Love for Brushes

I'm developing a love for brushes of all kinds.  I bought a few higher end brushes and they are amazing.  They are incredibly soft and my makeup glides on like a dream.  There are so many interesting shapes. I am really interested in creating a beautiful brush collection.  Show your brushes and share any cleaning and storage tips and let us know which ones are your favorites.

Re: Love for Brushes

@Sonny4President From the side the TF brush 11 and the Z-5 have a similar thickness. However, the Z-5's tip is more tapered and so the hairs towards the tip of the brush are less bundled than the TF brush. When both brushes are moved against the skin the TF's tip makes more contact with the skin than the Z-5's does. Also, if you feel softness will be counterproductive to what you wish to use it for, the Z-5 brush is grey squirrel which is very soft. 

Re: Love for Brushes

Sorry I didn't get the z5 yet.

Re: Love for Brushes

Was sorting through my brushes today before giving some a bath, and thought I'd line them up for a family photo 😊

90% of these get used regularly, with the exception of the UD brushes.  Most of those came with palettes that I've already depotted.

 

I've been impatiently waiting for another photos worth of brushes to arrive for nearly a month, so getting all these out was oddly soothing.  I'll be sure to share the new acquisitions once they arrive. 😉

Re: Love for Brushes

What a nice brush collection -stands back to admire-

Re: Love for Brushes

Do you feel like the bronzing brush is too big? I have the cheek and foundation brush, I use the foundation brush for just about everything face related lol

Re: Love for Brushes

@Sonny4President I'm not sure if I'd say it's too big for what I use it for, but I don't use it for bronzing.

 

I think for my face shape it would be too large to use for bronzer, unless I literally wanted bronze on my entire face. 

 

I use it just for loose powder or diffusing the edges of harsher blushes and it works well for that.  I have noticed it sheds more than any of my other TF brushes, which is disappointing given the price.

Re: Love for Brushes

In love with your brush collection!! 

 

Which your favorite Tom Ford brush? I'm looking to buy my first one, and I'm leaning towards the shade & illuminate brush since I have that palette, but wondering if its worth all the money :$ 

Re: Love for Brushes

@kay634 Sorry, I'm just seeing this now 

 

I'm probably not the best person to recommend a TF brush, because in general they aren't my favorite.  I find most of them too large for their intended purpose, and I use the cream foundation brush for blush and the giant bronzer brush for loose powder.  

 

I dont own a shade illuminate palette, so I can't comment on the brush's usefulness with that - I bought the brush because it was a unique shape that I thought I might like for sweeping on eye primer

Re: Love for Brushes

Thank you for that insight! I'll probably try to look at them first in store to find the right size brush for me! Thanks! 🙂 

Re: Love for Brushes

Those TF fluffy brushes are divine. 

Re: Love for Brushes

Had to update my original picture.  They looked so unorganized with the first picture I uploaded.  Here they are all lined up and ready to play with.  I LOVE my brushes!
