Artist Brushes
Ever since i saw Koren's video about Artist or painter's brushes can be Make-up brushes, I've been searching the Metro for the same brushes or even something similar. but as usual, it has been a failure... but thankfully, i found M.Enriquez Art Supply in Recto (where National and other Bookstore get their art supply). its not Michael's but they have a few and i mean a few lang that would pass off as artist brushes. they carry a brand named Sakura, made in Japan.
I got 3 "blending" brush and "eyeliner" brush. i really don't know the names but here they are.

these are made of aminal hair. pony i think. :) it was pretty soft when i first touched them at the counter except for the biggest one i got. that i had to leave on for a few minutes with conditioner on. i love how nice these brushes feel on my eyes.

comparing to my MAC 217
as you can see these brushes are thin compared to the 217. yah yah i know.. nonetheless, this babies fit my eyes right and blend pretty well and great for practicing. and they ran pretty close to MAC 222 and 224, even 225 i think. and the eyeliner brush is quite similar with 210.
M. Enriquez also doesn't have the big brushes like 134. so thats downer..
oh how i wish we have Michael's or even just decent craft store here. :)
i will soon post eotds using the artist brushes.
i totally feel like a canvas while using it.
love it...
i remember the names(numbers actually), its 9 for the big one and 6 for the smaller kind (i got 2 of this).
total cost: P429 ($10.21)
its really a big saver compared to buying high end brushes with my amateur skills.
however, i will still buy MAC brushes if i have a few thousands of peso to spare.
and also put them on my wishlist. :)
