UPDATED | Best Drugstore/ Affordable Makeup Brushes

[@jennyumm89]

I don't know about all of you, but I am truly grateful for Elf cosmetics and brushes.

[@KathleenLights]

Lol yes

[@toriabreitfelder9444]

I agree!

[@VanessaFernandez13]

Me too! I like their BB cream and HD translucent powder. 🙌🏼

[@ginnyburley9552]

I love the way the Elf brushes feel and work, but I wash my brushes often and many of the Elf brushes don't hold up. It's a big disappointment, but when you keep buying them the price goes up.

[@BolaBella]

+Jennifer Cox I know right, elf just have great quality brushes!

[@katieflanagan3713]

I really appreciate that Kathleen is one of the only KZbinrs that truly use drugstore makeup and brushes. She always does drugstore makeup tutorials and truly loves drugstore makeup

[@jordannstover5419]

Emilynoel83 is another great one that uses a LOT of drugstore items. She and Kathleen are my favorites!

[@Namxta]

KATHLEEN MIGHT JUST SIT AND DO A 11 MIN INTRO AND I WOULD STILL WONT MIND. SHES MY FAV KZbinR OF ALL TIME. WHEN I SAW THAT SHE POSTED AN UPDATED VERSION I WAS LIKE THANKYOU GOD❤❤

[@retailwifelife4795]

[@JackyNieto]

[@stephanielee6925]

I love that she did a really different eye look.

[@kelshall8365]

[@icyvelvety]

Whoa, you rock that eyeshadow! Looks beautiful on your face omg.

[@jennbaby1309]

ikr

[@royalidols1783]

I literally just went to Sephora and can't decide which brush to get and when I look at my subscription box and you uploaded this!! God is real

[@shubhangikaushik4354]

Amen!

[@exol4ever32]

+royal idols ur profile pic is beautiful, ur an exo-l?

[@rubyr3654]

SAME OMG

[@alejandrajimenez8650]

😂

[@justicehayes4715]

+royal idols I just think that sephora brushes are over priced! I look at the price and I'm like damn, morphe is good to me, so is elf and wet and wild and some others that I don't have to give my first born child for!! You feel me??!

[@alisyadania4832]

Do make up tutorial like: - 90' grunge - for wedding (to go to wedding not being a bride) -a badass make up -do swatches on dark lipsticks you own -more make up tutorials! Love you

[@diamorefamily]

Wow. Even in neon green you slay. 💚💗

[@maddiecat-wb8ob]

her eyeshadow caught me off guard😂

[@wendibouma8281]

maddiecat2002 lol sameee

[@mckennariley9738]

maddiecat2002 SAME (but then I got the hang of it and got jealous of how well she can pull green off 😂)

[@ImmaBeAGurl]

i was honestly shook

[@anonymoushippo9392]

actually said "holy shit" to my screen LOL

[@elliecoleman5767]

It's not bad a lot all... but WOW. It scared the heck out of me

[@parisoundsgood]

I just want to say, I'm a new subscriber as of today and I can honestly say I'm OBSESSED. I love the "mood" and "vibes" you give off in your videos and the content you put up on your channel. I can't stop watching your videos and instantly I've come to trust your opinion, and you've re inspired me to re fall in love with makeup!! I've lost interest in the last few months cause the outcome when I did my makeup wasn't what I wanted, but watching your videos all day on my day off has made me just wanna do my makeup and buy new makeup! My wallet doesn't appreciate it but buying new makeup has just made me feel so refreshed and new.. Idk how to explain that, but I'm liking it!! Thank you for being you, and I look forward to seeing you in my subscriptions!

[@TwistedDoll09]

I'd LOVE to see your favorite Sedona Lace & Zoeva brushes. I never see anyone talk about those brands aside from mentioning them as they use them in a tutorial!

[@akosigm]

You can pull off any eyeshadow color Kathleen! All the love from the Philippines

[@paulinemm4775]

Kathleen, I found you like 3 weeks ago, and I have literally (!!!) watched all your videos in these past 3 weeks. I am in love with your personality. Thanks for making my life brighter (and for uploading so often). It almost feels like we're friends :D

[@chuchisbestlife9396]

Would you be able to do a video on the wet n wild brushes explaining which ones you do and don't love and giving us the pros and cons to each brush?

[@jessicarichard2861]

yess

[@chuchisbestlife9396]

+Jessica Richardson I think that would be such an awesome video bc we all know Kathleen's reviews are life. We can all trust her opinions on products bc she seems so sincere and honest.

[@rebekahsimpson2618]

Kathleen! i would love love love to see a video on must have makeup brushes, like types of brushes for beginners or something along those lines of what types of brushes work well for what task. you're the best!

[@mireyaaxo]

That green eyeshadow though🐸🐢🌵🍏🍐🎾📗💚✅👒🐍🌿☘🍵

[@RaeKelsch]

love it when you wear bright colors! this video came right on time, i am in desperate need of new brushes.

[@rebekahewald8736]

I love that you mentioned @emilynoel83 she's amazing just like you 💚

[@rebekahewald8736]

+emilynoel83

[@makeupkoala]

+Rebekah Ewald yes they are two of my favourite youtubers!

[@maryline0113]

love Emily!

[@Mimipinales]

Kathleen & Emily my fav beauty KZbinrs!! 💜💚💜💚

[@superstarmayi1987]

they are the real!!

[@meganthomas1859]

I almost exclusively use Elf and Up & Up brushes because they are so fantastic! The Up & Up stippling brush is perfect for cream blush and cream bronzer!

[@philippahindsdal9023]

I have nothing against people who get lip fillers, brow tattoos and so on. But I really like, that you haven't got veniers* ( where they "re-do" your teeth ) and lip fillers, brow tattoos, and don't normally use false lashes! I really really love it❤️so thank you! I have been watching you since idk, 10.000 subs or something! And I'm SO proud of you! You deserve everything that comes in you way! And also everything you have done with benefit! It's amazing what you do, and what you do for us❤️ thank you

[@KendallAlfred]

I literally feel like hunting down each and every one of these recommendations. I don't know why but my brush collection is seriously lacking so I cannot wait to spy these in my stores. Thanks girl

[@lyndseawillis6743]

You can pull off any color. Any color eyeshadow, any lip color, and color eyeliner. So so beautiful

[@hannahp7252]

Kathleen! You should create a brush line 💕💕

[@chicklet3123]

LOOOOOVE that you mentioned +EmilyNoel83!! You, her, and +JamiePaigeBeauty are my favorite KZbinrs! It makes me smile that you recognize great channels that might not have millions of subs yet (even though they totally deserve it) because you know what's good. Keep up the amazing work, Kathleen! Thanks for all you do!

[@rayrocks2000]

god this eye shadow look is so beautiful

[@cloutydaze]

I couldn't stop looking at your lashes 😍 you should talk about your favorite lashes 💖

[@barbararivera5917]

OMG pleasee do an All Morphe favorites!! I need to get brushes but dont know what to get. Also if you could include their eye palettes and who would or what you would recommend them for (like "this is best for green eyes" and "perfect for smokey or everyday" etc. PLEASE!!!!

[@klaudiamihalj]

Can't stop staring at your eyes in this video!! You're truly a stunner, hope you get reminded that every single day! Love you so much xx

[@xobitchxo1862]

I've watched so many KZbinrs that do makeup and stuff for makeup cuz I'm in the beginning stage of wearing makeup. And of course am on a budget for only drugstore stuff. and Kathleen is the first makeup KZbinr that I just subscribed to. Her personality is amazing she does amazing videos that are helpful and not boring to watch so thanks for the amazing videos :)

[@daisiesandcoffee9977]

I love how you're so open to using affordable brushes and makeup like elf. So many popular makeup gurus stay away from them maybe to show that they can afford expensive brushes or it's like they don't want to try cheap ones out, really appreciate this!!

[@TheHannahCanada]

your eyelook is so beautifully blended and suits you soooo welll and AHHh thank you for this videooo

[@breannenicole9264]

I don't really care about makeup brushes but I was like it's Kathleen I must watch this video! Because even if I'm not interested in the videos you talk about I still have to watch the video - plus I end up enjoying the video anyways.

[@KLaaiiNeeSx3]

Kathleen, you're probably the only person who can pull off that eye makeup! greetings from Switzerland!xxx

[@laurajayne5506]

your energy is always so great! feeling stressed revising for finals and listening to u always calms me down :) love the eye shadow btw! rocking it xx

[@Bexp3]

Can I just say I seriously adore you and your channel. Thank you for being yourself and being honest with who you are. I check your channel every day and I get excited when you post new videos(: Your bold eye in this video really drew me in. It made me want to hear every word you had to say. I think I am going to try out some bright bold looks now. Thank you for being you!

[@StyleBySam15]

im loving your eyelook here!! its so unique and actually suits you xx

[@samanthaboggs8850]

Girl, that eyeshadow! 😍😍 I've noticed that the newest elf brushes I've bought don't have the names on them. I just replaced one of my older ones & the new one didn't have the name on it, I don't like that! Oh well, still awesome brushes! Thanks for the video, love these types!

[@TaylorFeltMusic]

MY FAV SERIES!!!! Just went to CVS and picked up a bunch of brushes yassss!!

[@ZepStar12]

I love that she mentionec EmileyNoel. That girl has been on youtube forever and never loses her honesty or positivity. Plus her videos are always sooo informative. BaileyB is like that too. Great AND honest youtubers.

[@vidhibhatia9877]

[@BrianaFlog]

[@jakobvalentine]

I ABSOLUTELY LOOVVVEEEE this look on you!!!! It's so bright and pretty much the opposite of what you usually do (don't get me wrong I LOOVVVEEEE your everyday look!!!! LOOVVVEEEE!!!!) I just got so distracted by your eyes I had to watch this video twice bc I honestly didn't hear half of what you said the first time around lol.

[@9crimes3sirens]

I love the green eyeshadow!!

[@hopepalmer5900]

Btw I'm so proud that you went to that benefit thing.

[@mariannaplusthree]

Kathleen, have you tried any ecotools brushes? I have some, and I think they work really well. I use the tapered powder looking brush for my bronzer.

[@sweetsupernova631]

+Marianna Gilbert in her old videos she is seen using the 2 sided eyeshadow brush from ecotools. yes they are amazing and made from recycled materials which is awesome!

[@0livi4styl3s]

watch her last affordable brushes video! she talks about ecotools and that specific brush.

[@BloodSportKumite]

MariannaPlusTwo I love brand soeco, similar but cheAper, similar to ecotools but even better, I love their bronzer also great for foundation

[@jihanhabeeb7751]

Omg I'm so glad you did this video! I've been looking for some good affordable brushes. And I'm so glad you included a travel option as well because I'm going on a trip soon and I wanted to take some smaller size brushes that are easy to travel with. Thank you so much!!

[@nicholecalandrelle4747]

Kathleen I just want you to know that it makes me so happy to see you in Vegas having a good time after watching your anxiety video. Keep workin hard girl.

[@mandas677]

I'd love to hear your opinion on EcoTools brushes.

[@sweetcheeks133]

Yes agree

[@SuperAMG11]

Agreed. I always see them at walmart, but they never have any tester ones out to feel or look at.

[@nightmareindreamland]

+SuperAMG11 They have testers at Kohl's if you have one near u :)

[@SuperAMG11]

[@VikkiBounds]

I just bought that Morphe fan brush recently. Love it. And you're right about that elf stippling brush. I have the long handle one & it looks very different. I will be looking now for that travel one. Great video!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@beatrizcarbajal1846]

I know it's random but Kathleen I am so proud of you ❤️ seeing your snaps reminds me of how great of an inspiration to me. Ever since you uploaded your Kat chats video about you anxiety, I can notice how you've been trying to get out and you actually went to Vegas! I just want to say I'm so proud you're trying and thank you for everything you done. Love you Kathleen! xoxo

[@shannem9650]

I just met you in Vegas last night and you are so sweet! I was so in awe when I met you I could barely get any words out. Lol. But I just wanted to say you are SO sweet. And so genuine in person just as you are on camera. And so goofy and giddy. And even more Gorgeous and Beautiful in person. May sound weird, but now that I've met you, I feel an even stronger connection when I watch your videos. You're awesome 😌💖 PS: I'm so happy for you for traveling!

[@foodishbeauty]

Wow the neon 😍 Only you can pull it off! 💕

[@zavocadofairy4634]

Oh God! thank you so much for this updated drugstore brushes! I would purchase them and not worry about it😘 your the best💕

[@yvonnedean8513]

Kathleen, I've got quite a few brushes from icing and they are SURPRISINGLY good quality. I couldn't believe it. I don't know if you've tried any but if not you should pick a couple up!

[@lifewithkatier]

the elf bare blending brush is great for foundation too! I started using it for contouring because of you, and I've been loving it even more now!

[@mo_m0rgan]

Kathleen, I know you love "wet" looking highlighters so you've GOT to review the new skin fetish highlight!!! It comes with a brush, powder, cream and balm to go over top and make it look glossy. I instantly thought of you😁😘

[@justicehayes4715]

I was not impressed by it. I did love the balm tho!! It looked great. I really loved the idea of the balm. And if you want to use a high lighter with it, you can. Maybe when I actually see a good tute on it, I might change my mind.

[@FashionChaletNET]

I love those Wet n Wild brushes. And E.L.F always!!! RT brushes are really great too! I recommend you try the new brushes at Rite Aid by Rite Aid- I hear they are great! :) X x

[@fiona3470]

and all the brushes in the mugs in the background are like "whaaaaaaaaat abouuuuuuut meeee"......

[@alysem.m948]
