STOP Wasting Your Money! Makeup Brushes Everything you Need to Know | MAC Training Secrets Revealed

[@PhillipPresswood]

Wow! I'm a college professor (English) and if there were courses in makeup/brush theory I would recommend you in a heartbeat!

[@lisajmakeup]

Wow! Thank you so much! :)

[@SueB402]

I love how you explain things in laymen’s terms and actually demonstrate what you’re doing. I’m a visual learner and appreciate that extra step. Would love to see your favorite brushes and how they perform. I have some high-end brushes but also some inexpensive dupes. Can you let us know which ones you think are a close match but are more budget friendly? Thanks so much Lisa! xoxo

[@lisajmakeup]

Hey Susan! Currently testing a bunch right now and will update you all when I make a video! Thanks!

[@SueB402]

Lisa J Awesome! Thank you doll 😘

[@silverstargirl20]

Susan B which Morphe powder brush Lisa shown in this video for powder foundation ? Can you plzz share this.

[@megcampbell704]

Absolutely love the MAC training secrets. You're a great teacher; keep teaching. There's nothing else quite like it on youtube.

[@moonkitten5934]

50 yrs old and finally I know what those numbers are for and the difference in brushes. I wish I would of been into makeup when I was younger. I really like how you do your makeup less is more and you look very elegant and classy. 🙏🏻

[@marinabrownrigg8008]

Would you do a top 10 MAC product. Would love to see your recommendations. Thank you.

[@Sbannmarie]

Do you know, Marina, if LisaJ did this video you requested?

[@curlgirl4265]

You are really an excellent teacher. I find these videos so fascinating and informative. Thank you for going into all these topics on makeup tools and application. Love it!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you! :)

[@dianesmith6462]

You take the intimidating factor out of using brushes. I took notes and am so ready to use your fabulous information. I come from a family of educators. Just because you know something well is no guarantee you can teach. You are both talented AND a stellar instructor! Thank you so much!!!

[@lizmiller7681]

You’re doing a great service with these videos. I recommend them to everyone. This one was very, very useful for most everyone. I thought I knew it already, but still learned the best methods from you. I predict terrific success for you w this series, and tremendous success w KZbin in the future. You truly are one of the best; you have what it takes, Lisa, and I’m so proud to watch you grow. Here’s wishing you and your sweet family a Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, from a loyal fan in East Texas. 💖✨💖✨💖✨💖🎄🤠

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww that is just so kind of you! Thank you so much Liz! :)

[@divyagupta7732]

You are amazing.. Sharing your tips and tricks which is actually very helpful and kind of you.. You are an actual makeup lover without any malice in heart. Love the way you illustrate everything so intensely 😘😘😘

[@Sbannmarie]

agreed.

[@lizmillner414]

Liz Miller ... wow, i am a Liz Millner! Love Lisa as well...so well beyond her years.

[@Tara1978Tara]

I’m stunned and amazed. Your videos are the first I’ve seen that actually address any of my makeup application questions. I have seen countless “tutorials” that amounted to little more than hours of staring at some nice lady putting her makeup on & learning little to nothing useful for the application of my own makeup. I always *knew* there had to be some rhyme or reason to how and where you hold the damn brush but no one ever talks about it! What little insight I’ve managed to gain in this regard has come from painting tutorials - until I found Lisa J.!! Where have you been my entire life?! I love you! Thank you!

[@emmafrancis611]

What are your thoughts on applying foundation with a beauty blender v brush. Great tutorial btw x

[@sheilamurray832]

Great tutorial, I would like help with the outer v shadow application. I usually have difficulty getting this application right. Thanks Lisa.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Sheila!

[@victoriabell2447]

Me too! Just can’t get it right.

[@capturedangel139]

Thank you for this brush video! I've never seen anyone actually explain the difference in brushes as well as technique. This video was extremely helpful! I can't wait to try out all your tips!

[@lisajmakeup]

So glad! Thank you! :)

[@wizardburg28]

Lisa! Thank you so much for doing this. I know all of your viewers appreciate it. It’s obvious why you were a trainer; you’re a natural at delivering information so that people get it immediately.

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww how kind! Thank you Julie!

[@feliciawhitehead312]

Yes Lisa please do a follow up video on your favorite brushes. I still have my brushes from 2003 from MAC. They do last when u take care of them. Great video darling.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Felicia!

[@dawsld]

This is such useful information. I see a lot of KZbinrs talking about which brushes they use, but not why. Great stuff.

[@Breezbug]

Yes please, more fav brushes. Do You know of any brushes that would be considered dups for the higher end brushes?

[@SueB402]

Karren Chris I just asked Lisa basically the same question lol. Inquiring minds want to know 😉

[@lisajmakeup]

Hey ladies! Currently testing a bunch of brushes and adding it to my list of a brush video to make with different price points! Hope that helps!

I've been using the real technique brushes and they are great... Also.. Essence and catrice come seasonally with brushes and the quality is amazing

[@brittanymyers7552]

Bh cosmetics best bang for your buck their sets are actually good quality and usually 20 or less for a whole set.

[@avenezia]

So much great helpful info in one video! The illustration on your arm using two different brushes with the same color shadow was a game changer!

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful!

[@maggie2234]

Lisa, what a great video! And the series is getting better and better! Yes, please, do a follow up video on your favorite brushes. Your explanations (and visual examples... thank you) are so good! ♡♡♡

[@lisajmakeup]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@missmishmisha]

Thanks Lisa.... Yes plz more brush videos...

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Marwa!

[@naomitapper583]

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww thank you so much Naomi!

[@tayadulcich6545]

Watching this again. Just bought some new brushes. I want to say, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC in that color. Your sweater and lip color is beautiful on you.

[@debbieeckhardt8483]

Lisa, thank you for doing this very informative video! You explain things very clearly! I appreciate your knowledge! I'm constantly learning about using makeup brushes! I used to ONLY use a sponge brush for eyeshadows so it was a game changer for me!! It takes time to learn how to use which means "practice, practice, practice! Love you sweet Lisa! Muah💋💋💋💋

[@lisajmakeup]

So glad to hear this was helpful! Thanks Debbie!

[@jenniferjoyce475]

Wow! Great video! I’m loving this series!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Jennifer!

[@stephanieminica4457]

Love this video! Brushes are so confusing to me. I have some basic knowledge, but this really cleared things up. Thank you!

[@lisajmakeup]

Glad to hear! Thanks Stephanie!

[@lainrich]

wow, super helpful tutorial. I just discovered you through 50 plus beauty and am now binge watching your videos. You are a born teacher! Subscribed!

[@Kathrynh246]

Loved this Lisa!!! Saving it! Love the explanation of natural vs synthetic!! And the density and how it affects pigment! And!!! That’s so impressive how long you’ve had some brushes! I’m gonna wash more carefully!! Yes girl! I pressed my lid shade on while you were describing it and that worked so good!! Loved this and love you gorgeous girl!!😘😘😘

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you as always Kathy! Really appreciate it! :)

[@78summerbreeze]

Thank you for info on brushes, Lisa. I would appreciate seeing your favorite brushes. Enjoy all your tutorials.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much!

[@debbiegreen2095]

One more thing, I would love to see a video of your favorite brushes

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Debbie! Will do!

[@harmonyrose8553]

Wow. Just wow. I wish I had this brush tutorial in high school. Such invaluable information. Thank you!!

[@RPBSpeaks]

MAC brushes will last a long time. I have some from my time as a MAC artist 2002-2003 that are in great condition. Taking care of brushes makes all the difference ✅

[@Kat.D.]

Yes, please, film your favorite brushes video!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Kat!

[@debbielucas2245]

Wow, I really love these videos you explain things so good. Thanks

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Debbie! :)

[@sheilaghhall9342]

Yes please Lisa more on brushes and more on application to the eyes and dare I say how to for the oldies I’m 73 and what used to work doesn’t any more. Your videos are great all good no nonsense information please keep them coming.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much! :)

[@alfib.3646]

Yes, teacher Lisa! I’d like to see more videos on your fav brushes & demonstrations, plz! ❤️ your tutorials; very informative, and I’m always learning something new. Ty for sharing, you’re the BEST! 🥰

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww thank you Alfi! :)

[@sapnaajgaonkar4980]

Thanx LISA... i always felt so confused with the brushes.. this was really a great help in deciding which brush to use when.. great job

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you! I am glad it was helpful!

[@bywendywithlove9052]

Thank you for sharing my sweet friend!! I would love to see a video on how you do lower lashline eyeliner on yourself. Whenever I do it, I wind up looking like a raccoon!! xoxo-Wendy, NYC

[@lisajmakeup]

Great suggestion! Thanks Wendy!

[@kamaropayne5226]

Oh man me too. I don’t even do lower lash shadow or liner for that reason. I also have small, almond shaped eyes, I feel like it makes me look older.

[@karenspinazzola2047]

Oh, Lisa! You are so good, so informative! Wow! Never knew this stuff before! Glad I recently found you! I'm a 62 year old who is finally taking an interest in makeup thanks to you!

[@lisajmakeup]

Yay! Thank you so much Karen!

[@kimberleybarrett6485]

How helpful.....love it...thank you so much 💕 xx

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Kim!

[@cherylyork9762]

So happy that your channel keeps growing! You're not sounding over complicated or confusing at all. Great video as usual.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Cheryl! :)

[@ginasanchez1211]

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation of brushes. I too have had the same MAC brushes for over 15 years, and it's because I take good care of them. I find that using Fix Plus on a 252 brush is easier for me to apply shimmer to my lids. Will Fix Plus ruin a natural hair brush?

[@alkistisvar]

No you can spray a little fix+ to your brush even it is natural hair... Wash with a gentle soap even baby shampoo

[@normaalcantara5054]

Yes please, more of everything. Also what do you think about using your fingers for some applications and beauty blenders? Thank you!

[@momto4s.84]

You are doing such as service to so many of us, with your teaching, insights, and tricks & tips!! Where were you when I was buying all my brushes before this? Sure wish I’d seen this video a long time ago! Thanks for a great job, Lisa. Really love your videos! And your channel in general... I could listen to you all day!! ❤️

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww so great to hear! Thank you so much!

[@kiarak2870]

I am so thankful for these videos. I only got into makeup more towards the end of high school, even though everyone around me had been doing makeup since middle school. I was never very good at it and I never really understood how to do makeup because I never understood the fundamentals. These videos are so incredibly helpful and I've learned so much!! Thank you!!

[@louisehanes5331]

Definitely more brushes video. Always enjoy your video, but this series is fantastic. Cannot wait for the next one.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Louise!

[@katherinegoodacre9519]

Fabulous Job You are answering Questions that I have never seen other Influencers share.

[@debbienerys6863]

Very informative, and soooo helpful Lisa!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Debbie! :)

[@LinzSee]

FANtastic video! I especially loved how you demonstrated with swatches while you explained. Perfect for us visual learners!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Linz!

[@marthadewey1267]

Lisa this is the most useful video to date - you broke it down in way that the tips and content are consumable - I wonder how many eye shadows and blushes I have tossed because the way it was applied was just dooming the product to failure! THANK YOU .

[@lisajmakeup]

So happy to hear that! Thanks Martha!

[@cindy.in.so-cal]

Wow - mind blown. Great comprehensive tutorial on brushes, their uses and applications. I would like to see your favorites.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Cindy! :)

[@onlytymewilltell]

Why am I just NOW discovering your channel?! I've always been a makeup junkie or up until my mid twenties at least. I stopped wearing makeup for several years due to different reasons(except bareminerls every once and awhile) I'm now 34 and got back into wearing makeup again about a year ago and couldn't believe HOW MUCH has changed and discovering and learning all the new items these brands have come up with...everything has become so damn technical lol and one of the biggest things is understanding all the brushes/beauty blender, knowing what they do and how to use them. So I'm very happy and appreciative I stumbled upon this video!

[@lisajmakeup]

Awwm thank you!! I am so glad you found my channel! yes , so much has changed in the makeup world over the last several years. so many new great indie brands to try!

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

This is amazing,I love to see different brushes wow same color different styles I’m impressed 🥰

[@cobaltclam]

Yes please! Brush vid! Also interested in what you get for the money as you move up the money scale.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you!

[@kemberlymclain5800]

Wish I had found these videos when they were first posted, but I only discovered you a few weeks ago. This information is priceless. I have the tools but now I know I haven't been using them correctly. Thank you!!!!

[@kathygreen8398]

Love this series. As an older woman, I can buy oroducts, but don't know the best way to apply. All of these teaching series are so wonderful for a great learning experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Kathy!

[@flanamom]

I am learning more by watching your channel than all the other KZbin beauty/makeup gurus combined, and I have decades of makeup enthusiasm/wear behind me! THANK YOU! And your presentation is terrific! Have happily subscribed.

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww thank you so much!

[@kamaropayne5226]

For quick brush cleaning between application, sometimes I’ll just Wet a cotton pad with micellar water and swirl the brush into the pad; but I have had some brushes for a decade; I definitely take care of them 😊 Love this series!! I’m watching them like it’s my full time job 👄💄🏆

[@Tara1978Tara]

KamaroPayne - I love micellar water for quick brush cleaning!

[@kamaropayne5226]

Tara1978Tara YES!! Been trying out the Koh Gen Do spa water for makeup removal, but it doesn’t seem any more magical than regular micellar water 😕

[@lizcross4466]

Such a clear explanation of the brushes and how they work. Love to see what your favourite brushes are & why. Thanks Lisa💕💕

[@Whenfandomscollide420]

I’ve been watching beauty KZbin videos for YEARS now! I’ve always loved watching people create awesome beauty looks but never been able to translate that onto myself! So, I’ve always just stuck to simple/natural makeup looks. This video has educated me on the importance of brushes and how different brushes can effect the way the makeup applies and looks! Thanks you so much for this video! It really helped me!

[@lisajmakeup]

Hi Stephanie! I'm so glad you found this video helpful. I love creating simple, natural looks and I am glad I can help you do the same :) xoxo

Thanks Cathy! That makes me so happy to hear!

Thank you Amy! xoxo

I like how you explain things without having to much info and giving what's really necessary. I definitively would love a follow up video and also if you have suggestions on eye sets that are not super expensive but could be a great addition. Thanks!! 💙

Thanks Amber! I def plan to do more of these videos.

[@bonniepierce5164]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS. I swear I've learned more in 3 of these than in all my years of watching KZbin tutorials. This is fantastic information. I have around a 100+ good brushes and tomorrow I'm going to sort them differently in their glass containers. Putting on makeup will be so much more fun applying these principals. Thank you so much for being a GREAT teacher.

Aww, Bonnie this comment made my day! thank you!

Great series. My first good brushes were from Mac. I bought them back in 1991 in Toronto. Back then they were real hair and made in France. All of them, the hair is like new. I have good care of them. One brush, handle’s paint started to break down. Great brushes

[@lisajmakeup]

Yes! My MAC brushes have held up over 10 years, take care of them and good brushes should last many years!
