I've recently bought makeup brushes off amazon and every time i use them especially when applyin eyeshadow it seems to take longer to apply bcuz i have to keep goin bac to build eyeshadow which seems to b takin up time. I heard tht rabbit hair brushes are better bcuz they hold more pigment onto the brush and it doesnt take up ur time when applyin. what r some excellent inexpensive makeup brushes that i can purchase. now that i have these syntheic brushes wht good use are they nw?

Synthetic brushes are mainly used for cream products, so try to use them for concealer, bases, foundation, etc. However, I do own a lot of synthetic brushes that work well with powder products. In this case in depends on the density of the brush. If it is stiffer it will cooperate better with powder products, if it is flimsy it will fly around and give you a lot of fallout, which, in turn, requires you to add more eyeshadow because most of it is on your cheek and it takes up your time. Some inexpensive brushes that I find work wonders are the E.L.F. studio brushes (all black). They are just fabulous. The other brushes from E.L.F., like the essential ones, (white handle, silver farrel, brown hairs) they... they are good if you are starting out and not wanting to spend a lot of money, but the hairs are dry, sometimes brittle, and shed like crazy. These are one dollar and the studio ones are three, so there isn't a dramatic price change, or a dramatic price at all for that matter. I hope this helped! good luck.
