats of mascara. Trying to take it to ten is hard! I'm going bare minimum or full shebang. Being in the middle kinda stresses me out lol.

I am a more mature woman and I have small hooded eyes with nowhere near the lovely I space you have to work with.
