Recently, I found myself in need of more brushes but everything seems to be too expensive even if they are low quality.
A few days ago, I found a full collection for only $30! They were soft and luscious and looked great BUT they were off-brand. Without name etc.
I know off-brand makeup is a big no-no, but what about brushes? Should I get it?

There are some good lower-end good quality makeup brands. if you're just looking for brushes you can definitely try out Eco Tools and ELF. there are tons of affordable good brands out there.

Hey I have a lot of offbrand brushes. They have lasted me 7 months now and I use them daily. They are still great!

I always buy eBay brushes it's a hobby LOL! And for the most part they're the bomb. I find smaller sets 7-15 are. Usually more quality than the wickedly large sets

Even though they're cheap but you wouldn't know if they're good or not. I would suggest going into a store and looking at some of the cheaper brands makeup brushes and touching them yourself that way youll know if you like them or not. my favorite drugstore brushes are from elf, eco tools and real techniques.

I used to buy off brand brushes from ebay just to get the hang of it. it was great to experiment and learn. I really think it's useless to buy super expensive brushes when you are just beginning to experiment with makeup. but if you use makeup regularly I think it's nice to have some better quality brushes although not necessarily too expensive ones. I have a small verity from eco tools, bh cosmetics and real techniques which are totally affordable and real good.
