Review: MAC Enchanted Eve Brush Kit Basic. This brush set is part of MAC's holiday collection. It's comprised of 5 brushes, 2 of which are face brushes and 3 eye brushes, namely, the 116SE, 193SE, 226 SE, 213SE and the 266SE. If you think about it, this is aptly called a basic set because it's pretty comprehensive. You get: A blush brush which can be used as a powder/powder foundation brush; A flat foundation brush which doubles as a concealer brush; a crease brush which can be used to apply and blend crease color; a shader brush; and an angled brow brush. I've used and washed these brushes regularly for weeks now. They've remained soft and maintained their shapes. Unlike other travel sets, these have incorporated seamlessly into my makeup routine which goes to show how useful they are. Honestly, I've been snobby about travel brush sets and shunned them in the past because of their oft-reviewed inferior quality. It also doesn't help that brush sets usually come with one or two practically useless pieces (I'm looking at you,159SE). I only bought this set coz of the 226SE which is never found anywhere else but in brush sets. Gotta say, I'm happy I did. Plus side: no more than the ordinary rate of shedding. Downside: unlike MAC brushes in the permanent range, which are made in Japan, these are made in China with handles that appear cheaper than the permanent brushes. #makeup #makeupreview #makeupaddict #beautyjunkie #maccosmetics #twitter #blogger Included in pic is #nars Exhibit A.

Brush Review. The MAC 221 Mini Tapered Blending Brush. It's described in the MAC website as a shadow-blending brush used for application and blending of powders. I've vacillated between getting this brush and a flat shader brush because I thought it might be redundant with my 224. It isn't. It applies shadows in a more precise and targeted manner than my 224. Simply, the track of color it leaves behind is thinner and smaller so if you want to do more detailed work, this is a must-have. This is also velvety soft. No scratchiness at all, unlike the 224. The way I use this brush, I apply my crease color, which is usually dark or medium brown, blend it out a little using a window wiping motion. After, I use my 224 to apply my transition color, usually a light brown or tan, at the top part of my crease and blend that out a little as well using the same side to side motion. I gotta say, this is one of my best brush purchases due to the uniqueness of its utility and how gosh-darn soft it is. Good news, this was a limited edition brush but is now permanent. Bad news, during my vacillating period, I've noticed that MAC stores only have 1 or 2 of this brush in stock so if this becomes more popular it might be difficult to find.
